  The meek and lowly who own pitbulls will inherit the earth- that sounds scriptual to me.

  very sad, I hope they recover. - I remember a few years ago when a carload of 4 JWs near Dallas slid off the road and flipped into a lake on a Saturday morning- all of them died or drowned in the accident.

  Need Help: What Would You Try to Tell Current JW's?

  by daringhart13 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been journaling a lot the past couple of years....it was recommended to me by a therapist when my anger was boiling over.. so recently i decided to start an exercise: what would you tell them if they would listen?.

  i've started listing my top 10 and it's interesting......i'm over all of the doctrinal insanity.....i'm forever indebted to the more scholarly among us that have put so much effort into research, writing, etc.!!!.

  mine all focused on more 'human' subjects....emotions, pain, etc.

  Memorial Invites from Door to Door?

  by NeonMadman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is this the first year that the jws have been out aggressively handing out memorial invitations from door to door?

  i've been out for about 12 years now, but as i recall, congregations used to receive a relatively limited number of memorial invitations, and they were pretty much reserved for bible studies, good rvs, inactive persons, and others who had some sort of connection to the organization.

  they were not just randomly handed out from house to house - that was what the "special talk" invitations were for.. it occurs to me that this might be an attempt by the wts to pump up the memorial attendance so as to maintain the illusion of continued growth.

  JW, be careful who you invite-- they might ruin the party.

  Are the Witnesses Really Losing Their Young People?

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  that article about jehovah's witnesses having the lowest retention rate for born ins keeps popping up every now again ... i'm just curious if any of you have noticed that this is actually the case.

  in the congregation that i grew up in, i'm going to say that 95% of the young people in their teens to mid twenties are either regular pioneering, regular auxiliary pioneering, serving in foreign language congregations or where the need is greater.

  both of my younger sisters are regular pioneers - and the young people in their hall even organize 8 pm to midnight service on friday nights of their own accord.

  All this digital information will be the undoing of the WT-- more and more Witnesses will hear something in the meeting that doesn't sound right - and they will use their cellular data-enabled tablet to immediately do some quick research-- before they would have forgotten all about it 2 hours later when the got home.
