This got changed bout 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure there was an elders letter about it. Phone hookup is supposed to be more restricted now.

New arrangement from C.O.
by Doctor Who ini think most on here will be familiar with the caller hook up system that many congregations use.
visit about 2 months ago.
during our servant and elders meeting he was talking up the importance of meeting attendance and how we "gods spirit appointed men" must take the lead on making every meeting.

Seems very easy to leave now, why do people hesitate?
by Xanthippe inwhen i see people on here saying they've looked on several sites before this one, jwfacts, jwstruggle, youtube, etc., and then they make friends here, sometimes meeting up with ex-jws, it seems incredibly easy compared to leaving in 1989. .
no internet, no amazon to find ex-jw books, no facebook to link up with ex-jw groups.
still people find it so hard to leave.

Waking up is much easier with the Internet. Losing your family will never be easy though. -

Who are the people in JW TV videos?
by HappyDad inout of curiosity, i have caught a glimpse or two of the "drama" style videos.
are the ones in these televised "dramas" jw's or did they hire actors for the job?
i can't see the average jw being able to do acting as good (if you will call it good) as some of these people.

Dating
by Indy98 ini have been brought up as a jehovah witness and want to date this boy who isn't a jehovah's witness.
we have talked about the trials we could go through and i was wondering because i am a unbaptised publisher could i date him without any consequences?

I'm not sure if u have to be baptized in order to be marked. I think they will give a marking talk for non-baptized publishers as well. This will just mean that people won't do things with u socially. -

WT cash flow speculation
by campaign of hate inso it was reported that the wt made $60,000,000 in canada last year (?).
working on the assumption that this figure is from not only donations, but from property revenues and other ventures from the branch, we get a figure of $528 per publisher, per year.
the calculation: 60,000,000 / 113,617 (2014 av pubs) = $528 a year per publisher.

Sounds feasible to me. I've always thought prob 20/pub/mnth. That's lil under 300 mill per year for the US -

They used giving woman more privileges as a threat at my friends hall. Told the bros that if they didn't step up the sisters would be used more. They eventually had women behind the literature counter

Maybe I'm missing it but I'm not sure where it says Lynn is a woman. This can commonly be a mans name. -

Gustv cistern was my favorite "real witness".
As for me I am still active, but I no longer believe that 7 men in New York are the fountain of youth.
