All the remnant 144,000
by hopelesslystained ini have always wondered from the time of being a child and being familiar with a few of the professed 144,000 remnant; just why is there no enlightenment coming from them?
the only enlightenment or new light is coming from the few in brooklyn, new york.
does not make sense to me.

Latest WT study article - preparation for upcoming new light?
by truth_about_the_truth in.
the latest wt study article seemed like an article to prep the masses for 'new light' to be revealed in the very near future.. i have never seen an article like this one where they summarized their 'flashes of light' in their history in this manner and bombarded the minds with the need to accept all and any change within the org.. it could be for the purpose of getting the rank and file to accept a pretty big change or a series of big changes very soon.. what do you think?
what do you think it'll be?.

I was the secretary during our discovery of all that is fake in the WTS. I found that a good many people stretched the truth as regards their report and in the end, why shouldn't they. Everyone is pushed all the time to perform. So pad it out a bit.
I did help one MS out. He was having a hard time keeping up and the feeling was he should be demoted, so I added a few here and there to boost his average. He probably wont thank me, but more than likely judge me for not attending....huh? -

Why the WT says you should read their older books!
by Dogpatch inwatchtower may 15, 1957 pp.313-315 appreciating basic christian publications: .
their zeal for knowledge may even prompt them to dig back into things that were published long before they came into the truth, expanding and deepening their understanding, and ever growing in christian maturity.
do you dig into our older publications to expand and deepen your knowledge on subjects about which questions arise?

This article referred to is from 1957.....old light people..... lucky that it still makes it on the WT-CD isn't it.
Some people seem to get prestige from their ownership of all the old books going back to Russell. They use it as some kind of status symbol, but never really "READ" them. Only maybe to poke a little "intellectual" fun at Russell or Rutherford, but not seeing that what they believe is still the same kind of BullS**t thay they read about in the old books....just a different shade is all. -

need data
by mathead ini am currently doing a mathematical analysis on the remnant population.
(the number of partakers left).
i need the number of remnant for the last 15 years, preferably from the "year book" and the average age of the remnant in 2006. my initial work shows the population figures are tampered with.. i think i can pinpoint what the wts is doing here and how they come up with the figures they do.. thanks for any help here

But as jwfacts points out, there are some that they say are insane, over emotional, unclear as to their calling, BUT they still get counted in the overall figure come memorial night.
The little card that the secretary gets doesn't have a direction as to who to count or not to count, simply asks for the number of partakers.
Rom 8:14 tells clearly who partake: "All who are led by God's spirit, these are God's sons". Don't most JW's feel that they are being led by God's spirit?
Also, for those of us who walk away from the BS, we still feel like we are led too? -

We celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary this week.
by nicolaou inlike most of you we never did the birthday or christmas thing and so over the years anniversary celebrations were grabbed as a real chance to wrap presents, get festive and party.
this habit has carried on and there's a small mountain of shiny gifts all waiting to be torn open on april 5th.
okay, the kids are bit older now (18, 16 & 12) but we all still make a fuss of this one day.. we'll be going out for a slap up meal tomorrow night, just the 5 of us at our favourite curry house.

Congrats man....we clocked up out 20th Anniversary nearly a month ago, and it's nearly a year since we stopped attending too.
We enjoy the free time, to "spend" as we wish. All the best to you and your wife. -

I found this VERY offensive. What about you?

What the article is "really" saying is that the writer aint gettin any and he is skewering his wife with a WT statement. He can then go back home and highlight an interesting article he read in the latest WT [doesn't tell her he wrote it] and says "see what the faithful slave is telling us?" and she has to roll over!!

Ridiculous New System Ideas
by sass_my_frass in... that i've noticed, generated by wbts, include that:.
- everybody's living room has a view to the distant snow-capped mountains, uninhibited by the neighbour's ugly tudor that he knocked together at least forty five millennia ago and wouldn't you think he'd have painted the gables by now?.
- they all visit their friends walking over the unfenced meadows carrying baskets of fruit.

Actually, I wonder why Lions eat grass, when their digestive tract is set up to be a carnivor? They have 10 times as much hydrochloric acid as a human, and very short small and large intestines to speed up the transit time. Did god change them after the flood? and is he gonna change em back after the big A?
I loved the book "the day of the triffids". Sought of reminded me what life would be like after the big A. Not that I have a fetish for blind women! But the soughting through supermarkets and shops and shopping malls and peoples houses seemed like a great idea, finding all the good stuff, handing in to the temple of elder princes and of course giving all the gold and diamonds to the princesses.....[sorry getting off topic, I'll go now] -

Does the Memorial™ generate BIG $ for the WTS?
by Scully ini'd never before thought of this angle for the memorial.
it makes sense though: they get people who have become inactive making an extra effort to show up and maybe donating some "guilt money" to make up for having missed a few months' worth of meetings.
they invite worldly people who perhaps take it for granted that when you go to "church" you drop something in the collection plate, and just automatically drop an offering in the contribution box.

Good point scully.
In all the time I went, i never noticed how many people went near the box. Guilt payments greatly accepted [not greatly appreciated].
Yep, take extra care to count the partakers, and all the attendees, but not too many would count the money, but why wouldn't there be a little extra in the www on that night.
