  Employment Rules in the Watchtower Organization.

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a jehovah witness teacher is allowed to teach nonreligious subjects in a school owned by a religious organization but,.

  is not allowed to teach the same subject in a school funded or directed by the military..

  since the watchtower views all religious organizations as part of babylon the great who had gods disfavor and would be destroyed at armageddon, no elder including some members of the gb could explain this policy of employment.isocf pg 401.

  At least up until 1980, rules were designed by committee and only overturned by a 2/3 majority.

  So who does all the rules on employment today?

  I never got this one....a Brother or sister CAN NOT do electrical work, plumbing work or construction, etc. on a Church. They are not supposed to even enter a church for a function but the WBTS will sell a Kingdom Hall to a church. WTF?

  HYPOCRITES!!!

  Yea, that one drove me crazy for years. It wasn't until I learn ttatt that everything fell in place.

  People should learn more about the Bible flaws

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have noted that the main problem for those who are seduced by the watchtower society is their ignorance about the bible itself.

  people who believe that the bible is the word of god usually ignore the studies on textual criticism and how scientific criteria forbid absurd stories like that of the global flood.

  so, i strongly believe that students in schools need at least an obligatory course on "the bible" through the point of view of science and the textual criticism.

  "how-to-think-with-your-brain" lessons for later in life, like the university system. Primary education for youths today is more of telling people WHAT to learn instead of teaching them HOW to learn.

  And people need to stop listening to Fundamentalist Christians and JWs about archeology backing up the Bible.

  So basically, JW and Fundamentalist are like children who think they can teach.

  A Jehovah Witness teacher is allowed to teach nonreligious subjects in a school owned by a religious organization but,

  Is not allowed to teach the same subject in a school funded or directed by the military.

  Since the Watchtower views all religious Organizations as part of Babylon the Great who had God’s disfavor and would be destroyed at Armageddon, no elder including some members of the GB could explain this policy of employment.ISOCF PG 401
  

  Why could the JW teacher teach in a school owned by a religious organization but not teach in a school directed by the military?-----Anyone?
  

  A Jehovah Witnesses construction contractor could remodel a group of churches but,

  could not remodel a "Single" church.

  What!!!!!!

  If I sent you a PM, would you publish it without my permission?

  
  

  That's funny. How many times did elders reveal confidential information to their wives, children, friends, and even non-jws. I can't even count them. I'm still hearing to this day from elders who the latest sister is that had a threesome, the latest brother who hired a prostitute, the latest wife who was caught on the website, "Do you want to have an Affair" And I've been inactive for almost 2 years---LOL!

  We are adults and should know by now that if we want to keep something secret, then don't tell anyone. If we reveal to someone something that we don't want known and it later comes out one way or another, then we only have only ourselves to blame. It's human nature to share things with others.

  If you don't want others to know, take it to the grave.

  What happened to the six month rule about if they don't progress that the study should be stopped, this was back in the early 80's

  That depends on the publisher, A bible study who gives you cookies and milk and you can avoid door the door in the heat , cold, rain, or snow, why would you even tell the elders you've been studying with this person for 20 years!

  Could it be these people who are forever studying have little social interaction and enjoy having an excuse to get dressed up for and enjoy being the center of people's attention?

  
  

  Yes, I believe you hit the nail smack center.

  I think I got the record on that. My wife and I studied with a lady 33 years ago and she attended most of the meetings and the memorial all these years. She finally got baptized this year. Holy F*** I have no idea why!

  Well strange things has happen.

  Totally agree James, I bet all the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki never imagine that on that memorial day of August 1945- thousands upon thousands would be wiped out in less than a minute by atomic bombs.

  Trump would be crazy enough to do that without asking anyone for permission. He used the term "I do what I want, that's why I am so Successful"
