recently attended a special assembly day.. guest speaker was thomas chicky, a member of the us branch committee and the head of the us ldc (which has replaced the rbcs).. the last talk of the day is scheduled for an hour.
it was the usual boring mumbo-jumbo.
he appeared to have blasted through his hour-long outline in just about 45 minutes, so he "treated" us to informal comments on recent developments.. he commented on the new wt complex in fishkill ny.. then he dropped the bomb (well, to anyone with ears and at least 2 functioning synapses).. the following is not a word for quote, but presents the gist of his comments:.
$Hundreds of millions collected for the putative reason of a "desperate need for new Kingdom Halls". And now "oh, we won't be building much after all."
And no one, out of the 2000+ in attendance, even seemed to notice.
The WBT$ "JW Cattle"..
ARE HAPPY..
this is just mesmerizing.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq9gs-5lrkc.
i sometimes did work for a lovely old couple who at times needed repairs done around their home.
my wife and myself spent time with them, having tea and crackers from time to time.
one day the husband and myself got into a conversation and he clearly showed himself to be a holocaust denier.
Have you ever known a holocaust denier?
Yes..
How did you feel about them?
They weren`t very intelligent/educated about a lot of subjects..
So "Stupid" comes to mind..
wolves use their "loyalty" questions to trap others - "do you believe we're living in the last days/this is god's organization/faithful slave?
" - yet resolutely avoid discussing topics which put their org in a bad light, my "loyalty" question to them would be - "do you accept literature truth over bible truth?
" they will either run or be forced to ask for examples of alleged differences.any other suggestions for "loyalty" questions?.
"Do you accept literature truth over Bible truth?"
A JW would say..
Only the WBT$ is capable of translating the bible properly..
So there is no conflict unless you don`t accept the WBT$ interpretation..

a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,*+ standing before the throne and before the lamb, dressed in white robes;+ and there were palm branches in their hands.+ .
this great crowd, no man was able to number, and they come from every nation!
Simon scriptures straight out of the Bible is the best answers you can give.....A Believer

i figured i'd shut the site down for a couple of hours to encourage everyone to do their xmas shopping.
the error message was a subtle hint, that's what "500 error" means ... go shopping.. whatever rumours you hear, it definitely wasn't that someone deployed a quick update before going on a 1.5 hour car ride to pick someone up and didn't think that the page they tested, to check it was all working after the update, happened to be cached.
no siree bob, not that, na hah.. anyway, you're welcome for the extra chance to, erm, shop..
I was out shopping..
It all works out..LOL!!..
as you know (and are probably tired of hearing me repeat), i’m jewish.
yes, i was a jehovah’s witness when i was a teenager and into my 20s, but returned to my roots and now celebrate chanukah when the holiday season comes around each year.. so why am i writing about christmas?
well, that’s because i thought i would share something about how jehovah’s witnesses teach against christmas.
Why Jehovah's Witnesses are WRONG about Christmas
Santa Died For Your Sins!!

With all Your background, You don't really believe that, do You?.....TheOldHippie
many people are understandably upset and angry at the notion that jws have the right to shun people.
it seems such an obvious "no brainer" cruel and inhuman thing to do - it must be wrong ... surely?.
of course we look at things from the perspective of those hurt and harmed by shunning.
The right to shun - wrong?
Imposed shunning with the threat of a penalty,from a group/organization is criminal..
On the other hand
There`s more than a few people I want nothing to do with..
