The wording seems very tame and ambiguous.
i can't believe that nearly three years have passed to simply get to this stage.
Its not as if it isn't an urgent and pressing matter.

Watchtower let off the hook by the UK charities commission
by jambon1 insay what they like, but it's a definite withdrawal of pressure.
the commission is slow, needlessly protracted and inconsiderate of the extent to which ongoing damage is being carried out.. scrap it.

Some apostates are coming across as crazed psychopaths
by jambon1 ini'm not sure whether or not my view on this is correct so please leave your input.
in recent months i've been viewing youtube videos.
again, it might just be my view but there has been an increased amount of random people grabbing a camera and doing vlogs.

In recent months I've been viewing YouTube videos. Again, it might just be my view but there has been an increased amount of random people grabbing a camera and doing vlogs. Some are viewed by pretty low numbers. Some are morr popular. I understand how it is very easy (logistically) to participate in this kind of activism.
However, some people are coming across very badly. Extremely angry. Bitter. Challenging witnesses at the carts and making an absolute mess of it by getting angry and eventually being moved on by police, etc.
This isn't good.
It only goes to reaffirm JW's view of those who oppose their former religion and actually negates any genuine and accurate points that are raised. JW's will simply roll their eyes and move on from such material, even perhaps being put off from looking at the more reasonable and balanced videos.
I get anger. I understand it. I've experienced it. But you'll lose the argument every time by acting like a crazy, obsessed maniac.

Just a dumb question. A minor was df in our cong 15 yrs old
by poopie inthe question is can her mother and father who are witnesses greet her in the morning only or would they be a sharer in her wicked deeds and thus also be df for saying a greeting?.

The fact that it even needs to be questioned is utterly embarrassing for JW's.

2017 Yearbook released
by bohm ini saw this on reddit:.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/5mlgsm/2017_yearbook_of_jehovahs_witnesses/.
overall the numbers are better than last year (1.8% growth compared to 1.5% last year -- as i predicted ;-) ) with an increase in all major figures including 1300 more congregations (i assume this is not physical kingdom halls?).

I always wonder what prompts the memorial attendance increases. World events?
As for the partakers - it's utterly laughable. When I left ten years ago there were 8500 max partaking.
Batshit mentalists.

The JW governing body are all overweight, creepy looking little men
by jambon1 inhaving seen a few of these tv productions and some youtube clips of their assembly parts, how can jehovah's witnesses really take these silly little men seriously?.
you take one look at them; their overweight, fat little bodies.
their entirely shabby, overhanging suits.

Fukitol - I think the point is about how the GB are viewed. Boards of directors of companies are generally looked down upon and despised.
The governing body is supposed to be looked up to and adored.
I believe now that the veil has fallen that people can see them now as the bland and strange little men that they are.
Previously, you'd be lucky to see them on a page in the yearbook.

SCOTLAND: Livingston Kingdom Hall
by darkspilver ini think this deserves it's own thread, so as not to get mixed-up tl;dr - go to the bar charts at the end...picking up on jambon1's comments:.
the one in the op - livingston, was a merge to the newly built assembly hall in the same area.
i think three congs share that building now.. nice wee scoop up of the cash from the sale of livingston and whitburn.

Witnesses in the area are hyper-materialistic.
I still don't understand where the money came from for the assembly hall. I get the impression the local congs have subscribed to pay certain amounts regularly?

Nice wee scoop up of the cash from the sale of Livingston and Whitburn. Having said that, these aren't desirable areas and they'll not sell for very much money. Also, they've probably spent a great deal on the new assembly hall. One wonders how that cash was raised.

Having seen a few of these TV productions and some YouTube clips of their assembly parts, how can Jehovah's Witnesses really take these silly little men seriously?
You take one look at them; their overweight, fat little bodies. Their entirely shabby, overhanging suits. Their weird obsessive manner of speaking about life which is so far removed from reality it's actually scary. Their psychotic, over exaggerated facial expressions.
All of that, topped by what seems to me to be classic small penis syndrome - throwing their authority around as if it actually means shit to anybody other than the rank and file JW's.
Their cringey, cult like persona is now in full view for the world to see. The veil has been lifted. It astonishes me that anyone takes them even remotely seriously.
