i was watching a couple videos on youtube earlier and always like to peruse the comments at the bottom of the page.. i'm no sure if this has been discussed recently, but one indivdual made the claim that the societies numbers are massively over inflated, as he/she believes that they include inactive, df'd and da'd in their figures.. does anyone have any information to confirm this or i this just another assumption made without evidence?.
(also has anyone heard from witnessmyfury lately?
i had a pm chat with him a few days ago but not had a reply to my latest msgs.
Well they still have the information for most inactive, df'd and da'd on the books i guess, so it would'nt be a problem to add them to the active figures!
Also from what i've already read on here 'A LOT' of people have falsified their hours (especially the pioneers) so i don't have any faith in those figures being correct.

i want to reply when people send me pm,s but when i begin to type in the reply box the submit button disappears?
i'm using android device and google chrome.
That happened to me the other day. It is there but invisible. Try pressing to the very left of the screen where you would usually find the submit button. Mine has somehow managed to fix itself :/
i was surprised to read that the us has no minimum statutory paid leave.
in the eu the minimum is 20 days annually.
some countries give much more.
I believe they also don't have a minimum wage act.
last week, the circuit overseer came to visit my wifes congregation and as usual their patterns change somewhat during this week.
from my perspective, the meetings are held on tuesday and thursday instead of the normal wednesday night during this week and they are more eager to go out in field service.
sunday came and my wife wanted us to attend the meeting.
This is also the topic that first opened my eyes to TTATT!!! I phoned the elder who studied with me when I was younger and he gave me the clap trap about only wanting to access some sort of 'library card' if the UN. There was definitely no political agenda whatsoever no, no. Them he went on about how witnesses even work for the UN in clerical capacities these days.
I just thought: Wow does this mean I can start tendering for work with the MOD and local church parishes now then?
gone are the days of getting into discussions about their beliefs.
doing major research to prove a position or watchtower doctrine is a thing of the past.
all they want from you is to surrender and accept everything they say as undeniable truth.. do you agree?.
It's been a loooong time since I've heard anyone get into a discussion about doctrine. I'd say the last time anything was discussed in depth was during the last time we went through the revelation book.
These days it's all talk about how life is so awful and the big A is only just around the corner. Any form of substance seems to have disappeared. Thinking about it that's probably why I floated along for so long before opening up to TTATT.
i used to be very impressed with convention experiences regarding how worldly employers would hire jws because they were known as the most honest workers.
i was too indoctrinated to realise these were selective experiences, and there are plenty of experiences of jws being dishonest in the workforce.
i have received a couple recently by email.. i have cut quite a bit out of the following email i received so that the person and company cannot be indentified, but you will get the message.. .
There have been loads of instances where witnesses in my locality have misbehaved. I know this isnt the case of an employed witness but one 'brother' decided to start up his own building business only he didn't really know anything about building. He ended up scamming a few customers out of thousands and got away with it.
i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.
i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?
i've already found several by reading older posts..
Here goes: SW Wales
i haven't come across any arguement that does not involve secular history and external references.
in fact the wt can not get to 607 bce without using external sources as in knowing that they need to get back from 1914 ce to 607 bce, and botching an argument using an external date as reference to create their start point at 537 bce.. i realize that to get the final date we must provide a fixed figure from somewhere which can only be a historical source, but the objective would be to disprove the wt flim flam.
once that is achieve we can use which ever fixed historical point they wish to chose.

make of it what you will.
My wife came across an interesting site for lurkers recently too. Useful for those who hold onto a belief in god. www.evidenceministries.org
This guy is clearly far more knowledgeable than the elder with whom he's discussing various subjects. Interestingly he feels he's been led by god to help both JWs and Mormons see how wrong and twisted their beliefs in the bible are.
