What went wrong in your congregation?

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

the target is converts.. why does it seem such an outrageous aim for a congregation to recruit new converts?.

in my old congregation, the enthusiasm was there but the knocking on doors produced zero " baptisms" in my final years.. a) why so little interests?.

b) was it the internet ?.

Special deal - get yer specialized adapted iPads here - only £800. What does this wonderful provision from Jehovah have to offer?

Instent access to jehovahborg.org

Call the elders app with integrated video streaming for any wrongdoing.

Automatic upload of monthly activity to the COBE, including GPS location.

Every internet search will be recorded to help our brothers and sisters. Any suspicious activity will be detected thus alerting a local elder to visit you to give loving council.

Oh how happy are we to have this provision from Jehovah. Jehovah's people previously had the understanding that Moses had stone tablets (insert scripture here) today it is evidently clear that Moses had IPads (insert out of context scripture here from the revised bible) leading us to believe it was indeed Jehovah created this wonderful tool.

Looking for co's in the uk

by Super ted in

hi.

so i knew quite a few co's but have lost contact as i moved abroad.. does anyone know where anton irons is now ... he was a great guy.

talked sense..

Oh oh I know one!!! F-ing Tony Cain. Absolute arshole of a guy who made our families life hell. Before becoming a CO he was a watchtower troubleshooter. And we had the misfortune of him "sorting" the congregation down in Lancashire I was in at the time!

Has the Great Witness Trolley/Cart campaign produced ANY results?

by freddo in

i live between two cities that are big enough to have their own metropolitan trolley cart arrangements organised at circuit level.

the 3 congregations at the hall i attend have trolley schedule noticeboards.

i see trolleys in the high streets and markets locally.

When I was still in the troly dollies were still new (ish). The report from the visiting CO was in one day alone 21000 books were published in Greater London..Apparently (get this) London JWs on that day had published more books than the whole of America!

Me being the indoctrinated fully in believed this and was sooooooo proud to be in the one true (cough...bullshit) religion. Now I'm fully out (yay) I kinda look at this proclamation the way I do with just about everything this cult proclaim. It usually starts with a rather rude four letter word and ends with eyes being rolled!

What went through your mind when you saw this Picture?

by John Aquila in

The revelation book really takes the biscuit when scrutinizing the artwork. Some of the illustrations were created by a 3 year old in my opinion. When this book was first released, wasn't it billed as a book full of beautiful colorful illustrations?

Has anyone had a look at the picture with Jesus and his chums smashing the earthen vessels, you know, the one with the claw hand? Take a look at it and look how disproportionately angled some of his chums heads are!

New Kingdom Halls

by panhandlegirl in

what's with all this new kingdom hall building?

just watched jw broadcasting about their master plan for building new kingdom halls.

sounds like a big deal.

username

There have been reports (here too) where the watchtower have took all moneys saved by the rank and file to build a new KH only for it to be sent o the watchtower on the promise that they will look into building new facilities. Once the watchtower grabbed the money they refused the application to build a new KH!

I wish there was something that could be done about this because its nothing short of stealing!

Ganged up via Telephone

by vinman in

i've been fading for about 9 months.

the elders know exactly why.

i received a phone call a couple of days ago.

username

I love stories like this, elders are no longer revered as they used to be. I had a similar experience to you. I actually chucked a couple of elders out my house because of one deciding to get shirty with me!

Taken from pro JW forum

by username in

now this is embarrassing.. after being cold in the truth for many, many years, and getting back some 2 years ago, my wife and i, decided to auxiliary pioneer last year during the memorial campaign.

we were quite impressed that we made the 30 hrs.. last month, we decide to do it again.

after handing in our application forms, and being approved, our service overseer asks me, "how many hours are you going to do?".

username

Following on from my post........

........"It was good that your Service Overseer asked you beforehand how many hours you were going to do. Otherwise you would have ended up doing 30 hours (unknowingly) and it would have been more embarrassing to you that you could not complete your auxiliary pioneering. Jehovah helps."

........HUH???

Take the Kingdom back to Mexico!

by John Aquila in

if donald trump wins the presidency, about 90% of the jws in my area will have to go back to mexico.

the watchtower will be having a fire sale on kingdom halls.

if trump became president and he followed through on his policy of sending back undocumented immigrants, would that affect the jws publisher numbers big time in the united states?

username

Absolutely nothing to worry about. There is no way Trump will be president. There is a Bush and a Clinton in the race so its pretty much a done deal. I'm not even American and can see the bullshit for what it is lol!
