Maybe you should remind him that he is stealing from his employer. You will actually be doing him a favour, so he does not get so much indoctrination at the meetings. -

What they dont say if it is true, is that JWs will do the same, as they often have things they dont want to tell others honestly.

CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...
by JW_Rogue inat the latest co visit something very strange happened.
during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.
upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

If we look at the graph on jwfacts we can see that although bible studies have a healthy growth rate over the years, the actual number of baptised has stayed about the same for the past twenty five years.lol

Now that they no longer print the Kingdom Ministry, they have taken the opportunity to drop the field service highlights from the new workbook. It was really getting a joke. USA edition would say something like a 10% increase in pioneers in some remote island somewhere with 100 publishers. Certainly nothing of any substance. -

Why doesn't God need a creator, while the Universe does?
by Bloody Hotdogs! ini asked this question of a jw that called on me yesterday: "if the universe requires a creator, why doesn't god?
if the universe must have a beginning, why doesn't god?
he claims to have an answer, but it must wait for next time he calls.. i'm hoping you guys can give me a heads-up as to what he will say.

Yes for JWs, it is a very simple question. They will just say that God has always been, and just like the concept of time and space, he has no beginning and no end.When I was a JW I would ask a householder where time and space began and where and when would they end. Most people cant answer that, so JWs just say it is the same with God, our brains simply cant understand those concepts. -

that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

Once again Watchtower got it wrong.
Six Convincing Lines of Evidence” that we are in the Last Days. … Sixth, the number of genuine anointed disciples of Christ is dwindling, though some will evidently still be on earth when the great tribulation begins. Most of the remnant are quite elderly, and over the years the number of those who are truly anointed has been getting smaller.” (Watchtower 2000 Jan 15 p.13)

Do they notice who no longer gives donations?
by onightdivine inbecause i haven't put in a single dime for over a year now in the box at the kh.
the usual custom is to put money in there right after the meetings.
but heck, i already spend so much in car fuel just to attend - i don't care really if the gb starves and dies.. oops.. anyway, do the elders take note who's donating and who's not?.
