is this a case of pot calling kettle black?.

Exactly. The religions (ALL OF THEM) gladly take their tax free status yet have the nerve to say things like this?

Due to Ongoing Concern about Dwindling Meeting Attendances, IS THE BOOK STUDY ARRANGEMENT GOING TO BE RE-INSTATED NEXT YEAR?

i have some family and friends still in the organization.

i don't actively seek updates - my lovely contacts provide me with them unsolicited.

so far the updates have been reliable and confirmed sooner or later by subsequent developments.

Some folks may miss it but in most congregations (at least in the US) it was by far the most poorly attended meeting. In the hall I was in when it was discontinued, the attendance was around 75% of publishers where as the MS/TS was closer to 90% with the Sunday meetings being a little over 100% (remember the kids too young to be publishers are also in attendance).

My guess he was a JW by the description. I'm sure they'll be more info that comes out. What a terrible thing to have happened to this little girl.

Rebuttals:"Wait on Jehovah"

by Emery in

ok i think most of you at some point have come across the apologetic saying "wait on jehovah" from jws whenever an injustice occurs in the organization.

many have also used this expression to abandon evidence against the "truth".

this has easily become one of my biggest pet peeves now since speaking to others about ttatt.
