yep, taps out, throws in the towel, waves the white flag!
in today's watchtower it basically said don't expect any results due to widespread apathy and opposition.
but you can still bear fruit just by going through the motions of being regular in field service.
It's all about control, and keeping the flock busy!
Just like when you're on a long car trip with young children. In order to keep them from going crazy, we create games like "let's see who can count the most amount of yellow cars" or something inane like that.
It simply keeps them occupied and interested.
No different to the "spiritual activities" that the GB have the flock do.

Nice article.
Thanks for sharing!
study article for october: speaking the truth.
the article is about lying, but the wt is all about lying.
i guess they are concerned with their followers lying to them!.
Fantastic thread DoFP!
Very well put.
The hypocrisy and duplicity of the GB can now be defined as BRAZEN.
i was watching lloyd evans rebuttal to the saturday program of the be courageous convention.
lloyd pointed out something that had occurred to me as well:.
all this talk and examples of courage, whether it be standing up in class defending intelligent design, putting up with being imprisoned, not running away from bullies, always having a reply to someone who tries to ridicule your faith... the young ones are encourages - nay, commanded - to stand their ground and be courageous.
BRILLIANT thread PE!
Thank you for sharing this.
They are indeed hypocritical, cowardly scumbags!
wow!.
so as many of us know, alex o'connor (cosmicskeptic) did a great video a few years back in response to the appallingly homophobic caleb and sophia cartoon!.
he gets a lot of views for his videos, but this one has more than any other presentation by him!
Ah jwundubbed....where did your mind go??
just curious.. when you started to wake up to the truth about the truth, did the shock and the whole experience distract you from your usual activities such as performing at your place of work?.
did you become so consumed by researching, and the subsequent factual discoveries, that it affected your ability to carry out daily tasks?.
Thanks for the comments everyone!
John Free, your definition is great!! PCSD
Post Cult Stress Disorder . Brilliant
how does the watchtower dispose of kingdom halls no longer usable because of poor attendance and or merging with another kingdom hall.the rank and file contributed lots of money to keep it active.. then they tell us their not using it anymore.where does the money for that hall go.
and what they do with the money they get for the sale of that property.
they certainly don't give the rank and file anything.. and what use will the new owners use it for.
Great article Lost In The Fog! Thanks for that newspaper link.
That will be the first time that building has ever contributed to the welfare of people in a positive manner!
Thats a great find OrphanCrow!
Can you start a new thread just on that video please?
It deserves to be featured.
in 2 weeks we will be announcing major changes in northern ohio congregations and there is quite the buzz in the area about it.
just talked to a jdub from the detroit area that just underwent similar changes, and they mentioned it has been "quite exciting" to get to meet new brothers and sisters.
so besides the cash benefit of selling a couple kingdom halls in the process.
These khall amalgamations will also make many in the congs upset, as they will miss their friends etc...
Thats a good thing! Sow a little discontent, and it will allow them to slip into a bit of negativity and then a bit of research online...and then they may learn something...
please check out this thread from exjw reddit: .

any thoughts?.
Yes Millie, I started a thread on that. I think the Mormons call their cartoon kids "Matt and Mandy"
