Today, Postmedia announced job cuts and mergers http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/postmedia-job-cuts-1.3410497

What is of interest in Torstar's history is that in Oct 2012, they introduced a "paywall" for access to content online. However, this was a failure, and ended in Apr 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Star

As with most things, Watch Tower is about 5-10 years behind reality.

(We've sent out a whopping 6,000 missionaries over the last 70 years. Take that, Christendom!)

Pay-for-print went the way of the dodo 10 years ago.

Caleb and Sophia? What is this? The Looney Tunes era?

Televangelism? Of all the things. Seriously?

Ahh. But, we now have a website, with many pages in lots of obscure languages. OMFG, congratulations.

This is actually becoming fun to watch.

pdf.

thanks ich3b!.

berrygerry

That PDF should be sent to Rick Simons and Irwin Zalkin.

WT keeps trying to move towards the position that they have no involvement in the appointment of Elders and MS's.

New Converts: When Does It Start?

by Cold Steel in

johnny normal is watching television one day when he hears a knock at the door.

answering it he sees two jehovah's witnesses clutching bibles; and one a brief case.

over the next few months things are going well.

berrygerry

I was strong-armed into quitting my job (which I dearly loved, even to this day). This was about 6-8 months into "studying."

A friend was pressured into marrying someone he didn't really love (Jehovah will make it work).

Im sick of my life

sorry but i really feel like i need to rant right now.

recently my dad was made an elder so my family has been doing a lot more "theocratic" activities lately.

every morning i wake up and put on my itchy dress and stupid makeup and heels and then pretend that i love what i'm doing and that everybody is my friend when in reality i feel horrible and all the other teenage girls at my hall hate me for some reason.

berrygerry

I would contact social services and tell them how you feel.

Home-schooling is the worst thing for cult members.

You lose any sense of self.

Schools are not just to educate you intellectually, but to educate you socially.

Do not be afraid to talk to them. They can be terrific.

Elder School Video

by dontfitin in

friends

hope you guys can help me find something.

there was a video circulating about three years ago showing a sample judicial meeting, which basically ended up with the other elders slamming the one guy who was trying to be somewhat merciful.

of course the person was df'd.. my husband said at the meeting they actually had a talk saying that now the elders look for any reason not to df, etc.,etc.. i am trying to find that video.
