i wefer to my pwevious fred http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/280829/2/i-saw-a-trolley-cart-to-you-cousins-in-the-u-s-a.
if the wbt$ is losing money and drones then why so much apathy surrounding the trolley/cart?.
why are they not being more pro-active with this 'urgent, never to be repeated work(tm)?'.
1) they need busywork for current members, but recruiting has ended anyhow, no new members from "the field"
2) going house by house, they may be exposed to deprogramming attempts by householders and exposed to "external thinking"
3) they need to keep them together and in public places. basically same idea that in point (2)
is it true there is a 10 year rule?
i was reading on here when i saw someone quote it?
i've never heard of it before!.
You mean that after 10 years one can start from a clean page and become a Jw again, without reinstatement?
There's no such rule and if there was, it would not matter anyways, as this would only go for those who still appear brainwashed. No apostate can go back just to wreck the system from within.
i just compared the latest data provided by the german wt and data i found searching for the same page in archive.org.
congregations 2011: 2232. congregations 2014: 2210. kh 2011: 1075. kh 2014: 1034. source: http://www.jehovaszeugen.de/statistik.18.0.html - this is a oficial site for germany.

* Wonder what happened to the people in those halls?
* What did they DO with all the halls that they don't have anymore?
* Old ones died, no new youngs coming up. Also, quite some learned TTATT and buzzed the fxxx off.
* Well they did not donate them to the Salvation Army. Hint: maybe compare to new McDonalds restaurants opened in Germany 2011-2014 :)
i created the subtitles.. .

we all know he's evading the question by talking about those who somehow avoid the baptizm, but it really does not matter.
There's another side to it. Veikko still lies outright, because a religious rite (baptism in this case) involving a minor child has absolutely no importance in this matter. While a child is under legal age, his/her parents decide and bare responsibility for such actions taken.
So the fact is that most of the 18-olds leaving get shunned and that's it. Veikko was not asked if there are any corner cases, so he answered the whole question and all in all, lied.

i heard something about the memorial to cease soon.
not anything to do with jesus returning but rather that the number of folks partaking is increasing and the gb can't explain it since it should be decreasing or staying the same.. has anyone heard of this?

One main quality of mind control systems is status quo. You can't make radical changes (which does not mean that you can't make sneaky ones all the time).
That's what's happening even with the communist regimes. They die sooner or later, because they can't change. For example, the USSR could have not transitioned to multiple party system and capitalism, as it would have been the end of it. And as single-party and socialism was not possible either, then, well, it was just the end of it.
the topics i create just dissapear and i can see no "edit profile" or "settings" anywhere.
any hints?.
.
Thanks. I pretty much got my answers, including that the other topics that I created were censored due to mentioning a certain thing that I can't mention
I would still fancy a solution that would let me edit my profile though.
i believe that the older you are the harder it is to leave the watchtower.. .
i am attempting to get a list of ages people learnt the "truth" and what age they left.. .
uun.
