"Every year when each of Job's sons had a birthday, he invited his brothers and sisters to his home for a celebration. On these occasions they would eat and drink with great merriment. When these birthday parties ended--and sometimes they lasted several days--Job would summon his children to him and sanctify them, getting up early in the morning and offering a burnt offering for each of them". Job 1:4 The Living Bible

The greatest birthday party ever is recorded in Luke 2. Angels and shepherds rejoiced at the birth of Jesus Christ--something that Jehovah's Witnesses would like to forget about!

How much is the Watchtower worth?

by dido in

hi, am relatively new on here, so haven`t seen any postings about how much the society is worth, but would really be interested to know.

what i can`t understand is what they are doing stockpiling money, when they could give some to the poor bro`s in africa etc.

give to poor pioneers, and hard up ones in congregations.

All of the corporations owned by the Watchtower have combined totals of over a billion dollars--that's Billions with a B. Because Watchtower is not really a religion but, really a business, they need to keep the money flowing, not just for business expenses, but to satisfy their stockholders. Just the property holdings alone are incredible. But, unlike the Catholic church and other religions, they are not CHARITABLE, 'but CHEAP! But, like other corrupt businesses, they will one day come tumbling down! Any active, lurking J.W's here, take the advice of your own N.W.T.--" GET OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SHARE WITH HER IN HER SINS, AND YOU DO NOT WANT TORECEIVE PART OF HER PLAGUES. Rev. 18 :4 NWT .

I got the call today, only one problem

well i just got home and i have a message on my machine saying that there will be a meeting tomorrow at the kingdom hall at 8:30pm for my appeal.

however, they said on the recording that i will be responsible for getting my own ride there.

there in lies the problem as i don't have a car right now.

We listened to your committee meeting hearing. It is so remarkable how unloving these "spiritual shepherds" are. I also taped my hearings, as well as the appeal recently, and hoping to soon post the audio on line. By the elders not helping you with transportation to your appeal hearing definetely shows they are not searching for the lost "sheep". Where they have already planned the meeting, and pre-judicated the outcome, it is in their best interest to make arrangements to get you there. The elders are instructed to not let matters of apostacy linger. However, if you are looking for more time to prepare for your appeal, this may be an excellent opportunity to postone until a further date, on the basis of not having a means of transportation to get there. One other suggestion if you really want to be there is to ask the elders if there may be a SPIRITUALLY MATURE publisher who would be willing to pick you up and take you home. This would provide the means to not only attend the appeal, but to discuss your "607 B.C.E" research with them!

This Year The Push Is REALLY On To Invite EVERYONE To The Memorial!

by minimus in

the word's out to invite anyone and everyone-----as this could be the last celebration (per my mother as she heard it at the hall).

Kool aid man is planning to attend again this year with his "DEMONSTRATIVE GESTURE" (protest signs). Anyone who would like to join us please let me know. It was fun last year to see the Elders running outside with cell phones in hand calling the police. Little did they know we already had a written permit and the police kept checking on us to make sure they didn't cause any trouble! I'm not sure who they were calling, maybe warning the Witnesses who were coming not to look at the signs. We could not believe the "un-theocratic" behavior of GOD'S people. It was very successful and I am sure many are thinking twice who they will invite this year. NEW LIGHT!--Nisan 14 has now become DEMONSTRATIVE GESTURE night! Hey Minimus, we'd love to have you join us. At least you could tell your mother you went to the memorial!

Well, It all hit the fan!

last week i sent an e-mail of a compilation of of traits of a cult (i posted it here mon.

or so) to every jw i had an address for.

i knew it would come and sure enough it did!

Onesong, what you did can be very effective even though at times it may seem futile. However, we believe that all proactive measures in exposing the J.W.'s for who they really are works. All one has to do is place a little seed of doubt in the mind of a loyal witness, or even one who is just coming in to the so called "truth". Many ex-J.W.s have found their way free by so-called "apostate" signs in front of Kingdom Halls or assemblies, as well as letters and e-mails such as yours to "card carrying-time reporting"Witnesses. Many nay-sayers think these methods are a waste of time, but it can jump-start the Witness thinking process. Kool aid man believes in taking aggresive,proactive, methods in exposing the falsehood of the Watchtower org. (IF YOU DO NOTHING, NOTHING HAPPENS). Onesong contact us, we are only a few miles South of where you live.

For the second year in a row we will be holding a "demonstrative gesture" (demonstration) in front of the Kingdom Hall in an Eastern Mass. town. This will take place on Wednesday, April 12,2006, the Jehovah's Witnesses Memorial night. We will have a permit and permission from the local Police Dept. to peacefully meet and display our professionally made signs. For example--JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ARE A DANGEROUS CULT--OVER 23,000 ALLEGED PEDOPHILIES ON FILE AT WATCHTOWER HQ. THOUSANDS HAVE DIED DUE TO THE EVER CHANGING BLOOD DOCTRINES, ETC. If anyone is interested in participating, please let me know. This is the best day of the year to demonstrate in view of new Bible studies attending, relatives attending, persons of interest to see the other side of the Watchtower org. Let's help people from ever wanting to be a J.W. It is easier to stop people from getting in than trying to get Witnesses out! I wish in my early years (over 50 years) that someone would have stood in front of my Kingdom Hall with such signs. All you need to do is plant a litle seed of doubt. IT WORKS!

Help me drink Jesus blood

by GodisRight in

i don't know how to celebrated the memorial because i was tricked by jehovah witness.. what am i suppose to eat and drink?

is there a special kind of bread and bevarge that is need.. another question i have is what is leaven bread and what is unleaven bread?.

oh yeah, what is the date of the memorial?.

Here is how it reads in the NWT translation: John 6:53-54--"Accordingly Jesus said to them: "Most truly I say to You, Unless You eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in Yourselves. He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I shall resurrect him at the last day;". Matthew 18:20 states-"For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst." Nowhere in these scriptures or any others did He say that only a certain amount of people only could do this as the Watchtower organization teaches. Jesus words were meant for ALL who would believe on Him and who he really is--THE GREAT I AM! The date of the Memorial that Jehovah's Witnesses will hold on April 12 this year is of little importance. They are what is known as QUARTODECIMANS--those who hold to the practice of this event once a year on the Jewish date of Nisan 14. Get together with two or three other Christians if you can and partake of the bread and wine as Jesus commanded. If you don't know of anyone else you can commune with, read your Bible (hopefully you have a REAL Bible as well as the NWT), say a heartfelt prayer, and partake of the bread and wine. Don't worry about what kind of bread or wine you have as long as you are partaking out of a sincere heart. I wish you well.

You've rented a billboard in front of a KH. What would you put on it?

by whyizit in

jw

if you could rent a bill board where you knew jehovah's witnesses would see it, what would you put on it to try to effectively reach them?

and don't forget that lots of other people would see it to.

maybe the regular joe would be able to develope some good questions from your ad too.

I am in the sign advertising business, and signs no doubt can have a big impact in the community. We have been experimenting here in New England with sign advertising on telephone poles exposing Jehovah's Witnesses for who they really are and trying to entise Witnesses to call. Our message simply was (black letters on a white background) Jehovah's Witnesses have you found out yet?. We received numerous phone calls, some even from elders, whose numbers showed up on the I.D. box. they listened to a recorded message. We have also used a large 10 ft. banner, we have placed in front of our house for six weeks, as well as using this as part of our memorial night "demonstrative gesture" in front of the Kingdom Hall. The banner simply read "Over 23,000 alleged child molesters on file at Watchtower headquarters". To find out who these predators are locally call (978) 851-2924 for a recorded message. Go to DocBobs website, hit news, to see one of these signs.

What was the biggest scandal that went down in your cong?

by jambon1 in

as it says on the tin - thoughts please?..........

kool aid man

A young married ministerial servant set up video cameras in his home to film sisters in his bathroom,young and old. Since a book study was in his home, he had quite a collection of films, which we heard may have even been sold. Another brother told the elders and they did disfellowship this "holy spirit appointed" video voyeur, and the elders encouraged him to go to another cong. None of the rank and file were told what happened, but it did get around. We know one sister who visited us who literally collapsed on the floor when she found out what he did as she used to house sit for him and his wife. One elder actually pinned him up against the wall in the Kingdom Hall and threatened to kill him, until another elder pulled him away! Not long after, we found out he moved, with his wife and baby, a thousand miles away. He now lives in Tennessee, far away from where this scandal took place. In other words--he was run out of Dodge!
