elder friend of mine texted me asking what my rc attendance was 2 weeks ago (family and i streamed it since wife is not well).
he told me that his rc in the jersey city assembly hall last weekend was low.
co told them that around 2600 were the total from 16+ congs that were assigned.
Journeyman,
I remember, decades ago, sitting in the stadium of Crystal Palace football ground for the entire circuit assembly frozen cold and soaking wet from drizzle/rain!
i had a similar miserable few days at the old Wembley stadium in about the early 70's. Cold and wet; solid seats--crowds of wet miserable people. I vowed never to attend another big assembly--and i kept my promise.

the short answer is, god communicates with jehovah’s witnesses very poorly indeed.. jehovah’s witnesses are the first to affirm that god doesn’t directly communicate with them at all.. however, this fact doesn’t stop them from making the baseless assertion that god communicates to them through reading the bible, through holy spirit and through their leaders (known as the governing body, or the faithful and discreet slave).. here is a claim made by one of the first leaders of the watchtower organisation:-.
communication through reading the bible.
by e mail ?
so the end was going to come by 2000 as documented in the magazines back in the late 80's early 90's.. so how did they get the time off so badly ( over two decades and still nothing) since the gb is jehovah's earthly mouthpiece right ?
.
I think there might have been one mention that the end would come by/before the end of the century,
did they mention which century?
behold now is the accepted time.
behold now is the day of salvation.
if you had to do anything before coming to christ to be saved, then now is not the accepted time.. salvation is faith in christ and in christ alone.. jws must first have to prove themselves before they are approved.
Another one hit wonder.
article from the last days newsletter (june 5-11, 2023).
it has been said that by reading the watchtower and awake!
magazines, along with other publications of jehovah’s witnesses, a person will receive, over a period of years, a considerable and broad education.. …would you like to grow in knowledge, obtaining an education of even much greater value than can be received in any college?
he looks older than his old man.

august 2023 study watchtower, page 13, par.
20 - “these events will lead directly to the final war of armageddon.”.
.............repeating what has been said for years -.
the watchtower guys will say thats symbolic.
im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.
while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.
lol.
Maybe he bit off more than he could chew.
Bevan ( and Mrs ) Vigo stayed at my house a couple of times ( West Bromwich ) while on circ visits. About !969 /70. I was married in 1968--first of several times.
