they started out with a $3,500 carry-over but by the end of the day they were short $25,000.
the speaker eloquently beseeched the audience to go the atm machines and give their generous contribution or at least their widow's mite.
after the sessions were over, our friend who attended walked from one end of the assembly hall and then to the other end and noticed long lines up to both machines with people who couldn't wait to run up their credit cards.
This is an opportunity to feel extra virtuous by being seen standing in a long line to make a contribution at the ATM.
I'm curious if they announced at the end of the assembly if they had received the $25k they were looking for.....Pete Zahut
WatchTower can count on Gullible JW`s, for as much cash as they want..
.......
WATCHTOWER ATM..
today at the service group the elder leading couldn't figure out which was which.
he was trying to convince us that the memorial was at the new moon.

Elder doesn't know difference between new moon and full moon
1.there are times when a doctor decides that the only life saving medical treatment -short of a miracle- is a blood transfusion.
in such a case, what should be done when a person refuses treatment on religious grounds and why?.
2. should a person be allowed to "mutilate" his body and why?.

It is legal for people to tatoo their faces and bodies from head to toe, cut off parts of their tongue, "sex changes", pierce their entire bodies bodies in a gruesome manet and more less do whatever they like to their bodies left to the imagination......Fisherman
If people want tattoo's or piercings, it`s none of your business..
Why the big concern?
You don`t mind the disgusting things Watchtower does, as long as it`s legal..
last night i had jw broadcasting on in the background while i was working, i like to keep up to date with their crap.
which is strange because when i actually was a jw i hated reading or watching their material.. anyway, on the streaming section, anthony morris comes on screen telling me that higher education is bad and "the better the university, the greater the danger".
i never would have believed it if i hadn't seen him say it myself.
Anthony Morris comes on screen telling me
"We wont need doctors or lawyers after armageddon, but we WILL need carpenters and plumbers!!".

Everyone Will Buy Real Estate From Watchtower!

with so many aging bethelites being "laid off" after years of volunteer service, what hope do they have of collecting any social security retirement?
i ask because i recently learned that my mother will not receive any government retirement benefits because she did not work enough to collect the 40 credits required.
this got me to thinking about bethel volunteers.
Are these volunteers just SOL?
Yep..
.......
WatchTower`s JW Retirement Plan..
i really don't know what to expect of this.
they are being labelled extremists in russia and are close to being banned.
so the show that they aren't extremists they encourage all jw's worldwide to bombard the kremlin and court with millions on letters..
Letter-writing is IMO quite brilliant as it makes it very personal to those who write these letters, the letters can be read on assemblies, and it makes it seem like JWs care more about other JWs than anyone else......bohm
The fact that they all waited until HQ gave the signal just shows that they are under thought control.....JW_Rogue
The fact that they all waited until HQ gave the signal shows.
1)..JW`s care more about WatchTower, than Fellow JW`s..
Not even JW Family or Friends are as important as WatchTower to JW`s
2)..
Nothing happens in WatchTower World without..
WatchTowers Stamp of Approval.
i've seen this in a few posts and not sure what it means.
:) please help..
What does CLAM stand for?

if a man takes a false step before he is aware of it, you who have spiritual qualifications try to readjust such a man in a spirit of mildness.—gal.
kindness can help you to deal with a conflict of loyalties.
you may have definite knowledge that a certain fellow believer is guilty of serious misconduct.
Urge your friend or relative to seek the help of the elders. If he or she does not do so within a reasonable period of time, loyalty to God should move you to report the matter to the elders.
jerome over on discuss the truth has picked up on something interesting.. in the july watchtower on page 28 of the article entitled “winning the battle for your mind” the following statement is made “keep in mind that satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well.
because propaganda is likely to be most effective, says one source, if people… are discouraged from thinking critically.”.
the quote comes from a book entitled: “media and society in the twentieth century: a historical introduction by lyn gorman, david mclean" the watchtower however, chose to leave out a portion of the quote.. the full quote is "therefore, it is likely to be most effective if people do not have access to multiple sources of information and if they are discouraged from thinking critically.. the following sentence which the watchtower also decided was best not to include states,.
July's watchtower leaves out some important info from a quote!
"all people in the world are currently considered enemies of god" gee i wonder where some poeple get the idea that we are an extremist organization.. " jehovahs chariot is moving forward at blazing speed!
" in what reality is contraction and downsizing moving forward?.
"it used to be that if a congregation reached 150 publishers we would split into 2 congregations now if we have 2 congs.
" jehovahs chariot is moving forward at blazing speed!"
