June 1st public WT - Does God Have an Organization?
by LostGeneration inanyone read this yet?
more of the same cheerleading and self-worship of the jw organization.. on page 14, they even pull a few quotes from the bible, but not their own!
that of course is because when freddy was writing his version of the bible, he forgot to put "organization" into the text, so now they pull a few quotes from these sources to justify worship of "organization!.

Bethel Heavy...How is this determined?
by LostGeneration ini've read the term "bethel heavy" here and heard it once and a while when i was a jw.
as someone who has never even visited bethel, i was wondering if a few of you can fill me in on the details.. i know of course this is an unofficial title, but what is the main factor in reaching this status?
is it mainly given to those who head certain departments, or even work high up in certain departments?

Dear Governing Body - Why Have you abandoned Preaching Methods That Work?
by LostGeneration inbelow are two paragraphs from the upcoming wt study (dec 15th study edition, pages 13 and 14) here the watchtower writer praises the methods used in the past for their effectiveness in bringing many into the organization.
i have bolded phrases that emphasize these points.. 11 for example, as noted in the book .
jehovahs witnessesproclaimers of gods kingdom, at the turn of the 20th century, c. t. russell and his associates strongly believed that they were in a time of harvest and that people needed to hear liberating truth.

Content is King- Why the Meetings Fail
by LostGeneration inone of the big sayings for those that run websites is that "content is king" it makes perfect sense, as sites like this one have entertaining content for the targeted audience.
even better, more content is added everyday bringing users back repeatedly.
poptular tv shows and movies are loved because they entertain customers for a low cost or free.. on the other hand, you have the content provided by the watchtower bible and tract society, delivered though the pages of the watchtower and through weekly meetings.

Another Bad Witness - Elder School on Christmas Day?
by LostGeneration inhad a brief conversation with by jw father a few days ago, unfortunately still an uber witness and as a cboe he has nothing else in his life.. he brought out that he was getting ready for the elders school.
not sure if he was bragging or wanted sympathy for having to go.
lol.. i didn't press him on the details, though i wanted to ask if they would be covering all 7 chapters in the new manual on how to df people.

Any reason to Add new GB Members?
by LostGeneration inif you were on the gb, and you wanted to push your own personal agendas and doctrines, wouldn't you want to resist adding any new members.. when there were 10 members, basically each member has 10% control.. now that there are 7 members, each has basically 14% of the vote.. adding more members dilutes your power.
and if you truly believe the "overlapping" doctrine, there isn't really a valid reason to add anyone else, if the overlapping is applied to gb 1.0 and 2.0 only.. if another one dies, then basically you only need 4 votes to top the other two votes, that is pretty small power center, only four men.. will be interesting to see if they wait a while to add anyone else.. .
