  i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.

  once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.

  and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

  Those are just a few factors. There are many more that indicate JWs are reaching a tipping point. The fact is that their growth is already the poorest it's been since 1975 and there are mulple indications it is going to get a whole lot worse. Does that count as a mass exodus?

  Damn it slim, now i have to add this thread to the list of “slims gloom and doom predictions”. For the record, your first post on this thread seems to indicate you have a new new new postion, which is the same as one of your many old ones, that they are not yet declining but soon will.

  Its beyond a joke at this point slim. Give it up.

  Also also, if you say “their GROWTH is at its poorest since 1975” then no slim, by definition, they arnt declining. They are still growing... see how easy that is?

  Sigh.... now to go add to the list....

  Yes. And they are only threads where slim played a role. There are lots of others. Delusional collapse people are everywhere.

  *edited to add- those are from the last six months only.

  You are correct. Nobody cares. The jw’s are a paltry 8 million world wide. They are important only to us because we once shared their pov. Outside of that i wouldnt give one single damn either.

  Dont let it frustrate you.

  Massive hints against alcohol

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the most recent assembly there were several heavy hints about not drinking alcohol at all.

  saying that it doesn't give a good witness or would stumble others.. is this a new "unwritten directive?.

  • I do recall at a District Convention about 10 years ago a dramatization of a couple who moved into a congregation that needed help. The couple discussed how they got some raised eyebrows from brothers/sisters who came over for dinner when they saw the couple's wine rack. The couple decided to get rid of it because they didn't was to "stumble" anyone in their new congregation.

    i remember that as well! In the end, the bible talks about drinking somewhat favorable in some key passages. They wont shut it down completely, too many dubbies need to drink to cope with the cognitive dissonance.

  ) relationship with my parents who are both still in.. jump forward 14 years or so to last night.

  Short answer: i would say no. Your fine. You never know what question or what point will open the door for someone to see the real truth. I wouldnt push it until hes ready for more but i wouldnt worry that you said too much. Its a process, not a one time event :)
