Hi Simon, just wondering if in any future iteration of the site it could have a notifications spot, that tells you of any new comments in threads you've started and/or posted in kind of like Facebook has, instead of having to go back and check each one manually which can cause you to miss replies. Thank you and I appreciate you're work.

How many people need to know how to use a website!
Older ones with funds to spare. Also, it's a 'reminder' to everyone that the online feature exists, techies included, under the guise of a how-to video.

Is her mother a JW?
Because in the interview she says that it 'doesnt make sense', but if you're a JW it's supposed to make perfect sense, us being in Satan's world and all.

Happy 1st PIMO Anniversary To Me: A Look Back
by neat blue dog init was just about a year ago exactly that i really and truly decided in my mind where i stood and as rutherford would say "face the facts".
before that, there was a period of about two years where i almost felt like i had a dual personality, vacillating between pro and anti jw, a very confusing, draining mental state to be in.
and it all started over seven years ago in 2010, when i read "apostate" material on the internet.

Funny you mention that, working behind the counter as I do, I've tossed my fair share of literature π
I also try to work things into my talks and conversation, as well as be nice to disfellowshipped folks and discreetly greet them.

Don't mean to detract from today's tragedy, but these kind of events only make it harder for JWs to think outside the box. Now they know we're in the last days for sure. π

Baptism statistics from CO

'sure, there are some adults baptised here and there, but do you want to know something wonderful?
the vast majority of those getting baptized are teens and preteens!

That's an excellent point slimboyfat. Field service reports are routinely used to judge the r&f and gauge their 'spirituality', and they also say that it's 'for encouragement'. They already lost one good reason last year, when all placements were categorized under one count. Now they can't say it's to keep track of magazines, books, brochures, tracts, in stock etc.

Wow, 0!
My circuit had about 60-something for the whole year, (all three assemblies). Not sure how that matches up with other places.

J.W.'s reliance on Matthew 24:14
by The Fall Guy invirtually every j.w.
will gladly tell you that matthew 24:14 proves that only they are god's true people/religion, because they are the only people preaching the good news worldwide today.
crucially, they double-down on this lame bet by adding that their worldwide preaching proves another wtbts teaching, namely, that we are living in "the last days.

Excellent. Simple truths, but over JWs heads sadly.

I thought it was ridiculous for two reasons.
1: Obviously, he's putting in a good light the trapping of children in a cult.
2: It's almost hilarious that he put a positive spin on something that's so mundane. Of COURSE children of JWs are more likely to become JWs, that's how the world works with regard to religion/politics no matter where you go for the most part. Children haven't grown up and formed their own true opinions yet, so naturally they're part of the culture of their parents. That most baptisms are born-in minors only proves that the preaching work isn't terribly effective. Then when you take away all the adults getting baptized that were exposed to JWs as a child but left for a time, the amount of 'converts' in the truest sense of the word is miniscule indeed.
