  Assembly Talks... Are these assigned based on the thickness of the envelope?

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from talking to several fading jws over the years, it really does appear that assembly talk assignments are usually given to those pos who consistently hand over the thickest envelopes to the co at the end of his week-long visits.

  if the envelope was too thin (or there was no enevelope at all), chances are that no one in that congo would get an assemby talk assighnment.

  also, if the co and his wife were treated well or taken to expensive restaurants during their visit, that apparently increased the po's chances of getting an assembly talk assignment.

Has anyone else heard of anything similar or have my observations been pure coincidence?

  how jehovah got his name

  by cameo-d in

  2. bible

  yahweh didn't get a name till moses come up with the "i am" thing.. not sure how it made it from i am to yahweh.

  and even crazier from yahwh to jehovah.. but anyway, my question is this: since god didn't have a name until "exodus" and if bible translaters say they are being accurate.... how come the name became retro-active and genesis gives god the name jehovah before he really has a name?.

  how can these translaters call this accurate?.

  Had it not been for Tyndale, the Dubs would be called Yawweh's Witnesses instead of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  It's no wonder why he's on the cover of this year's Memorial invitation.

  Anyone noticed a curiosity on the Memorial Invitation for 2013 ?

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't scan the memorial invitation for 2013, but i was looking at it today and noticed something curious on the front drawing.. we have jesus as the central figure of the composition.

  to his right and bottom, a large crown, in colour, of shiny happy people of diverse origins.. separated from this by the figure of jesus, is another group, a much smaller one, on the left and as if ascending to the top, and grayed.. clearly portrayed in this group is the face of ct russell and apparently william tyndale.

  but then, also sarah and abraham and other personalities of the ot seem to be represented there.

  William Tyndale, a known freemason, also made the cut...

  Source of Direct Contribution for Rutherford's House, Beth Sarim

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this is a question i have had for over 13 years, since i first found out that rutherford had a house, named beth sarim, built for him in san diego.

  where did the money come from for the 100 acres of land the house was situated upon, and for the design and construction of the house?

  in the proclaimer's book, it is said that a "direct contribution" was made for the house.

  JANUARY 15TH 2013 STUDY EDITION. ???????????????

  i have been skimming the magazine this morning, and the whole issue seems designed to keep the flock at the kh.

  yes, i know this is not exactly " new " information.

  still with all the problems the organization is having, this one just seemed to strike me as odd.

  Jehovah will be with you in the months ahead...

  Sounds like the GB 2.0 had a meeting recently to discuss the recent decline in productivity and decided to create an ambiguous motivational slogan to keep the dubs awake... notice how they didn't say "years ahead"...

  Update on this lawsuit filed in 2005 (almost 8 years ago)...

  It's been over 2 years since a federal appeals court in Boston finally ruled that all congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Puerto Rico may freely enter any gated community to peddle their literature and spread their teachings.

  However, not much has changed. I live in a gated community in Puerto Rico and have confirmed that NO JW has even approached the front gate. Most of my co-workers also live in other gated communities and tell me the same thing. Wait... there is one exception... they have been in my neighborhood about 3 times in the past 10 years to hand out memorial invitations (and that was because an elder lives in my neighborhood).

  So all this fuss about winning a judgement 2 years ago was just a brief marketing event that left the situation in Puerto Rico pretty much status quo...
