Missing Meetings is OK??

talking with a friend, yesterday.. he said asked if the jws attitude had changed on attending meetings.. it seems that while browsing the internet on his phone.. he came across a website that said, "that missing meetings was not wrong , as jehovah knows whats in your heart.".

he couldn't remember the websites title, just that it had "watchtower" in the address.. has anyone else come across this?.

i find it odd that the watchtower would say such a thing, considering the way they are are the moment.. seemingly more strict on meeting attendance.. .

i decided you guys would like to see watchtower's claimed statistics for 2009. interestingly their new baptisms are down though they claim enormous growth in the u.s. and around the globe, which most do not believe are valid.

anyway, just click to see; odds are your own nations show up in the list:.

contacting the registrant's email only resulted in a message back informing that it was out of service for the time being.

there were quite a few good documents for download before it went down.

my guess is there's some legal arm-twisting behind the scenes.

Anyone heard this one about Home Studies??
by aniron in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i picked this up on another forum the poster said the following.. i was also told by a witness at the door that they are no longer doing real home bible studies with new 'suckers'.

instead they are doing 'doorstep studies' because everyone is 'so busy'.

in other words they can't get anyone to let them in for an hour so they now call their little 'preach and runs' bible studies.

by aniron in
1. jw
2. experiences
there seems to be now a lot of reports of jw's actually speaking to those of us who have left.

even to df'd and da'd ones.

i had a mail today from da'd jw saying he was in pc world when he saw a jw from his old congregation one who had ignored him times before.
