  Maybe attendance was so low at their Kingdom Hall they decided to kidnap a few people and take them to their Hall for a meeting.

  A new level of "flirty-fishing."

  STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

  christian legal fellowship (clf) seems to have a new member.

  the jehovah’s witnesses aka the watchtower.the membership list does not seem to be public, but i am sure that with enough inquiries from the public -that clog the arteries of their email server- we can get at the truth.just like the watchtower affiliation with the un, it seems now the watchtower has affiliated with trinitarians.the clf brings legal action on behalf of the tower.. .

  I recognize what both posters are saying.

  John Davis is correct, and the OP does have a point in his own way.

  For me, the bigger question has not been asked:

  "Why is God's neutral organization involving itself in something that is PURELY a political matter.?" It would have been no different for Jesus to have joined in with the Jews protesting against Roman taxation.

  hello everyone, my wife wants nothing to do with my awakening.

  every time i try explaining something she tells me she doesn't want to hear it.

  i believe she's afraid of learning something she's not ready for.

  There is a high-ish plateau throughout 2013 - anything to do with the hoopla about the new 2013 revised bible and beamed in meetings from HQ?
  Then a drop followed by an all time peak at August 2014 - the big hoopla 100 years conventions - so might the traffic be to do with these?

  As well as this beauty: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/269218/will-this-memorial-our-last

  Well, I would say that this thread deserves a bump (these charts speak for themselves).

  Anyone from Germany here? I am curious if it just might be that they closed down a lot of foreign language congregations? They did that in the Netherlands before.

  The redditor is German, and speaks of resistance inside Bethel (love the terminology). He indicates the opposite - i.e. that foreign group numbers are being used to prop up the number of total congregations, while the reality is a decrease in regular congregations.

  JW Rumor: End of the Traveling Overseer

  by Edison Trent in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.

  they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.

  they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?

  the present and previous CO both to be regularly substituted by local circuit elders whilst they go off to do schools elsewhere. The current CO is leaving his assignment early to go and do schools in Ireland. On his recent visit he was not even present on the Saturday am field service as he had another assignment. No one other than the elders knew in advance as no doubt it would have affected attendance.

  This happened too in our hall. The CO was elsewhere. The substitute CO was a CO trainee. A young pioneer / elder with a pioneer wife. FROM OUR OWN HALL. They were both useless. Very bizarre experience.
