  The question is: does the Watchtower practice the ideals of the UN charter? Unfortunately, no. Former JWs need representation before the UN or OSCE as well, in light of these two points.

  Article 18.
  

  • Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

  • Article 19.

    • Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

  Prayer Question I Had After Sundays Watchtower...

  while i was sitting through another grueling watchtower, dying from my brain being turned into cult pudding, i had this thought after i heard this read: .

  when we express our most intimate thoughts to god in prayer, he may answer us through a bible passage, an article in a magazine, or an encouraging word from a fellow believer.

  Remember when you could wear casual clothes to the congregation book study?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  i would get home from work,eat dinner,shower and put on jeans,a shirt and gym shoes to the book study.

  then,one day a letter was read where men would need to wear a suit and tie and the woman would have to wear dresses.

  it was stated in a letter that the change was due to, '' giving a better witness to anyone who would watch us walking into our local congregation or a neighbor's house.''.

  Are Circuit Overseers next?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  last year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?

  of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.

  they would have to care for their own expenses.

  I've been out for a few years, but I don't believe they have two midweek meetings on Tuesday and Thursday like before, just one midweek meeting. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

  Of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid. They would have to care for their own expenses. And they might be local to the circuit…a kind of super-COBE. I know there was a rumor to this effect a number of years ago, but it never transpired.

  Where the need is greater: TTATT in Spanish

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems most of the us growth is in spanish-speaking territory, and of course, there is growth in the nations where spanish is the predominant language.

  most sites oriented around ttatt, are english-speaking.

  there seems then to be a great need for translators...for instance, imagine if there was a spanish version of www.jwfacts.com.. unfortunately, i dont speak this language.

  i have been pondering about this for a while.

  i wrote to cedars at some point an offered to help translate his articles into spanish but the answer was that they had all of their efforts committed.

  i wrote to paul grundy and never got an answer.
