Updates on people leaving Wallkill?

by Lynnie in

does anyone have any updates on how many people have left wallkill in the last couple of months?.

i keep seeing pics of "going away parties" from my uber heavyweight bethelite cousins.

they are in their late 30's but must have some special thing going on (he's in purchasing i believe) because they get to fly all over the world like africa most recently.

What age were you when you were counted as a publisher?

by OrphanCrow in

the wts has always included minors and adults in the same categories - publisher and baptized.. i am interested in knowing how many minors, approximately, are included in the publisher count.

and, at what age a person started publishing.

what age was the youngest publisher reported?.

So, how did the 'beard article' go over yesterday at your congregation?

by neat blue dog in

at mine the conductor was somewhat awkward and minimal and there were nervous chuckles from the audience.

two people, including an elder, gave reasonable comments that it's okay as long as it's not extreme styles, etc.

but then another one of the elders commented that nothing has changed and they still aren't proper locally.

The Watchtower did a brilliant job of keeping the ban on beards while appearing to say the total opposite. They are amazing spindoctors.

Proverbs 4:18 "light gets brighter"

by stuckinarut2 in

we are all familiar with the classic use by the society of proverbs 4:18 about "light getting brighter".

they say it applies to revealed truth, and doctrinal changes etc.. have you ever just read that chapter (and even the surrounding chapters) in full??.

it has nothing to do with doctrinal changes or teachings.. it has to do with acquiring wisdom and life skills in order to live a successful life.

In many cases, Watchtower does not interpret the Bible contextually (exegesis).

This verse in particular is taken out of context. It is simply about two paths of behavior an individual might take.

My Thanksgiving Tradition As One of Jehovah's Witnesses

by TMS in

the jw prohibition of celebrating holidays includes the american celebration of thanksgiving, a sort of innocuous harvest festival, where thanks is given for the year's blessings.

a typical family eats a large meal together, including turkey and all the trimmings.

in recent decades, nfl football, always involving the dallas cowboys and detroit lions, has become part of the routine, as well as drinking beer.. every year or so, the "awake!

When asked, I could never explain what was "pagan" about Thanksgiving or why it was "wrong".

My family also had some non-Thanksgiving Thanksgivings as well. The out was saying it wasn't Thanksgiving and they gave thanks every day.

jehovah's witness advisor.

leakinginfo: what can be done to find out who is leaking documents?.

According to the "faithful and discreet slave", there would be no pro-JW website but JW.org. They are going against the direction of "the slave".

What Percentage Of The Governing Body Are Pedofiles?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

the reason i ask this is because we heard reports that greenlees was kicked out of bethel because he was one and then we heard reports that another one, jaracz i believe was one all though it sounds kind of iffy to me.. 2 out of i don't how many total gb seems kind of high so i'm thinking that perhaps the percentage is quite higher as this would explain to a degree why the gb have written in clauses to keep the organization from reporting them to authorities.. it is true that part of the reason they remain silent to authorities is because of the reproach it brings to their precious corporation but i think that is only a small part of the reason and perhaps there might be a bigger reason maybe quite a few have been over powered by their darker side and have engaged in this behavior but because of denial and delusion they will not confess and willingly encourage cover ups.. just speculation i know but i'm starting to think that there is a very dark side to all of these guys hidden by their persona(jungian) that is making them stoop so low as to implement these very bad policies..

I believe Greenlees is the only one that can be confirmed. When asked, Watchtower will not deny this. One of his victims came forward a few years back.

Fifteen years later, I went to the UN in person.

by biblexaminer in

of all the things that the watchtower has done wrong, what would you say is the singular most powerful thing that you could point a jw to, to crack their eyes open?

what is the singular thing that can be expressed bluntly and conclusively that might shock a jw to their senses?

if you could only carry one arrow in your quiver on your way to war with watchtower, what would it be?.

Londo111

Good work, biblexaminer.

This issue has helped many to wake up.

Could this be the reason for one day assemblies

by Sour Grapes in

last saturday i sat through the one day assembly and i waited for the anticipated accounts report.

for one day the costs were $10,000.

even my wife questioned why the costs are so high and why don't they give a break down on the costs?

Londo111

I can't believe how guilty I used to feel when there was a deficit announcement. I regret every bit of money I ever gave Watchtower.
