For the 2nd time this week on JWN I'm speechless.
This is a completely different religion to what i knew only 2-3yrs ago.
Would be interested to know if DNCall had been involved with anything like this new song in his time at HQ.

Steven Lett asks for money again
by Gorbatchov in
1. jw

the 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.

the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!

personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.

This is the first episode of JW TV evangelism I have seen.
I'm speechless. He is talking like Mr Tumble to a child.

ALL JW's to be at the meeting this week...

.

we asked this person if it could be aqbout the terminology change and they said that was already read last week...... we remember the last time they did this.

got everyone all excited thinking the big "a" was coming and all it was about, was the literature would now be donated instead of charging for it.. .

Oct 2014 to Jan 2014 Study WT's - What is 'really' being taught each week....
by EndofMysteries in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
since it seems most study watchtowers are all about worshipping the gb, i decided to look at oct of this year through jan 2014 study watchtowers and list the title of the study article, then the rewritten title to show what the point and teaching for the jw's to take home was.

i did that to see if it taught anything not having to do with gb worship, obeying, etc.

study article titled by the watchtowerfixing the title name based on the content of the articlecreation reveals the living god oct 2013only through the gb's published material can you discern god's qualitiesslave for jehovah oct 2013slave for the governing bodylessons from a well prepared prayer oct 2013confess to the elders or you won't get god's forgivenessact in harmony with jesus loving prayer oct 2013being regular at meetings is how you pass jesus requirement of lovenov 2013 be vigilant with a view to prayersdon't complain to god about your horrible life as a result from listening to the gb, and pray to not slow down on your field servicehow can we maintain a waiting attitude?ignore that the gb are false prophets and pretend that the end having not come is jehovah's patience.
BroMac

I like it.

Cult speak: Shepherds - imitate the greatest shepherd

Translation: Elders, keep your nose in everybody's business and be on the watch for opportunities for judicial committees and keep obeying the GB's instructions or be accountable to God for not.

DVD at elders meeting during circuit visit
by Saltheart Foamfollower in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
has anyone had a circuit visit this week and seen the dvd for elders/mss?

i'm guessing it's got an introduction from one of the gb and then demonstrations of how to behave in different situations.

i'd like to be prepared before seeing it to ask suitable questions.. the (not so) pure one.
BroMac

What I heard is the DVD is played and paused at different points, and questions are asked, "What would you do in this situation?" Discuss. Then press play.
