Demoted from elder to MS, anybody ever heard of this?
by Naoscillator inso a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.
only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.
he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.

Our RC was this last week end and our baptism figures were 9 out of an attendance of 4500+. Eight of these were young adults or teens. It seems like the growth rate is dropping. This RC was in Saskatchewan , Canada. -

RC musings - my impressions
by Doubting Bro inso i went to the rc this past weekend and have a few observations:.
1 - use of videos - most parts had some sort of video prop.
they ranged from awkward (an example was on friday where they showed scenes of nature without a real purpose other than god made this) to very well done.

Our RC starts this Friday on July 10 in Saskatchewan. Being a fader the fingers will be pointing at me and others. I noticed last year's RC was a lot thinner with regard to attendance and this RC could be more so. It seems that all WTS conventions continue to bring up the topics like guilt and fear and doing more giving more. -

Looking Back In Retrospect To 1975...
by titch ingreetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.
and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.
but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.

My wife says to me that the WTS never wrote that 1975 was definite about the big 'A'. Well the publications and talks say different since the summer of 1966 starting with assemblies at that time. I remember waiting through September and October 1975 and thinking what happened to the Great Tribulation and now no big 'A'. I knew then we had been duped. It was the World Wide Web and this site that really woke me up back in early 2010. -

It Is Official, Just as Predicted on this Site... Local Cong Donates all Monies on Deposit with You Know Who!
by RichardHaley inmy local cong just donated all money (4k +) on deposit with you know who to, you know who.
"since the society forgave all kingdom hall loans the boe felt it only appropriate to forgive the society of our loan to them.
" is exactly how it was presented to the r&f.

The WT$ must have made 1+ billion dollars selling their New York property and they still fleece the flock. It's just a big publishing house. -

At Lake Vostok drilling site, the team drilled into a fresh water lake the size of Lake Ontario, Canada. The lake has more volume of liquid water than Lake Ontario with marine life in it. I am learning more on JWN and the Web than in a kingdom hall.

Dear K......,
There is no evidence of a flood layer in Antarctic ice cores. Liquid water freezes into solid ice with no air bubbles, but what is seen in all Antarctic ice cores is typical glacial ice with small air bubbles, indicating ice made from compressed snow (which is a mixture of ice crystals and air). No liquid water in Antarctica is indicated at any time in the past 800,000 years.

At JW.ORG web site I read this. 'Are Jehovah's Witnesses Trying to Earn Salvation by Their Door-to-Door Ministry?' No. We engage regularly in our door-to-door ministry, but we don't believe that we earn our salvation by doing such work. (Ephesians 2:8) Why not?
This is not what we hear at the meetings.
