  Why do so many refer to Elders as "window washers"?

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know the society is against higher education and the pursuit of careers but in my experience the elders in the various congregations i attended had good careers.

  in fact most had their own businesses.

  thinking back of the boe when i was a teenager this is what they had as a career: two were respected carpenters who owned a construction business, one a high school teacher(he was the po), one sold insurance and was a lawyer, one owned a landscaping business and also hired sisters to clean office buildings and other accounts he had, one was retired, and the last was a janitor for the school board.

  because people here like to ridicule Jehovah's Witnesses and portray them as being dumb and uneducated.

  In the meantime JW's manage to do all the things they want and many of them follow or have followed higher education.

  Large scale War in the Middle East

  by designs in

  2. current

  is this spreading conflict, war, in syria and iraq, inevitable and some argue necessary.. new leaders rising with napoleon size ambitions, old monarchies trying to hold on to power.. religious ideologies and groups challenging one another.

  battles for natural resources and redrawing lands and boundries.. are there parallels to wwi and wwii..

  In the UK the media is now writing about a big political cover-up of child abuse that was committed by senior public figures during the 70's and 80's. Child abuse was everywhere !

  those few cases where witnesses were involved are not important enough to make a real impact or impression

  i read on here posts about looming lawsuits and/or mulit-million dollar settlements that have struck fear into the wt society.. we all know about the candace conti case.

  it gained enough notoriety through news outlets.

  and i know that there are many many more accusations and cases against brothers and former brothers.

  Awake 1973 banned Witnesses playing Chess..why?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are all articles from jehovahs thoughts or do personal biased views poison the watchtower articles?

  imagine a brother who hates chess observing in discust two bethelites playing chess...would it be right to use jehovahs "spiritual food" to push your own warped view....yes!!.

  awake 1973 3/22 p.12 chess- "...the spirit of compitition between players can lead to unplesant circumstances...most families can keep comfrontations to the chess board...but for some the tension lingers long past checkmate...chess has been a game of war since its origin...a play substitute for the art of war...there is a danger of "stirring up compitition with one another" even developing hostility towards one another, something the bible warns christians to avoid..what effect does playing chess have apoun one?

  So Much For Advertise Advertise Advertise (another DVD thread)

  if the ultimate goal is to reach as many people as possible with the kingdom message, why does the society find it necessary to block any public access to the new dvd?.

  could it be because the public will see how vacuous their teachings are?

  producing this propaganda is a new low even for them.

  Protect the elderly

  by defender of truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this weeks km is telling elders to arrange for group studies with people in local nursing homes, with instructions on how to word things when speaking to the directors etc.. they are clearly trying to get to people who may not be entirely able to think for themselves or who may lack critical thinking and yet may have money to leave to them.. what can you do?.

  well, if you wanted to, write a short and simple letter or email to your local care home, perhaps directly even speak to the director yourself... warn them about the brainwashing and danger of breaking up of families etc.

  the km says they should identify themselves as jw's... .

  overhere they already have group sessions with elderly people in local care/nursing homes. Most of the time only biblestories are read aloud and a bible trivia is being done
