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.
I was just telling my wife, how all these things, we were taught, over and over, are now out the window! She got very upset with me over it : (
Even before I started opening my eyes, some of this crap, was getting to bug me! Countless hours of worthless studying, and trying to explain it all to others! Down the drain! I can heasr the flushing sound now!
i know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!
but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.
i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).
My elder brother in law, went to the LDC meeting, some months back. One of the things he heard was about how all the work at Warwick, was going to be of the very best quality! No corners would be cut! And that if you could not perform to those high standards, don't come!
What Topped that off was the statement, After all, don't Christ brothers deserve the Very Best, during their last days on earth?????
Seems to my, Christ did not even have a place to call home, nor to lay his head!
i have a customer who's son is a jehovah's witness.
he was disfellowshipped over a year ago.
this is the second time he's been disfellowshipped.
i was talking to my brother this morning.
last night at his meeting, they read a letter from their co. he talked about the earthquake.
he said that if some were moved to maybe take some vacation time, and go do volunteer work in napal.
so, as well reported, the latest jw broadcasting show is all about giving money.
as far as the wt society goes they have been pretty candid about there not being enough funds to meet the expenditure.
there are plenty of views on if this is really the case or not but underlying this is why are they spending so much money?.
My brother in laws KH, was closed by the co during his last visit. Old building, in very sad shape, and in a run down trashy area. They were told that they mist likely get a new KH, in a good safe location. Well Tuesday night, they found out, they will be getting a mild remodel. Fixing a mold problem, and refresh of the inside, nothing more. The parking lot is gravel and will stay that way!
As little will be spent as possible!

if you don't know what avvo is, it's a website run by professional lawyers on all subjects, you can ask them any question.
i am looking for all the old jim and tammy bakker, the jerry falwell and oral roberts videos to show you how the governing body is using their scripts, it's totally uncanny how copyright infringement of "begging for money from the poorest segments of society", their totally wicked!
As it turned out, all the money was pledged, with some very wealthy diner making the big pledged that put it over the top. OR lived many more years! But he never got all of the big pledged, because of some falling out between them!

this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.
alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.
however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.
You summed so much up!
Thank You!
