  JW.ORG has jehovahs backing

  by antes8080 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  been hearing this from various people from the cong that jw.org is a clear sign that god is directing the org.. i have various friends in the it dept not only in brooklyn but mexico and colombia, just a fact there is 5 to 6 it dept all over the world that give support to jworgie 24/7... so i have ask them how they came up with the website wich is not the best but not the worst by far.

  all four of them told me the same story, there is a brother in florida that is profesor of some kind computer class and as project he made them work on the website so students of these college helped launch this site.. so more like jah backing it has more like satan backing...

  What explanation was given as proof that it has god's backing? Why is it a clear sign that god is backing the web site? I don't get it.

  So Brock, how has your entrepreneurial activities been going? You have a very interesting story. I purchase - and read - your first book and I will probably soon be purchasing your next endeavor. But I am more interested in hearing about how you got through the publishing process. Do you have any tips for the may wannabe writers out there?

  New "donation" arrangement begins to FAIL

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so here we are, almost a year into the "new" congregation donation arrangement.

  and its beginning, as was predicted, to fail miserably, and to have direct negative consequences on the poor sheep.. let me give you a little experience, directly from our congregation of about 80 publishers.

  back in may, after reading the letter about the "new" arrangement, the elder body decided to "donate" the extra funds on hand to wt, as directed.

  I wrote down $250. So far I have given $00,000,000.00

  oh! you be so bad. If only you were the exception. But as we all know, what you did is pretty close to what most of the r&f did.

  Shame on you all!! :)

  I was the account servant for many - many years. I am also a CPA and an accounting professor. So, I know budgeting and the many problems associated with budget management. Part of me would love to be a part of the financial inner circle to understand what is going on. But that would mean that I would have to shave my beard and go back to the meetings, which will not happen.

  What you describe get to the core problem with this arrangement. I suspected all along that this new system would fail. I love these stories, keep them coming.

  The Watchtower organization's crime against humanity

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  who are the real heroes of society?.

  are they not the people who are doctors and nurses and teachers and firemen and policemen and counselors and humanitarians?.

  because of the watchtower organization, we are missing generations of those kinds of heroes who will not exist (but could have) because jehovah's witnesses destroyed them by convincing millions of it's members those professions are meaningless and unimportant for them to pursue.

  Let me correct you:

  Generation after generation of productive human beings continue to be destroyed.

  It is actually just one (overlapping) generation.

  Other than that, you are spot on. They destroy the soul of its members and never allow them to be anything other than a Watchtower drone.

  Excited about the CO visit

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during the many years of being a jw, i could never really bring myself to be exited about the co's visit.

  this has been an issue that always kept me wondering back to religions.

  why could not feel the same happiness that made everyone around me cry during the sunday service?

  I always hated the CO visit. Those extra meetings were a real downer. I have been around long enough to remember all the additional meetings. The one I always hated was the talk after the WT study. Do they still have that? I still remember a few very insulting COs who discounted the efforts of the publishers.

  As an elder, I hated the feeling that we were under inspection.

  So, I miss none of it.

  Are these 3 generations, or one overlapping generation?

  I quit the Theocratic Ministry School

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after almost 24 years in the school and doing it since i was nine years old, i officially resigned.

  it has become increasingly difficult to prepare talks, especially with the new format for brothers.

  i did not mind doing them; i actually put the time and effort into getting them out.

  Brothers on the school can now be given assignments with assistants, just like the sisters.

  Wow, do they have to wear a dress?
