It is not just the WT ..No doubt she is shocked and a bit angry at the situation. She is a Mother, after all . Try and cut her some slack.

Re :New Moston Cong. U.K Report from U.K Gov.on Abuse.
by Phizzy inhttps://www.gov.uk/government/news/investigation-leads-to-improvements-in-safeguarding-at-jehovahs-witnesses-charity?fbclid=iwar0chnvc4vko4s63uci5xnd7sff_8p5ku.
the link is to the report on the new moston congregation in manchester u.k. the report says that better safeguarding has been introduced !
we could tell then where even "better" safeguarding is still woefully short of what most other organizations are doing..

This release was 2017....
A search of Charities Commission showed that they still exist as a charity.
The trustees would a gang of three elders who signed legal docs for KHall ownership and charity purposes..... I thought they had done away with that system now...

“There must have been some colossal screw-up“
In all my time I never heard that . I know someone who was reinstated after a ridiculously short time but he got the normal reinstatement announcement.

How Much of the WT Teaching Did You Believe?
by Ding insome people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".
i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.

All of it of course...... I could not have taught it otherwise.

Pete Zahut.
I can only say that 1 Corinthians 11 tells us that the Lords Evening Meal was being observed ,and abused, by the Corinthian congregation of mixed Jews and Greeks...... so the first century Christians did not see it as a purely Jewich thing.
As forthe Gt Crowd observing? Yes that is a purely JW concept since other churches do not have dual destinies.

Overlapping Generation
by pandorasbox1914 inthe september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.
his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .
no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

This "overlapping generation" is the biggest load of b### s### ever laid on the sheeplike congregation. I wonder they can't see that! Actually I think they do. They are so indoctrinated that they think, " if it's wrong, the "slave" will fix it. I will wait patiently"
I have searched in dictionaries and I found not one giving a definition of generation that allowed that teaching.
The fact is... the time has run out . IF Christ began his presence in 1914 then the kingdom had to be in force long before now . Since the WW1 vets have died out, ( WW2 vets are knocking on too) Did Jesus' prophecy fail? No.
The only conclusion is that 1914 was not the right date. This whole doctrine of being in the time of Christ's prescence just cannot be true..... and that knocks away the very bedrock of JW beliefs.........if you stop and think about it.
If I had not quit when I did 20 years ago, I am sure I would have by now.

by Listener inthe watchtower is thrilled with the amount baptised in the 2019 service year.
they are reporting an increase in publishers of 103,208 from the 2018 year.. this is what they have posted under global news on their website -.
2019 service year report includes largest baptismal figure in 20 yearswe are thrilled to announce that during the 2019 service year, more than 300,000 individuals were baptized as jehovah’s witnesses.

So they baptised 300,000 but increased around 100,000, losing 200k along the way. .
However, there are around 120,000 congregations in tne world. Deaths are not unusual. If each congregation buried just 1 or 2 people in the year, that would account for a large part of them.
Perhaps the wastage is not so bad after all.?
