once a month about 15 to 20 elderly jw publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view jw broadcasting.
these publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet.
they are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.
I remember back in the 60's carrying a booklet published by the WTBTS that was to be used to teach people how to read so they could understand the bible.
Yea, those days are goneeee! Today's Watchtower is about Donations and Volunteering in Real Estate projects.

These publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long –time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet. They are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.
Last night they announce in my old hall that the brothers would not be assigning anyone anymore to show JW broadcasting and so, it was the responsibility of these elderly ones to get the internet and take classes and learn how to use it to view JW Broadcasting.
A couple of the elderly sisters who are widowed were crying because they felt they were being left behind by Jehovah. A couple of the elders sat the sisters down and told them that Abraham was over a hundred years old when he had to raise a child and he did not cry about it. They were told that they were lacking in faith and they needed to correct that.
After the lecture, the elders asked the elderly sisters if they could make some meals for the pioneers during the pioneer school. They gave them a list, turkey the first day and a Roast the next day.
My mom who was telling me about it was very upset. I told her, “Mom, don’t feel bad, wasn’t it the other way around during Jesus‘s time? Jesus the real pioneer, provided a meal for 5,000 men women and children who were not pioneering. So if they really want to imitate Jesus, then the pioneers should provide meals for you and all your elderly friends.”
She was furious. Today she called one of the elders and told him she could not provide any more meals, -- to get someone else to cook. For the first time she has refused to provide a meal to the pioneers. She said she will never do it again.
She is finally starting to see the hypocrisy and lack of love.
Are the Kingdom Halls cancelling showing JW Broadcasting at the Kingdom Hall?
similar views as those presented here are gaining in popularity in christian circles.

It looks like Michael Jackson;
may be some of you will be shocked by this question.
however, when i was studying the bible with critical eyes i detected that paul ( or saul of tarsus) misquoted the hebrew bible in order to get false support for his arguments.
of course, this tricky kind of use of the "scriptures" was not only used by him, but others, like the author of the gospel of matthew got unsupported doctrines misquoting verses.
All the books in the NT written by Paul are based one ONE vision he had where Jesus talked to him.
How many people today would follow ONE person who claimed he had ONE vision where Jesus talked to him?
I wonder if there was even a Paul, or were all the stories about him just Fairy tales like the tales of Hercules?
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.

Since 2000, with the restructuring, it is a huge black box. GB 2.0 seem less in charge than GB 1.0. At a circuit assembly, I remember Splane saying that Watchtower won't pick him up for the airport if he is not dressed in a suit.
Man who's really running the show???

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.
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.

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!!!!!!
