  On a more lighter note.

  Social networking is totally ok.

  Playing wordly music by rap artists in the KH and Bethel is totally acceptable.

  Having kingdom hall parties and putting them on you tube not a problem either.

  cedars mentions it in his lasted video on youtube.

  lett says that all the money that was made from selling the sites in new york city is all going to pay for warwick.

  as cedars points out that according to independent sources they sold the properties for over a billion dollars.

  True they are flush with money. However I believe the real issue now is long term solvency, and this is where the money is going.

  What I used to do was to sit alone in an area where no body knew me. Soon as the session starts take a bible and a folder out to make out you have an assignment. Then just walk out the door and go into town. 10 mins before the session ends arrive back and no one will know your gone. But now I just don't go at all.

  May JW Broadcasting Video about the Money Problems

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the video, they repeatedly talk about these big ugly misunderstandings that have taken place between the circuit overseers and the elders,, at least partially, leading to their current money problems fiasco.. if the governing body were intentionally lying, wouldn't they lie to make themselves and their elders look better, instead of worse?.

  what would the motive be for them to tell everyone about these big misunderstandings?.

  Like I've said in other threads here. The GB should of (at the very least) been more clearer in how the new funding arrangement was going to work. By telling the R&F that the loans had been cancelled when in fact they hadn't been has given the impression that their financial situation is stable. I believe at the moment Wt is a flush with money. This is not the issue but long term solvency is, and i believe this is what the money is been used for.

  Do You Remember The Days When The Society Would Say Everything Pictured Something About Them?😇

  by minimus in

  when you look at the society's literature, it is pretty comical to see how important they believed they were.

  it seems to be not as bad under the new regime but they certainly believe they are a special people.

  lol

  Even when I was fully indoctrinated I never completely bought into the trumpet blast, cedar point Ohio, enthroned in 1914. Now I know I had good reason not to.

  A funny moment... lol

  when the rnwt was released, we were invited to go to the local assembly hall.. there was a sister right next to me and she started bragging that it was her 8th year in an annual meeting.

  (typical thing, all spiritual).

  when was time to sing, i listened to her beautiful voice.

  It's was the COs visit. The guy was a right dick and I didn't really like him. Anyway there was this beam of light flowing through the window that i was able to reflect off my watch straight into the COs face while he was on the stage. Ok it was perhaps childish but was funny at the same time.

  Strange but Sad!

  i had a couple of elders come visit me about an hour ago.

  they wanted to inform me that a brother who was well known throughout the circuit had died.

  (i actually knew about it but did not go to the funeral) he was about to hit 90 years old, missed it by a few weeks.

  It's examples like this that will be the reason why doing away with the shunning policy is just not an option now.

  Did judge Rutherford piss off Hitler

  by greenhornet in

  2. scandals

  the jws at the time in germany where considered part of the aryan race, (since they were not jews).

  then things changed for the jws after rutherford mailed a letter to hitler bragging about jehovahs kingdom on earth.. so can we add this to the bloodshed that that the watchtower corp is responsible for?.

  To My JW Brothers and Sisters

  by Hold Me-Thrill Me in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to all brothers and sisters reading this site: "and i love you so" (remember the don mclean song?

  )...is the feeling most of us had with regard to the watchtower and the brothers leading it.

  but truly, who did we get baptized for?

  Frank the issue I have is not so much human imperfection and mistakes been made. The issue I have is one of accountability, openness and transparency. Which I believe Wt displays none of it. This has always been and will always be the case.
