  Deprogramming kids when JWs came knocking

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i had my two daughters with me this weekend (their jw mom has them the next one) and it was saturday morning around 10am and i said let's have a short "daddy school" on how to do research on the internet.

  so they were plopped on each side of me and my laptop and i was inbetween and was showing them how you can type in "jehovah's witnesses" or "watchtower society" and get lots of vids off youtube on these things and that they can always do their own research if they have any questions on the things they hear at the kh when their mother takes them.. so we were watching one and right then there was a knock at the door and it was two teenage jw girls (from a neighboring cong) offering the magazines... very funny!

  my oldest got rid of them and they were giggling and laughing about how weird it was that they would show up right then.. the jws are popping up everywhere in my life lately, ie, at the store, at the mall, at the gym, etc.

  Jan 1 1989 Watchtower pg12 and the Bound volume later in the year had a very significant change...

  WT: "He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century"

  BV: "He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our day"

  Truth book had a reprint change as well between the 1968 and the 1981 revision in the before and after 1975 hype

  Millenial dawn had a pretty good change new light between the 1902 and 1924 editions.

  You didnt choke in my opinion.

  Just letting rip with ton of verbal apostasy wont do a scrap of good. I aim, on the rare visits i get, to just have them walk away with one or two things to think about.

  she will have gone away winded that the public out there are investigating them...and it aint good and the kids (depending on age) may well go away wondering WHY they are not allowed to look in other places...

  What did they pay for it?

  renovations cost but the slave volunteers that did the work wouldn't have cost much.

  Ok Watchtower: will you be sending a DO to the funerals in Nigeria?

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  obviously you 'cared' about whitney's death, a horrible tragedy, enough to rally the troops and send a district overseer no less, to give the funeral talk.. do you care enough about the 20 poor jw's that died in that tragic truck cum bus accident in nigeria?

  who will you be sending to the funerals?

  what demonstration of the great brotherly love will you do for them?.

  Well will you?

  Obviously you 'cared' about Whitney's death, a horrible tragedy, enough to rally the troops and send a district overseer no less, to give the funeral talk.

  Do you care enough about the 20 poor JW's that died in that tragic truck cum bus accident in Nigeria? Who will you be sending to the funerals? What demonstration of the great brotherly love will you do for them?

  Or is it a case of 'damage control' in Whitney's case and 'time and unforseen occurance' for your african faithful?

  fresh out of the jw.org website http://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/world/jehovahs-witnesses-office-consolidation/ .

  the society as from september 2012 is closing 20 branches worldwide .the best bit is the last paragraph :.

  workers are available to spend more time preachingbecause of the mergers, qualified ministers who had been serving in small branches can now concentrate on preaching the good news.. a witness in africa, who was reassigned to the preaching activity, wrote: "adjusting my lifestyle to suit the new circumstances was a challenge during the first few months.

  That sucks...

  so a person or couple give up jobs and possesions to slave for the printing corporation, then are expected to preach fulltime or something and fend for themselves? the Bethel allowance may not have been much but it's more than they might get otherwise...
