All appointed men are being told they have to pioneer now!
by stuckinarut2 inyes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.
they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.

2. Total propaganda.

Speculation Fall AGM
by Poztate ina lot of comments have been made about possible big changes at the agm in the fall.. comments range from changes to the blood doctrine or who compose the one hundred and forty four thousand.. my speculation is.... (and if someone else had this kind of thread i am not stealing from you..just never read it).
the door to door as we know it will cease to exist.
the publishing of a monthly public wt and awake will end.. instead each month a tract with different subjects and a redirect to jw.org will come out.

Absalom Stated " As long as your kingdom hall has installed its new AV system by August first, you will be able to tie into the annual meeting and the zone visit. As least in the United States."
i have only heard about tying into the zone visit. I have heard nothing about the annual meeting yet. I might have missed that though.

They continue to drop like flies
by suavojr inyes, the jws continue to bleed their young ones, so far in my local kh 3 were dfd, one girl just turned 18 this month and packed her bags and said goodbye to the cult and her cultish parents, another young 18 year old man decided to have a non-jw girlfriend and decided to stop attending and is no longer a witness.
they continue to leave and wt leaders dont give a damn.
they dont do anything to help kids be successful and live a healthy life.. .

In the Midwest I am seeing absolutely no signs of a mass exodus of young ones. It seems about the same as always here. What I do notice is that most hard liners choose not to have kids These are the ultra spiritual ones. The couples that have kids are usually more moderate. They aren't waiting on the paradise These ones usually make for better parents and are more likely to raise kids that will stick around.

I would be surprised if they expand the gb to 12. That would be diluting each of the current GB powers almost in half. These guys seem pretty power hungry to me so I just dint think they will do that. If they do theN that seems like at least a small sign of humility on their part.

I have been wondering the same thing. They didn't read any auxiliary pioneers at our hall. if they require all MS to aux pioneer I won't do it. I can barely stomach the four hours a month that I do now. So far there hasn't been Any pressure. August is a big vacation month for people. Also kids go back to school. It's a hard month for the R and F to pioneer. I'm curious if our hall is going to step up for this "momentous" month.

New "Caleb and Sofia" video on JW.ORG....you have to see it!
by stuckinarut2 inok, so i dont want to be a negative bitter person...and we all love little kids, but i am just so torn about the new video just uploaded on jw.org.
if you havent watched it yet, have a look at it...."an animated series that touches hearts".
(yes, its well done...and they certainly like to do a lot of boasting about their technical skills etc...).

I have been hearing the idea that an outside agency makes these videos. I'm very curious if that is true. Just to say that a jdub owns an agency and oversees and assists in the process wouldn't seem goofy to me at all. I know that they have been asking for non bethelite jdub help with their phone apps as well.
if you look at the first couple of videos the characters eyes are messed up. But as the videos have progressed the eyes have become much better. To me that is evidence that this is not being done by an outside firm. an outside firm would already have worked the bugs out of their process.

Roll call of those of us stuck in for our spouse or whos spouse is still in!
by BU2B ini just wanted to get a feel for how many here have awakened to ttatt but are still carrying on some jw activities to pacify them and keep the peace.
also trying to hear from those who have left, but whose spouse has stayed in the wt and in the marriage.. for me it comes down to my own mental anguish.
i am mentally tortured by attending the meetings, yet i feel compelled to because my wife would kill me with her personality if i had her drag 2 small girls by herself there.

How long before the Wt fully embraces the internet.
by joe134cd inthe way things are going i believe that wt will start encouraging its members to start setting up web sites.
i can certainly see them loosening their stand on it.
the example i will give is the video showing the dancing in the kh, and jw defender which i believe is wt in hiding.

I don't see them letting people set up there own websites. That would go against there control freak ways. I think they are going to double down on demonizing anything apostate.

Did I ever fear jehovah?
by Ignoranceisbliss inwhen i think back on when i started losing faith in the borg it all becomes kinda fuzzy.
even when i was 19, a pioneer an ms and the local golden boy i clearly remember lying about my field service time every month.
if i really feared jehovah there's no way i would of done that.
