Let's see ,take the amount of local elders ,divide it by the amount of elders wives discontent with their husbands ,add the publishers who don't do it at home but cover it only when they go out in field service group ,deduct the amount of publishers who put in bloated field service reports ,deduct those who say they do on the platform but don't actually do it ,add the arse kissers reaching out notably ,yep I reckon you're pretty close .............

How would the Society give up 1914?
by donny induring the 1930's when the society was quietly moving jesus' presence from 1874 to 1914, it only seemed to ruffle a few feathers and most accepted this "brighter light.
" how could the society abandon 1914 and still keep most of its followers?

De- emphasizing the generation that must pass away before the big A would come and making it open ended has just about done it. I started in the early 70's and the strong teachers of 1914 and the gen that will soon pass were many and fairly fluent in giving the WTS spiel ,but over the years less and less capable teachers were around .I always had to remind myself of the teaching to be able to convey it to all my students over the years and found some would come to me to go on their studies to try to explain the teachings to the students because I sincerely believe they did'nt understand it enough to be able to teach it! And I bet today that the teaching is made alot softer and without the emphasis it used to have years ago ,as it was THE primary teaching ,especially in the student study books ,but now other things would be given more emphasis ,hence a dulled down R & F that is really just ready to follow the GB coz it's mentally easier to do rather than study up.

Name something that JWs believe in that isn't in the Bible
by Awakened at Gilead inmy favorites are:.
"paradise earth": not in the bible.
"great crowd" of "other sheep" - two unrelated texts... put them together, and voila!, you just changed the destiny of millions!.

It's OK for Elders wives to wear denim but not a brother even iff neatly pressed to meetings. Deut: 22 v25-27 JW believe that 2 or 3 witnesses are required for a sexual crime committed on a woman ,but the bible shows differently !

Why such boring & canned answers at the WT Study?
by navytownroger inback in th 1980s, the answers at the watchtower study & the book study seemed much more interesting.
more personal experiences that somehow related to the question being asked.
nowadays it seems all answers are just repeated from the text, or consist of reading a bible verse.

Some years ago when my non JW mother stayed over she came to the Sunday meeting with us . Everyone was giving the usual paraphrased or exactly word for word answers to the Watchtower ,and I answered once in my own usual way elaborating to make my answer more interesting . Suddenly my mother leaned across to me and asked " I liked your answer ,but why are the rest just parroting what's in the magazine ?" I did'nt know what to say but as our eyes met we both knew why ,she was very well educated ,studied philosophy, phschology etc and used to be a Mormon ,another American religion.

Why Is Drug Use So Rampant In The US?
by hamilcarr ina recent study published in plos medicine investigated drug use throughout the world.
this study presents novel data on the epidemiology drug use from representative, cross-national samples representing all regions of the world.
clear differences in drug use existed across the regions of the world, with the us estimated to have among the highest levels of both legal and illegal drug use among all countries surveyed.

Hi Hamil , Just thinking that it's odd that a country has a strong religious conscience and yet huge drug,gun and other problems. Could it be a moral breakdown due to too much freedom seen as a right instead of a privelege?

I think another relevent question is why does gun use seem so rampant in the US? I think this is related. It's strange too that the US has a high proportion of religious believers
