  why does watchtower say that the 'world-wide preaching work' occurs in x amount of lands, not countries?

  well, i have a theory.

  hear me out.

  "Lands" sounds more fairytale.

  Once upon a time, far far away, Jehovah the evil King of Witness Land forced all his subjects to go out from among themselves and capture more slaves for him from all the surrounding lands......

  "Forced" study with an Elder - The first question i will pose, help appreciated.

  hello folks.

  as some of you might know my dad couldnt keep quiet about my view of the world, so i have been "forced" to study with an elder.

  otherwise i would be dragged to questioning, which is to much pressure for a young inexperienced person like me.

  And in normal circumstances I would say that honesty is the best policy but JWs don't respond to honesty like "normal" people you may be opening yourself up to years of heartache.

  Your decision, but play your cards wisely and at the moment if you are awake and they are not then in one way, technically you have all the cards.

  (Difficult I know) but have you considered just playing along with their delusion by saying what they want to hear and doing a bare minimum until you can leave home?

  @careful - if they were "running scared" in the 80s then now with the internet "speeding up the work" (lol) of waking people up they must be sh***ing themselves - I hope anyway.

  They must really be getting worried. While they have always used the "imperfect men" excuse there seems to be a tinge of desperation to it now - or is that my wishful thinking ?

  Even if people have no exposure to apostate activism they are still waking up all on their own, WT has to be aware of this trend.

  Also, are there even more skeletons in the WT's closet than the stuff like the child abuse, financial schemes, UN etc that we know or suspect?
