last circuit assembly there was 700+ present and 1 baptized.. recently there was a foreign language assemble of over 500 and 1 baptized.. in the last 5-10 years i haven't been to one assembly where there has been more than a handful baptized.
at the memorial all i see are the same old faces that have been coming since the flood.. the hall complex i attend has 6 congregation and several groups-there is negative growth.
when you factor in the demographically aging folk and the many who have already passed away, i don't know where they get the 8 million.. i know that most of the growth is from the developing countries, but still i think they are fudging their numbers.
I am with you....i think they fudge the numbers. unfortunately i still have to go...but rest assured. me and my boys are mentally out.
anywho.....it would say the average number at the hall my wife goes to is ~35 zombies and of those.....i would say that the majority are over 60 yrs old. (poor lost souls)
i just don't get where they get there numbers from
i found this picture and i just can't believe it?

today i read a news topic about the pope in the us.
of course, we were all indoctrinated that the pope is the devil himself.
but, did you see a gb member or a local wts official ever giving attention to a paralyzed witness?
i saw one of the guardians at an assembly over the summer. we were leaving and walking through the floor. he walked by with his posie. i turned to my wife and said....look he's just like a rock star and laughed. she didn't think i was to funny.
although she didn't try and join the posie. if she would have, i would have just left her there and went my way.
i truely hate this cult.
i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.
she is on morphine and hanging on.
she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.
I am truely sorry minimus...i wish her a safe journey to the next plane where her questions will be answered.
Jesus is forgiving and life continues. just like the criminal next to jesus on the cross, his spirit did not die. but, it contuinue to paradise and so will your mom.
peace
i would like to welcome any new lurkers or member to the site that will open you eyes to ttatt!.
it will hurt at first....but when you learn the truth about the truth.
it feels like you have been lied to by someone you trusted with all your heart.

It will hurt at first....but when you learn the truth about the truth. it feels like you have been lied to by someone you trusted with all your heart. but, once you get over the intial shock....you will be comforted in knowing that know you could live your life has a free person.
what is happening right now with the ORG is just the beginning of the fall of this false cult.
with the all the changes in the ORG and the pedophile harboring....more will come out. the crack in the dam will get bigger and bigger.
so welcome all you thirsty ones....you will find refreshment here.
could the stopping of construction be just another ruse to squeeze money from the rank and file?.
it will certainly generate buzz like nothing else..
in reality, the WTBTS is a large corp. They started a project or projects with the money they thought they had or figured they would have.
along the line they realized that they were in over there head. probably in the areas listed below:
1. quality of employees: ( meaning, you cant build complex large structures with volunteer employees...its not a quick build)
2. after realizing they need real worker who need to be paid real money....they realize the cost of the project has just went from $1500.00 sq/ft to $20,000.00 sq/ft
3. the money that thought they had is not there...probably to a down turn in the market and all the investments they had just did not perform like they wanted.
4. People who handle there money also taking the money for themselves. i.e. loosing millions.
it happens all the time..on a small scale you could compare it to pro ball players who get these 200 to 300 million dollar contracts and end up broke.
why? like i said....bad investments, accountants stealing money and overall no education on how to handle all that money.
according to the 2014 annual report:.
"worldwide, there are 115,416 congregations of jehovahs witnesses and 8,201,545 publishers.".
i don't understand how the borg is facing financial difficulty.
I have the same question....somebody or somebodies are bleeding the watchtower dry. i will put on my conspiracy hat...ok, it's on.
the watchtower is run by a parent company, this company is in cognito. we don't know what they do, how they invest their money.
maybe they invested in a bad hedge fund or a bad stock and with the market downturn they lost there arses.
it has happened before to companies with alot more money.
i day traded for a while and i will tell you what...it is an addiction. like chasing the dragon. the GB are just front men or like i refer to them has G.O.D . they are bleeding money somewhere and we may never know.
heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.
apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.
so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

i took the most recent video on "obey" and edited it down to its core.
here tony explains that the decisions of the faithful slave are arrived at "collectively" but are not a "collection" of man made decisions.
it would be comical if it weren't so sad.. tony video.
and the zombies are eating this shite up....OMG or should i say G.O.D......these people are dillusional.
