Dwindling Attendance? Here's a quick fix!....

by Tech49 in

jw
friends

so here's a real life experience you will get a kick out of.. our kh has about 90 publishers.

typical meeting attendance during a co visit is right at 100 or so.

the rest of the time, attendance is a dismal 50-60, sometimes 70 on a good week!.

Monsieur

Wow...well, u cant blame them for not trying.lol

Something tells me 1914...

by Monsieur in

after todays watchtower lesson, and the lessons coming, something tells me bigger and bigger new understandings are coming.

and that it will culminate with 1914. notice how jesus is now coming, and no longer already here.

the current understanding is both, he is here and hes also coming.

Can anybody post the current understanding? If I recall theres actually three ways combined that Jesus is here and also coming. This might not be an issue except that the wt appears to be aluding more to a future event as opposed to a present one, why?? Why not call the future event just armageddon? Why confuse it with a present event, rather past, event? I thought it was very telling that jesus coming very soon was included in yesterday's study...

by OneFingerSalute in

"how do you feel about refined understanding?".

some of the comments were:.

Monsieur

Folks kept saying how they obeyed the old light despite it not making any sense.

What??

Exactly magnum,

A convoluted mess...I don't know how it is explained on the jw app, but I take it there is a reason its a long video...something so fundamental needs to be much easier explained.

Pathetic manipulation at the Zone Visit to the Mexico Branch (Central America)

by avaddohn94 in

jw

gb helper robert luccioni paid a visit to the branch that oversees mexico and central america and, you can probably imagine all the "excitement" among the witnesses who were tied in via internet.. this time they really emphasized that none of the information that was shared during such a "magnificent" event was to be posted on social media.

the fact that they are becoming more secretive should alert anyone about the dangers posed by cult-like religions but, truth be told, that is a very difficult thing to understand from within.. still, this picture might be of help!

in the end, luccioni's objective as representative of the governing body was very clear: money!

Monsieur

Holy cow...

Letter to a DF Parent

by thedepressedsoul in

thank you for raising me in this religion, this religion that when people get disfellowshipped you have to cut off all communication, even family.

thank you for making sure all of my friends, work partners, family and 99% of my life was centered around this organization.

thank you for taking the time to study with me, read the bible, making me excluded from all school activities and friends so that my whole social life was surrounded by jw.

Monsieur

Da troof...ur hilarious dd.

Am I a Luciferian??

by freemindfade in

so my uncle wrote me a long letter out of concern, it was filled with bit of love and concern here and there but also a lot of staunch dogmatic and at times down right disturbing thoughts and assumptions.

if you doubt the bible or jw.org, seems even close family feels you are on a one way track to death by godville.

anyway, he accused me of being a luciferian.

Monsieur

Yes, once the concept of god vs devil is eliminated from your mind, luciferianism is just a word, nothing more, nothing less.

It can however be used to scare uneducated people...just go online to read how many americans believe the u.s. founding fathers were devil worshipers...
