  Is the term "worldly" outdated?

  by A.proclaimer in

  yesterday i had to listen to the co from a spanish congregation on the phone.

  he said the fds has been gradually moving away from the word "worldly" and teaching jws not to use the term anymore.

  has anyone heard this in their congregation or heard the term "non-believers" used before?

  1914, leap years, and sticky math situation

  360 days x 2520 years = 907,200 days.

  365.25 days x 2520 years = 920,430 days.

  920,430 days - 907,200 days = 13,230 days in difference .

  this is from the iglesia ni cristo, another jw-like religion.

  they even boast about growing numbers and having missionaries in other countries.

  the only thing is they made it to the yahoo!

  "Sets over the lowliest of men" examples?

  by A.proclaimer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm looking for some good examples from the bible where men of high positions have been brought down and ones of low have been raised.

  it's mentioned in daniel 4: 17, luke 1:52, ezekiel 21:26 and other texts.

  jws interpret daniel 4:17 as a reference to jesus to back up the 1914 doctrine, so i'm looking for examples to give an alternate to that..

  Congregation rebels!

  my congregation got a reminder today to start donating money.

  elder said that after the letter on the new donation arrangement was read, the contributions for that fund went from the average (i believe it was $500 or so) to $0.

  after that reminder, cash was put into those boxes.

  Wrong Memorial address

  by A.proclaimer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because it was the memorial today (yesterday for some of you around the world), i remembered something that happened last year at my now current congregation.

  it was around the time of the campaign where the invites were being released.

  now keep in mind that this is a congregation that's in a foreign language and the people who speak this language are scattered all over the city so the territory is very large and takes time to cover.

  One day Assemblies and the removal of the RBC

  by A.proclaimer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i was at a jw gathering today, and i over heard a brother telling a sister about these new changes.

  according to him, both one day circuit assemblies will be put together on the same weekend, one on saturday, the next on sunday.

  that way the assembly halls could be used to fit in more circuits as they increase in numbers.
