"all people in the world are currently considered enemies of god" gee i wonder where some poeple get the idea that we are an extremist organization.. " jehovahs chariot is moving forward at blazing speed!
" in what reality is contraction and downsizing moving forward?.
"it used to be that if a congregation reached 150 publishers we would split into 2 congregations now if we have 2 congs.
"Do these guys actually buy this dribble they spew out?"
Most do. They are in the JW bubble so they have nothing to compare their life to. Our family is in such fear of the outside world that it even affects them financially. If they did what my spouse and I do every day, their heads would explode. You actually have to have contact with outsiders to make a living. They don't get it.
i hope that one of the friends will post the letter soon.
i heard that on 3/27/2017 a letter with new instructions about the accounts at the circuit conventions was released.
the letter seems to adopt many of the corrections that had been suggested here at the forum, among other things during the accounts report they will be no mention of the per capita and the amount due is going to be released only to the elders.
Comforting thought: Many still ins we still associate with tell us they do not donate. SWEET! Seems they have bills to pay, are struggling financially because they listened to WT 50 years ago, to not go to college. You know the drill..."it's just around the corner." The ones who do have money seem to be enjoying their lives, i.e. Cruises, new homes, new cars etc. Many things are being revealed over time. They may be attending the KH and assemblies BUT they are not donating!
i think it would be great if the gb could testify on behalf of the russia brothers they say care so much about.
if nothing else it would show the dear russian brothers that jehovahs organization has their back.
and give them moral support.
Ha ha! Cowards never show up!
i heard that there is supposed to be a video shown in all congregations this week, preempting the local needs part .
.
anybody heard this?.
Oh boy...another "special" event. My guess is that they are keeping the masses busy with the Russian issue. Gotta keep em busy and keep them from thinking.

I agree with what she says at the end...."the Governing Body are the ones who should receive prison time, not the individuals."
i know i am, to me its a bit of a peculiar anomaly that the wts is still around and functioning in reflection of its decades and now complete century that the wts has been bullshitting to people .
organizations like the church of god have shrunk dramatically from its heyday of the 1980's, this too was another organization that spread and grew by publishing its own magazine proclaiming a armageddon soon doctrine and its main publication was called " the truth " .
i'm guessing some of this has to do with the fact that people who get lured into this cult aren't aware of its past, its doctrines, the people who started it and so forth.
Give it time! The natives are getting restless. It may never completely go away but I think the numbers will reduce over time.
i have heard rumors and anecdotes of j.f.
rutherford calling women "a hank of hair and a stack of bones" but i never thought it was documented.
well thanks to jwfacts i finally found the quote in print.. this j.f.
Rutherford was a piece of sh*t!!!
i got this account second hand.
a former bethelite was reassigned to a local congregation.
he had been at bethel for years and is now in his fifties.
A test? Everything is a test to JW's. When something goes their way it's a blessing. When it doesn't, it's a test or Satan causing it.
today a main point in the wt was a guess game.. the study elder asked: .
what's wrong on the picture?.
before i share the local conclusions here, i would like to hear the comments made in your congregation 😎.
Reminds me of a quote:
"Sometimes the nicest people you meet are covered in tattoos & sometimes the most judgmental people you meet go to church on Sundays."
Earl Dibbles Jr.
msoneone of fb sent me this.
looks like they know they're being exposed as the frauds they are.
this plus the theme of the next convention "don't give up" just reeks of desperation.. stash: /intesoft-inc.appspot.com/post/b21fe47ca2644a0ea2f6e28fe6401145.html
"You can not trust your leaders."
Yep...you can't! Boy...they said a mouthful there.
Just imagine if you were dating a man or a woman and they said to you, "you are going to hear a lot of negative things about me. When you do, don't believe them, it's all lies." Red flags should immediately go up and you should run like hell. They don't even realize how slimy they appear. Unfortunately, they will have the loyalists that will jump off of a cliff for them. They can enjoy that ride!
