Some time was spent explaining how the publisher should react if approached by the police or some other authoritative figure, what the laws are regarding this type of work and other relevant legislative problems that could occur when doing this type of work.

Where and when the carts are to be picked up and brought back and the shift changeover.

Where to stand and where not to stand with the carts, and basically in Germany they cannot be in one location for more than 15 mins. so they are always on the move.

How to react if anybody acts aggressively towards them, one of the things that was stressed was not protect the carts or the literature if anybody deliberately tries to do damage, but to call the police. Any incident should also be reported back to the elders.

Another thing is that they are not to try and engage anybody in conversation, this is something that many here have commented on, but they really are instructed not to do so. Exception being when they are approached, then they can have a conversation.

But the time I did do this, I though what an absolute waste of time.

Just how is JW org doing?

by Half banana in

i started posting on the ex community about five years ago since two of my children have remained under the jw spell.

back then i had little tangible hope of seeing the downfall of the org.

i now see evidence of big cracks forming in their hermetic carapace..

Gods name

by Mr.logic in

jw
friends

what is the correct spelling of gods proper name"yahweh or jehovah"?

if the jw's maintain that yahweh is more proper, why do they misspell it "jehovah"?

if the name of god is so important, then you should not only pronounce it correctly, but spell it correctly too.

With the tetragrammaton the Jews used two different sets of vowel, with one set of vowels they would say "Elohim" and with the other set they would say "Adhonay". Only when combining these vowels with the tetragrammaton could anything resembling "Jehovah" be pronounced.

The first recorded use of the word "Jehova(h)" was in the thirteenth century by a Spanish monk, Raymundus Martini in his book Pugeu Fedei.

This information can be found in the old bOrg book, "Aid to Bible Understanding" on page 884, the last paragraph on the page.

I do agree with cappytan on this, there are more serious issues to criticize the bOrg on.

Christ's Fake Brothers - Tomorrow's WT Study

by The Searcher in

tomorrow's wt study, paragraph 4 says this - "the early bible students understood the expression rendered in the king james version "my brethren" to refer to those who would rule with christ as well as to all of mankind after they are restored to earthly perfection.".

rutherford decided in 1923 to change this teaching, and create an elite group of christians.

for 92 years the men running the wtbts have perpetuated & embellished this false teaching - especially so during the past three years - and hidden the bible truth about christ's brothers from millions of people fearful to question the org - created doctrine!.

June 2015 Watchtower equating Apostates with The Antichrist!

by nicolaou in

shit!

it finally happened.. years ago i speculated on this happening but can't find the posts.

anyway, this is a tactically aggressive move by wt.

If I had read this article about a year ago, I would have just accepted it as written and not thought about it as any drone does. But now as a proud apostate it is so blatantly obvious that they are describing themselves as JeffT rightly says. Its also full of lies, half truths and hypocrisy, I am truly thankful to this forum and the views of others that help me to regain my critical thinking ability.

Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?

by minimus in

jw
friends

even if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?

your thoughts please..

Driving Force

Well I stopped suddenly going to meetings about 2 months ago, my last circus report was 4 months ago, so I am not yet considered inactive. But I am now 100% apostate and very proud of it.
