  We had a very similar thread about this a few weeks ago.

  The figure of 8000 was a mistake. In the article quoted above it mentions a few hundred..Which is more likely.

  Are their " wishy, washy" congregations...

  by The Rebel in

  it may be an amazing thought for many but i am sure " wishy, washy" congregations exist.

  i am referring to congregations where the elders are idle in enforcing the g.bs guidelines on control.. i mean let's face it the organisation is an authoritarian regime, that works only if the elders enforce complete obedience to watchtower policies.

  sadly in the congregations i was associated with the elders excelled at enforcing loyalty and obedience.. however with age, people mellow, elders can become more compassionate, even assume the voice of reason?

  Are JW's non- violent

  by notalone in

  2. friends

  okay, i keep reading something and though jw's do not get involved in national wars, my experience has always been they are very violent people.

  every convention i have ever been to was filled with children being beat within an inch of their lives for just not being able to take a third day of mind-droning silence without being able to move or now even sleep.

  i have seen whole congregations laugh at stories of children being beaten and calling out to "jehovah".

  any cult that promotes their god is to destroy all mankind--except the members of their cult---is likely to attract mentally deranged freaks.

  I have a big nose...

  surprisingly whilst hating being born with this over large nose, women have fallen in love with my nose.

  so with regards to look and charm, what i hated about my physical attributes, many women have found attractive.

  anyway i just wanted to say what we find unattractive about ourselfs, doesn't necessarily mean others do.

  well, that would be an airer.

  it's all in how we hear the spoken word.

  when a little boy, one fellow thought "world peace" was "whirled peas.

  Have you seen the Two Ronnies sketch with Ronnie Barker coming into a DIY-type shop and asking in a Cockney accent for supposedly 'four candles'?

  
  

  there was a member on here a few years ago---four candles. i knew him by different usernames on other sites. from north wales.

  UK Memorial attendances up this year?!

  by Isambard Crater in

  2. friends

  my congregation had around 25 more people at the memorial last night than last year, and the two other congregations i have family in all experienced a similar increase in about 25 more people present.

  umm, i'm surprised, having thought this year would see a memorial decline again.

  and i'm kind of disappointed..
