  i wonder what the true membership numbers really are for the civilised ? countries--if all these halls are being sold.

  yesterday i had occasion to drive past the hall my ex wife and daughter attend--shanklin isle of Wight UK. i know the place isnt currently used because of the lockdown, but to see the iron gates chained shut and the sign board removed tempted me to think it could go up for sale.

  Another thought...with these zoom online meetings--it could end up a lot of halls being disposed of--and several congs sharing--each having say one meeting a month in hall--the rest online. Here on the I o W, there used to be 5 halls--now down to three--could easily get by with just one.

  The book "New Boy" is Free on Amazon For Down Load the Next 4 Days

  a few people have posted that i wrote my book to "make money.

  "yes, i have made some money from this book but nothing to the comparison to the 11 years it took to write it and the cost to produce it.money was the last thing on my mind on my list of motivations/priorities in writing of this book.

  my thought was if i could circumvent the pain and suffering that the watchtower bible & tract society/ jehovah's witnesses has caused to just one person's life than the book has served its purpose.i'm happy to announce the book is free for down load on amazon for the next 5 days.enjoy my friends.keith casaronap.s if after reading it, if you could post a review on amazon i would greatly appreciate it.

  under the radar14 hours ago

  stan livedeath: I am so sorry for the turmoil the WT caused in your family. It's downright shameful how people will allow religious leaders to dictate how they must treat relatives who dare to want to leave the JWs. I would be mortally embarrassed for anyone to know I'd never met my grandchildren or spoken to my adult children for years. Especially over something so stupid and ridiculous as a difference in religious beliefs.

  i'm open about it--most of my friends and non-jw family know the score. And my d/f son's extended family know about his.

  He has 2 teenage kids from his first JW wife--i met them once--13 years ago. They didnt know who i was. He has pretty well lost contact with them now--after spending over 40 grand over the years in legal fees trying to keep contact with them

  well--now lets see.

  i cut any remaining contact with the cult in 1981. within 5 years my growing kids cut all contact with me.

  the youngest--son--now age 42--ive not seen since. i dont know anything about him--but i think he has a family of his own--which ive never met..dont know their names etc.

  the oldest--my daughter---now 49--i did speak to face to face 5 years ago--to implore her to visit her grand-dad ( my father )--a faithful dub till he died the following year. she never did--i presume she shunned him because i was in close contact with him --i was all he had. ( she lived less than a mile away from him.) She has 4 daughters--ive never met any of them.

  the middle one--my older son--now 44 was d/fd about 10 years back. we have a good-close--normal father and son relationship. however his own mother ( my first wife ) shuns him totally--no contact at all. shes never met his 5 year old boy--her grandchild. theres another on the way soon.

  this is entirely the fault of the watchtower shunning policy--exacerbated by the control freaks that blindly follow its rules.

  Baptism during Covid - pool must tough the ground?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the july 2020 announcements mentions that baptism can be held in an “inflatable pool” as long as it touches the ground.

  the pool must not be “on a terrace, flat roof, balcony, etc.”.

  has anyone ever noticed that as a requirement?.

  i'm surprised the watchtower ever approved of baptisms in a plastic pool. i would have thought they would follow the bible more closely.
