Good to hear he escaped! Sometimes all it takes is something pivotal that happens directly to YOU. The lack of love and concern for someone can shake a person to the core.

Hopefully, this will be enough to get this young man out of this cult. It is truly sad how they treat others. I hope he is ok.

They don't care about anyone but themselves.

splash - Imagine how far some, who live on the furthest edge of the territory will now have to travel to get to a kingdom hall, maybe having to drive past where the old hall used to be

I wonder if they will ever eliminate the mid-week meeting due to the "not having enough auditoriums" reason?

Will they further promote jw-tv to include the mid-week program? If you are too old or have a special needs (i.e. no gas money, no ride, sick, etc.). Jehovah has authorized the following spiritual provision:

We now have the mid-week meeting available on JW.TV for your convenience. When you click on the video, a pop up box will state: Have you been cleared by your local elders to miss the spiritual food in person? Have you been approved for on-line meeting attendance?

Please note the donate buttons at the top, bottom and both sides of your screen.

So, is this letter only for the elders? Not to be read to the congregation?

They call this the bait and switch. They got all the KH funds to build new KH's . BS!! Now they have all your money and will be merging congregations. I believe the decline in attendance is beginning to have an impact. Yippie!!!

A Tired Child is Better than a Dead Child

by snugglebunny in

incredibly, fred franz once announced at a district convention: "yesterday a sister approached me and said, brother franz, why do we have to keep our children up so late just so they can attend the meetings?

i responded sister ***, would you rather have a tired child or a dead child?".

*cue rapturous applause*.

Nothing these morons say surprises me. Tony Morris gave a talk about human hot dogs. These guys are clueless, insensitive & narcissistic. They wouldn't last a day in the real world.

What are the costs of literature cart witnessing?

by oppostate in

in the article on the guardian ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/14/jehovahs-witnesses-evangelism-church-god-armageddon ) mentioned in another thread, there's this quote of mark omalley, who is assigned to the public information desk at the jehovahs witness uk centre in north london.

we now have more than 165,000 [literature] carts on the streets in over 50 countries.

it gives us visibility and availability.

The Congregation has to purchase the carts? Imagine that...the Congregation has to pay, which means the rank and file pays. Does WT Headquarters pay for anything?
