it's just a week or two away and still no sign of the usual hype?
very strange.... anyone heard anything about it?
perhaps from those still in to some degree or from relatives/friends still in?.
Maybe there is some sort of crisis going on at the headquarters and things are falling apart quicker than we expected.
Rotflmao!!!! Slim, you remain a treasure. Never ever change :)
its nothing. Some may have gotten accustomed to fanfare and broadcast of the annual meeting but it really hasnt happened much. This the norm. Nothing to see here.
i'm being serious, i would like to hear from folks here that support him describe to me how that news conference was absolute brilliance, he answered all the questions, he knows what he is talking about.
just want to compare note with those who aren't his supporters (and have common sense) as you know this forum is here to hear both sides, so, have at it .

it's that time of year again when i can get back on the fields with the metal detector looking for ancient stuff.
the first field to be harvested was full of peas - ideal as it leaves no stubble and it's a two minute walk from my house.
it has given up two coins in two visits this week.. the first one is a cut-half silver penny from the reign of henry ii.
Sweet find!
today's london times reports on the july ruling of the eu court that forces the organisation country to comply with data protection.. the action originated in finland but the ruling will affect every eu country.
the cult tried unsuccessfully to argue that the notes taken by jws in the door-to-door work were personal and not accessed by the congregation.
the court ruled that they are acting under the auspices of the congregation and therefore they must comply with data-protection laws.. keeping lists of do-not-calls also falls under this ruling.. why does the cult always feel that it is above the law?.
Paul did take notes. He wrote 13 letters detailing his preaching work
false. Paul didnt write most if them. He dictated
ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.
honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.
to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.
Lets try this one more time....
Take out the kids not baptized and all the missing ones and you have less then 5 million baptized members maybe even less then 4 million.
You cant take missing ones out of the number. They are are already “missing”

Smh.... how can you take out “ missing” ones? By definition they are already missing. Stop trying to be smart.

Your faling into the slim trap of counting buildings.
It. Dosent. Matter.

i have said from the begining that i object to “collapse” not to the idea that the org has declined as compared to 10 or 20 years ago.

It is, sparky, at least a citation of some sort of facts, and not some random popping off of nonsense.
I dont see where the chart indicates if that figure is individual or family? A family of two making 30k a piece isnt great but its better than an individual making 30k to orovide for a family. The nonsense spouter said it was 30k a family.
