  Do You Think 10% Tithing is Coming?

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  firstly, there are cash flow problems in wt town.

  i don't think it's necessary to list all the cutbacks and layoffs, but there have been many.. their thirst for money seems higher too in my opinion.

  more entitled may be a better way of putting it.

  do you hink 10% tithing coming?

  NO.

  *** w75 6/1 p. 324 Millions Have Left the Churches—Should You? ***
  WHY DO THEY LEAVE?
  The reasons that people give for abandoning the churches are many and varied. Some in West Germany do it in order to be relieved of paying the church tax. More often, however, the reason involves changes in Roman Catholic teaching in recent years. These have confused many persons who thought that they had the true apostolic religion. As one Catholic priest in the United States put it: “If the things the Church has said in the last ten years are true, then everything it said for the last 2,000 years is false.”

  A lot of JWs have problems with all the changings and "new lights".
  Which JW can explain the new generation teaching?
  Thiting will be last nail in the coffin for some JWs.

  just received two emails .

  recently, it was announced that the warwick whq project will be completed by september 1, 2016. with a little less than 10 months left to go on the project, the construction project committee recently met with representatives from all eleven warwick construction groups throughout the u.s. the purpose of this meeting was to determine what can be done to more effectively continue the wonderful progress being made.

  as a result, it has been determined that, for the duration of the project, all warwick construction groups will focus on sending experienced, skilled tradespersons who have regularly worked in their trade(s)in a secular environment.

  ToesUp
  Didn't they have an article about Brothers/Sisters leaving their wives/husbands and families for a time period to go to work in another state or country? If I remember correctly, the branch did not speak favorably of a man/woman leaving her/his wife/husband and family to do this. I believe they insinuated that the brother or his wife may be put in a precarious situation while they were apart. As usual, if it is to benefit the WT, the same rules do not apply.
  HYPOCRITES!!

  Here it is - the study WT from April 2014:

  JW Religion same as Stock Market/Gambling (Concept)

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the last few days i was discussing with a colleague of mine at work about the stock market and how some people, even when losing money, they will hold onto their shares because someone said they will rise again.

  this may lead to lost opportunities or even losing all their money instead of de-risking and offsetting loses by buying another stock, in other word jumping ship.. this got me thinking about jws (knowing that i am still in).

  took one step back and looked at our family and what we have done by sticking to this religion.

  One brother in our congregation was setting his JW "stopp-loss" for the year 1975.

  He said: If there is no great tribulation until January the first of 1976 - I am out.

  He ist out since this date. He understood the stockmarket (great analogie Da.Furious)

  My main question is what advise can I give her that would give her JW grounds to get divorced with hopefully no repercussions.

  There is no ground for her under the described circumstances

  back in the years after ww2, newly discovered antimatter was perceived as destroying ordinary matter, so in one of old freddy's insane nightmares (forget which book, but it was the early 1950's) he envisioned yhwh-jesus hurling antimatter at the hated humans who refused to submit to him, and destroying their bodies bit by bit.. now, his vision dims:.

  antimatter not so different after all.

  Another one from 1971:

  *** kj chap. 20 p. 377 par. 22 Land of Magog No More to Threaten Mankind ***
  22 The fact that Jehovah leaves the bodies of those slain at the defeat of Gog’s attack lying exposed on the ground for birds and wild beasts to gorge themselves upon symbolizes that they will not be laid in respected memorial tombs in hope of a resurrection for them. The unburied dead, “those slain by Jehovah,” will be so enormously many that even the carrion birds and scavenging wild beasts could never take care of their consumption. The burial of even what remains after these lower creatures have their fill would be stupendous. Doubtless the Almighty God will use some highly scientific means, whether including antimatter or not, to dispose of the surplus of decaying bodies in a speedy and sanitary way. This remains for the survivors of the “war of the great day” to see and witness. We remember that Noah and his seven fellow survivors of the global Deluge were not burdened with burying the human victims of that world catastrophe after they came out of the ark and renewed Jehovah’s worship on earth.—Genesis 8:18-22.

  Here it is the snippet of the funny JW-message - of course supported by a cherrypicked Scripture. This old fun stuff puts a smile on my face

  *** w60 4/1 p. 219 par. 25 Part 35—“Your Will Be Done on Earth” ***
  25 Studies have been made of the effect of cosmic rays on living cells in animal bodies, particularly with respect to disorders of the mind. What effect do they have or will they have on the way men behave here on earth? Certainly the Creator of cosmic rays, Jehovah God, could use these to affect the minds of his enemies, including the king of the north and the king of the south, and could drive them to mutual slaughter: “every man’s sword shall be against his brother.” (Ezek. 38:21, AS) In this prophecy God warns that he will also use other natural forces that are at his disposal, possibly a rain of antimatter that has the property of annihilating any material thing that it meets. He warns all scoffers that he will do an ‘unusual work.’—Isa. 28:21.
