  No More Money!

  by Hold Me-Thrill Me in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as of this june (i've already given my may contributions which are substantial) i am no longer giving money to support useless building projects that serve no good purpose.

  i am no longer giving money at conventions or assemblies.

  i am no longer giving money toward the circuit overseers upkeep.

  Hold Me-Thrill Me

  I will, though, continue giving money to those in the congregation who are in need. To widows who are in financial difficulty, to brothers and sisters who have lost their job or who can only find part time work.

  I have done the same long time.

  But think about this:

  If I give my money to a JW - he always give a big thank you to JHWH in his prayers.

  He always thinks, JHWH gave him the money.

  So for me it makes no longer sense to give my money to a JW.

  Maybe he will blame JHWH for having not enough money.

  Just my 2 cents.

  Possibly a great question to ask JW's since this last week's WT.

  so since the type anti-type doctrine has been dropped 'does this mean peter was right when at luke 12 :41 he said the faithful and discreet slave was just a parable?

  '

  Conversation, if I would ask this my elderly mother:

  MOTHER: "Have you asked your elders about this?"

  ME: Yes, but they have no satisfying answer.

  MOTHER: "So you must have a deeper bible-study!"

  ME: I have all this questions, because I studied the last years already too deep.

  MOTHER: "You should not study the "old" publications. Ask your elders for a bible-study!"

  ME: confused

  New arrangement from C.O.

  by Doctor Who in

  2. beliefs

  i think most on here will be familiar with the caller hook up system that many congregations use.

  visit about 2 months ago.

  during our servant and elders meeting he was talking up the importance of meeting attendance and how we "gods spirit appointed men" must take the lead on making every meeting.

  In my "old" KH one elder checked every number tied in. If he don't know the number (person) - he called them afterwards to check - who it is. CONTROL-FREAKs.

  Miss Behaving

  Thanks for your introducion. A friend of mine is in a simular situation.

  No help - no love from JW-people.
  All the love, understanding and help (including financial help) is coming from non JWs or fading people like me.

  He is in his twenties and going to school again - the best decision he could make.

  I'm "inactive" (JWspeak) - because of all the hard facts on JWfacts.

  Keep on reading & learning - and let us know about your progress.

  A warm welcome from (with a big smile) a "lost sheep" in Europe :-)

  Why doe New light tick me off???? Next 2 weeks WT Studies

  by zophar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.

  remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?

  anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.

  "New" publications

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  looks like two "new" publications are available on their website.

  i put "new" in quotation marks because these appear to simply be the introduction in their rnwt in one and the appendices, maps, charts, etc.

  publications named "an introduction to god's word" and "a study guide for god's word".

  Yes.

  Since other countries have the RNWT not in their language, they became in 2014 these 2 little books. Now they are also available in english.

  Here are download links - where you can see the languages with the RNWT (PDF):

  German Branch visit talk Mark Sanderson (Parents; don't hinder young children to get baptized)

  by Daniel1555 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the video streaming of the german branch visit program was excrutiating 3.5 hours long.. i just went to see the last 45 min (part of mark sandersons talk).. i think sanderson is quite a sympathetic speaker and he kind of made a loving impression.. he didn't mention controversial stuff (except for one thing i will come to soon).

  he mostly talked about how to find joy, even when life is not easy, and how much the gb loves the rank and file.. one point seemed soooo important to him.

  parents and children.

  This will serve to emphasize the importance of following the directions the faithful slave is providing concerning proper decorum at conventions.—1 Tim. 3:15

  (1 Timothy 3:15) . . ., that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in God’s household,. . 

  In persecution every JW would die for his brother/sisters.

  On conventions every JW would beat/kill his brother/sisters for the best seat.

  
  

  They have always to be reminded:

  (John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”
