Anything i should know about the upcoming convention?

by CitizenofEarth in

anything i should be aware of?

i am not sure i will go, since i just moved away from home a month ago.

it is not cheap to travel 250km and pay for hotel here in denmark, and i am not exactly rich.

I see your choice as: listen to DY and go to the convention or go to jwfacts.com and get an education,

so i went to visit my jw aging mother this week (i've been df'd for 40 years) and she told me she needs to give the people who are taking her to the convention $10 each day of the convention to cover gas?

my uber elder cousin told her she needs to do this!!!

wtf?

Has anybody heard of Comp(limentary) hotel rooms at conventions, these are free rooms given to Watch Tower as a form of commission, remember BOOK ONLY THE ROOMS ON THE LISTS PROVIDED BROTHERS So, because of some mix-up we were assigned to one of these rooms and I was required to pay about $300 to WT, Huh? Why were empty comp rooms not assigned to hard up folks like single moms?

Watchtower study today - best practice in word

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

due to family reasons gorby was present today.. the watchtower study was about refugee's.. how to treat refugee's, jw and non believers, and help them spiritual, not financial.

nothing new.. what i mentioned is the juridical message underneath the whole story.

don't talk politics, listen to government regulations etc.. most bizar is that a whole congregation that normaly avoid giving any aid to people in need, this morning gave the best practice in word about what to do with refugee's.. if the subject was not that serious, this hypocracy could be funny.

The Good Samaritan didn't try to ascertain the motives of the victim before giving assistance,

Weekly Scripture Twist - aka the Watchtower Study

by doubtfull1799 in

“more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.

(matt.

4:4) elders can help by obtaining literature in the language of the refugees and by helping them contact brothers who speak their language.

So now the JW's are setting up carts/stands in our national and public parks!

by StoneWall in

thought i'd share this article i was sent today.

it's getting to where you can't go and take a leisurely stroll or hike without being bombarded with the stufff we want to get away from.http://www.citizen-times.com/story/sports/outdoors/girls-gone-outdoors/2017/07/06/proselytizing-blue-ridge-parkway/452390001/.

Two additional thoughts after reading the article (after the immense sense of relief that I'm out!) It seems that jws are on an "annoying" campaign to hasten the onset of Armageddon, and, Hey! Good News! Sisters can now wear slacks in the Ministry,

This is acceptable service attire now?

But beards reflect poorly?

Anointed Ratios

by Labate in

another recent topic got me thinking.

has there ever been any kind of study of the ratio of male to female anointed?

if the female anointed will be co-rulers in heaven with morris and company, why are they not represented as gb members and helpers before armageddon arrives?.

jwfacts: one must remember that (if you are a Bible believer) that gullibility is not the result of sin, Eve was gullible and listened to the serpent BEFORE eating the fruit, therefore it will always be necessary for women to be guided about by men for their own safety, (BTW Ladies, this was tongue in cheek, please don't give me red marks, Thank-you)

The prob!em of women on Earth according to the Apostle Paul is genetic gullibility (purportedly passed on from Eve) :)

Stonewalling and the Governing Body

by UnshackleTheChains in

why do the gb stonewall individuals with legitimate questions.

for example, they refuse to speak to investagative journalists like trey bundy, unless they happen to get caught somewhere walking about in the street by chance.. i remember the panorama documentary 'suffer the little children' where the presenter tried to arrange an interview with one of the gb.

i can't remember if the gb either refused or simply didn't reply.

Isn't there stonewalling at every meeting of Jehovah's Witnesses? If, at the WT study someone asks a question, they are told "this isn't the time" Is there a public Q&A portion EVER? If anyone has questions they are fielded in some other way than in a public forum, this is not an open religion, it is a cult
