  knocked on a door on a saturday morning.

  a window opened on the floor above me.

  a grizzled old man stuck his head out and said, " we're all heathens here!

  It would be interesting if someone hacked into the bank accounts of members of the Governing Body.

  Yes, and they're in fear of me. I live in a large apartment complex mostly inhabited by JWs and I walk by them all the time. On one occasion two JW women were walking right by my car while I was in there and one told the other that I was disfellowshipped for apostasy. Right where I could hear them as if I wasn't there.

  I have a reputation here since I've circulated an anti-Witness tract 20 years ago.

  on the door frame, on the door, door knocker, bell.. loud, very loud, regular, soft... gentle... or just pretended and never knocked at all?

  we just had a city worker come a knocking on our front door and my responce after she left was, she should go down to the local kingdom haul and give lessons.

  her knock was so loud, she could raise the dead.

  On the door with a regular knock. I didn't want them getting mad at me. Door knockers were intended for thick solid wood doors which made little sound from regular knocking.

  I no longer have any interest in such doctrines and I expect neither do many here. Just leave the choices to your doctor.

  Are the J.W's reaching a "Tipping point"?

  by karter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't been to a meeting in 15 years but my mother and sister are hard as j.w's.

  the brothers they are appointing elders are at best suspect like one guy from my old hall made elder,big time drug used before becoming a j.w his talks are all over the place and would have struggled to make m,s years ago but with at least 60 to 70 % of young ones leaving the pool to pick from is at best reduced.. 2 other recent elders both young and zero life experience both on benefits one not well at all falls asleep all the time.. the decent,kind elders mostly older and are decent people with alot of life experience are burning out fast as there are so few of them left like 3 per congro of 100 publishers.. then you have the rich elders who wouldn't ever think of inviting some poor older or mis-fit person out to the expensive placers they go to as they couldn't afford to go so they are above the r&f and the r&f get pissed off with them.

  then we have the ones who have "put the kingdom 1st" who are now old worn out and barely getting by from welfare cheque to welfare cheque that are saying "the system should have been over many years ago" it's still here and they are struggling everyday.. then there are the pioneers who have a low payed reduced hour job that seem to think anyone who has anything is totally materialistic and looks down on anyone getting a new car buying a house ect.. along with the child abuse issues,the generation change,access to information the the g.b don't want anyone to know ,not to mention the issues around blood.. is there a tipping point coming????

  They crashed in membership by 75% during the rising Rutherfordian administration. That though, was a series of splinters that did not destroy the hard core membership. Plus, they had a strongman leader that took the miniscule Bible Students Association and transformed them into the militant Jehovah's Witness organization.

  Nowadays, JWs don't have any real leadership and I suspect that if something drastic happens most of the governing body will fly off, with a million bucks in their pockets, to some Caribbean mansion.

  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  If you repeat that Trump is a danger to the country 100 times a day, you might start believing it. I'm just so sick of the nutty liberal agenda. They stated from the beginning that they would not acknowledge Trump as the President! So honestly, I disregard their cries and their demagoguery.
  

  1. Trump is incompetent and a danger to this nation.
  2. Trump is still incompetent and a danger to this nation.

  What do anarchists have to do with this?
  

  OK then, what have Wikileaks and Assange have to do with anything ...
  

  That's not an explanation. You made the statement about the anarchists. I'm simply asking what their role is.
