  How to email JWs at the Brooklyn Bethel?

  by ABibleStudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does any one know how to send emails to jws in the brooklyn behel or else where in the wtbts organization?

  is the email address format [email protected]?

  in this day of technology it would be very hard to believe that the wtbts doesn't use email to communicate with elders, cos, dos, branch, and bethels.

  The Governing Body need to take note on how to get an urgent message out

  today, no matter where you turned whether it was by radio, tv, internet, cell phone, or news paper.

  it was all about the earth quake in japan.

  it was an urgent message to relay to anyone.

  Regardless of how ineffective the door-to-door work is, it's mere existence is the means to motivate the congregation publishers to pick up their standing literature order, once a week. The publishers then contribute for the literature they take away from the literature counter. It doesn't matter whether the literature ends up in the publishers' closets or in landfill, the Society receives their contributions monthly from each congregation. This model, which dates back to the days of Judge Rutherford has been the backbone of organization's survival. So long as the contributions keep coming in, the model will not change. The expense and re-tooling involved in a more up-to-date and competitive method of communication would only be considered if the contributions dropped below an acceptable level.

  Another factor is the message itself. As the message has become less clear, less defined and more contradictory over time, the expense and effort of effectively communicating it may not be worth it to the GB.

  How were Rutherford's Cadillacs purchased?

  by InterestedOne in

  i mentioned rutherford's cadillacs to my study conductor, and he said maybe rutherford was able to purchase them because he was independently wealthy.

  were they purchased from his own personal wealth or with the wt funds?.

  My guess is that most of the money for luxuries donated to JFR came from the bank account of William P. Heath, Jr. If I recall correctly, Bill's name is on the deed to Beth Shan. Bonnie (nee Boyd) and Bill Heath were JFR's traveling companions on a number of his trips abroad. Again, my guess is that they picked up the tab for these trips.

  Man in Black/Expanded-Mind,

  I believe Keith's last name is spelled Milkovich. He was serving as a CO when I met him. He was a good guitar player and we used him on some recording sessions in Patterson. We used to call each other on Sunday nights when he was finished with his assignment for the week. We would each be sipping martinis and talking about jazz. We exchanged some of our favorite CDs. I really liked Keith and Mary. Last I heard he was a CO in the Chicago area because he needed to be close to his mother who was ill.

  In some respects yes, but in some respects, no. The elimination of all those clunkers from the old book was certainly an improvement. To me, with a few exceptions, the new songs are laborious, not memorable and not as easy to sing as they should be.

  The Tetragrammaton...And The Inserted Vowels

  by titch in

  for any and all persons who may have been associated with jehovah's witnesses in the past (or currently), you have probably read, or heard information about the origin of the name "jehovah.

  " as explained by witnesses, and even other religious groups, the name jehovah is merely the anglicized (or, english-language) version of the so-called "divine name.

  " the thinking is that in the original hebrew language, the "divine name" was originally represented by these four english consonants: jhvh; some persons think that it might have been yhvh.

  It was considered blasphemy, among the Jews, to utter the divine name when Jesus walked the earth. When Jesus was cited by them for blasphemy, it was because he called himself the "Son of God," not because he uttered the Divine Name. I have never found any hard evidence that Jesus ever uttered the Divine Name when he was on earth.

  The 3rd and 2nd Century BCE Jews understood that their imperfections and misdeeds would attach to the Divine Name, violating its sanctity. Therefore, to this day, the Jewish people not only do not attempt to utter the Divine Name, they use devices such as "G-d" and "HaShem."

  The Witnesses reject this reasoning and as a result, their admitted imperfections are closely associated with the name "Jehovah," thus violating any sanctity that name may have.

  The honesty and sincerity of your letter are moving and enlightening. Your letter should be Exhibit "A" to the contention, mostly advanced in Europe, that Jehovah's Witnesses undermine families.

  Your letter overflows with thoughtfulness and love.

  Well done.
