  the year 2005 has seen many thumbs down for the watchtower.. .

  in january they announced the awake!

  magazine would go monthly, beginning in 2006.. this past service year, the number of publishers in the united states may actually have gone down, according to latest km figures.. this month the society sued quotes for $100,000 claiming copyright infringement and embarassment.. reports have been circulating of po's trying to shut down jw sites on myspace.com.

  The congregation I seldom attend is filled with children of JWs that look as if they're forced to be there; a generation that belongs to education and technology, that dresses and thinks according to the times.

  The diehards of the WBTS are literally dying off and soon there'll be a new day for this organization. They'll have to make considerable changes in order to retain the masses or gain the interest of the outsiders.

  The WBTS is ultimately a religious business organization and, as they have in the past, they'll make any adjustments necessary to keep their fellowship.

  "Quotes" website owner-Radio Interview on the Net-Sept. 24, '05

  having grown up in a jehovah's witness family, { quotes } came to the realization that what he was being raised to believe, wasn't standing up to scrutiny.

  subsequently, he put together a fantastic website, simply showing primary resource material (stuff jw's say about themselves and their beliefs) then simply highlighted various points of interest... things to make you say "hmmm!

  The WBTS will go after any organization if they think by doing so they could get $$$.

  Afterall, it's not like they're paying legal fees!

  I only hope this site isn't next, or at least on their 'future' list.

  Do the Witnesses Still Go Door to Door?

  by tfsm in

  i have lived at my current address for approximately five years and i have not had any visits from the witnesses.

  i don't really want any but here's the deal: i left "the truth" about fifteen years ago.

  i wasn't disfellowshipped or anything and (since i moved to another state) it was a relatively clean break.

  They still go door-to-door. However, I've noticed a lack of enthusiasm in this regard lately.

  well, it's hard to believe, but i'm finally ready to go on my world travels that i've been planning for so long.

  seriously, i've been trying to get out of here since way back in my witness days, at least four or five years.

  finally, i've gotten everything lined up, all the loose ends tied - i am on my way.. i leave this thursday for my first leg: 3 months in japan!

  They dress very nicely to go to their meetings and out on service. Also, most drive very nice, well-kept cars.

  Those that apply the counsel given at the meetings keep very nice homes and yards.
