  Update Please on Reasons for KH Sales

  i've been out of the loop somewhere along the line.

  the wt is trying to raise money i guess.

  is this in anticipation of major pay-outs to child abuse victims?

  I wonder if they're also short on elders for each congregation? For no particular reason I recall that when my father decided that we as a family would should become "Need is greaters, we were sent to a congregation that was almost 200 strong that had no-one in it who was qualified to become a PO. So my Dad took over. When he moved on years later, they bussed in a "locum" PO from nearby Bristol. When I returned to the area decades on, they were still bussing in a locum PO.

  Sorry. I've been out of the loop somewhere along the line. The WT is trying to raise money I guess. Is this in anticipation of major pay-outs to child abuse victims? Or something else?

  Stats just out: JWs in Wales decline (-3.4%) - COs primed for zero baptisms!

  by Darth FayDehr in

  2. beliefs

  figures from that latest 2-weekend convention in caridff (wales) reveal jw “growth” now in decline.

  baptisms are discouragingly low (21, combined), and circuit overseers have been primed to deal with assemblies where there are no baptisms; see these leaked 2018 instructions:.

  Sex before marriage

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

  what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

  in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

  OK what is the deal with Smurfs?

  by blownaway in

  2. beliefs

  i heard the crap, smurfs were magical evil creatures.

  i saw in the 80s kids parents get talked to because of the kids having one or pjs with smurfs on them but other than the urban meme where did this come from?

  was there anything printed about it?

  Totally bonkers when compared to this:

  "While both homosexuality and bestiality are disgusting perversions, in the case of neither one is the marriage tie broken." Watchtower 1972 Jan 1 p.32.

  So you can't get divorced those things but you can be disfellowshipped for touching a ladies boobies.

  I don't get why some point to the no tolerance for gays and subjugation of women as a JW thing.

  by blownaway in

  1. watchtower

  some churches have taken the step to allow gays, women instructing men ect.

  but its not a jw thing.

  its a bible thing.

  I know the Bible does forbid same-sex sex. Amongst fellas anyway. Plus it also says man is head over the woman, (although all that stuff is over 2000 years old). So it causes me some small amusement that our Queen Elizabeth is Head of the Church of England and also had to sign off the new law permitting same-sex marriage.
