  Kingdom Interests

  by punkofnice in

  2. beliefs

  in a few words, how would you describe what 'kingdom interests' really means?.

  i think it means watchtower corporation's assets, posessions and rules..

  I'll say that "kingdom interests" are the individual JW members.
  The top priority is to increase membership and retain their cash.

  Both of which the GB's strategists are struggling with.

  What was your eye opening moment?

  by WasOnceBlind in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.

  i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.

  i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.

  I began to see that many local elders and JWs were breaking the law regularly, it was common knowledge.

  I tried to "deal with this" by speaking to the elders and two different COs.

  Nothing happened except more law breaking. I confronted an elder about the issue while we were out in service. He told me, "as a body of elders" they had decided to "ignore the situation". His words.
  I was furious. It took every bit of my self control to stay out in service that day. I was SO ready to go home. I was very angry. JW elders hide illegals in the congregations.

  I resigned as a MS very shortly after that and then did an accelerated fade.

  Then I found the "apostate web sites". Game Over.

  At the mouth of 2-3 witnesses a matter is established .Gods word the bible proves a generation is 50 years +, or - 5 years

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah`s witnesses make a big deal about the 2 or 3 witnesses in judicial decisions yet they ignore that evidence when it suits them.. firstly :.

  regarding the length of a generation matthew ch.1:17 gives a strong clue ,their are 3 lots of 14 generations mentioned which equal 42 generations from the time of abraham to jesus .. watchtower publications give abrahams birth as 2018 bc......they also give jesus birth as of 2 bc a period of 2016 years .

  2016 yrs.

  Bible Chronology, Egyptology and the Great Flood

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  fact: bible chronology says the flood occurred between 2348 and 2370 bce, depending on which scholar you listen to.

  fact: the great pyramid of giza was constructed 200 years before, in c. 2560 bce..

  so, if you believe in a literal interpretation of noah's flood, you believe that the egyptians built a great civilization, were destroyed by the flood in 2370 bce, and then somehow, they reappeared immediately after the flood, picked right back up where they left off without skipping a cultural beat.. oh, and isn't it ironic that legitimately studying the great pyramid of giza debunks jw mythology now?

  I really enjoy learning about ancient civilizations.

  It saddens me that most of the JWs I've known don't take an interest in much of anything ( except hiding their double life )...

  My first thought, which must be wrong, is this is arson to collect on the insurance...

  Sad that my mind first looks for potential corruption from within this org.
  Very sad.

  Our hall is asking for money...

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.

  we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.

  it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

  it's time for me and the mrs. to get the hell outta dodge.

  recently my hall has undergone major management changes and the atmosphere is..less than ideal.

  i'm getting multiple calls a week asking to set up a time to meet, i've politely declined but these guys aren't taking a hint.

  You could always have your publisher cards transferred to a hall out of town ( far out of town ).
  You know, because you are moving and all... ( wink wink )
