  WT September 2015 (Public edition) - We never petition for Money

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  page 6 of the september 2015 public wt, under the heading "how is our ministry financed"our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations.

  (2 corinthians 9:7) in 1879, the second issue of this magazine stated: zions watch tower [as this magazine was then called] has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.

  we have not wavered from that policy.

  So while they begged for money in the May broadcast, I guess technically they can say that the Watchtower magazine itself didn't do the begging...

  after gradually waking up to ttatt im finding myself with this question:.

  since it is so easy to be indoctrinated with jw beliefs, are there other areas in my life where i'm also under influance of other false beliefs?

  from the culture i've grown up with, school etc?.

  There is a difference between influence and undue influence. Influence is a continuum…at the extreme end would be undue influence, which is implementing by the methods found in the BITE model.

  If Women were elders, would it make a difference in the organization?

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine three single sisters who qualified to be appointed as elders in the congregation.

  they qualified because they started reaching out in their early teens.

  persistently and methodically they worked their way through the ranks by pioneering then becoming a m.s.

  As long as elders have to follow the Flock book, rather than their own conscience, gender doesn't make much of a difference.

  okay, i am almost forty and outside of my wife i haven't had a friend in decades.

  sure i have tons of people with whom i am friendly towards, but they all share something to do with work or business.

  i remember thinking last year i had no one who called just to talk.

  He is a person who guards his privacy very much. I'm sure this thread is alarming to him as well as the recent inquiry. I believe we should leave this conversation here.

  What is true love?

  by hoser in

  2. friends

  i just watched the video what is true love.

  first of all it is painfully long.

  secondly there is an uncanny resemblance with megan(the one who married out of the truth) to the girl in the jeremiah book who married out of the truth.

  No more district overseers.

  Emphasis on the new online TV channel.

  Cart witnessing.

  No more book studies (book study called Bible Study and rolled up with the TMS and Service Meeting).

  Public Watchtower and Awake are half the pages they used to be.

  Everything is about JW.ORG and some JWs wear all sorts of trinkets advertising it.
