  So in our local area, 2 mega churches are adding on huge additions. I mean huge! More shuttle buses added and more traffic for us when we are trying to enjoy our Sunday. lol So what happened to Babylon falling and the increase in numbers at the Kingdumb halls. I guess it will now be...."the greater number is cooling of." They always have a scripture that just happens to suit them or they make it suit them.

  "Their actions are an indication they recognize that their message has failed to convince the masses, and will continue to fail to do so."

  Great point! This is good news. Now that they are in their lakeside resort they can carry out their master plan. This has been in the making for years.

  LURKERS THAT ARE STUCK IN: VOTE WITH YOUR WALLETS! HIT WT IN THE POCKET!

  Isn't interesting that financial support was mentioned several times. Even mentioned before prayer. What a load of crap. In the corporate world they don't sell off assets, consolidate and lay off unless they are struggling financially.

  Learn To Speak Like A Jehovah's Witness

  by pale.emperor in

  2. humour

  for those who were never a jw, here's a fun guide to passing yourself as one:.

  privilege [priv-lij] - a duty nobody would volunteer to do which is assigned to you without your say so.

  such as cleaning the toilets, picking up other brats candy wrappers in the back row and being stuck on locking up duty for the 7th time in a row.. df'd [dee-eff'd] - disfellowshipped.

  "Do u want them to help or not?"

  I'd like to see the WT help even the most lowly of publishers, they won't. They pick and choose. That's the point I am trying to make. I am a card carrying/proud mentally diseased apostate. You see, I spent 40 plus years not being allowed to have an opinion. As most of us hear have. So glad I'm free!

  'In this case the jw org did help a LOT just fyi."

  You mentioned JW dot org in a previous post. Not attacking family, just WT for how they choose to help others. There are a lot of people who a wonderful people within the org, I just won't back up WT. They have their own agenda....THEM.

  Like I said above...Watchtower helped because of WHO she was and who she was related to (part time Bethelites).

  How many of us on this forum have witnessed the most wonderful, faithful witnesses that would lay their life down for Jehovah (aka the organization) BUT they where just not of the "special class?" You know the ones I am talking about. The Bethelites or the "heavy hitters" (rich Brothers). The ones that could DO something for WT. Remember.....FOLLOW THE MONEY!

  " Her parents have done loads of volunteer work at HQ over the years of going back and forth for Phelicity's treatment so theyre like part time bethelites if that's a thing?"

  With all due respect of this incredible loss. This family received assistance because of WHO they were. My family and I have witnessed this over and over again in this religion. NOW...we are out. NOW...we have witnessed complete strangers giving and helping others that they do not know. You know...evil worldly people.

  This religion gives to those they call "exemplary." This is one thing that really irks me! They won't give to anyone else. We have seen some VERY faithful Brothers and Sisters throughout the years who are what we call "ordinary folk". They won't give squat to these ones. We experienced this personally and is one of the main reasons we are OUT.... NEVER to return!

  Moving to Warwick Video incl. Morning Worship

  by Listener in

  a new video is up about the commencement of moving to warwick.shawn bartlett tells the viewers that jehovah has said, through the governing body, ‘it’s time to move out of brooklyn.

  ‘ then helper robert lucciona says ‘ the governing body, these brothers, as soon as they see god’s direction, they just move, it doesn’t matter if it is long held, cherished ideas, this is the way it has to be done, as soon as they see jehovahs direction.

  he just kept nudging imperfect humans, he knew where he wanted us and then we end up where we are supposed to be.

  2. friends

  they wlll always have new people coming in but the majority of the congro's are getting older particularly the inner city ones were it is expensive to live.

  they are struggling to get men to be elders and m.s's and this can only get worse as very few young ones stay around.

  Exactly DOC! Just look at how full the Kingdom Halls were just after 9/11. People you had not seen in years just showed up. Shortly thereafter, they all disappeared again. Poof...gone!
