  I can't wait to hear the spin that the Society is going to put on this one. I bet they've called an emergency session to work on how to deal with this latest bit of attention.

  last week during the public talk on sunday (no one from the public was there), the speaker.

  was criticizing or making fun of the catholic church for having law suits and paying out large.

  cash settlements due to pedofiles who were priest.. what really honks me off is that jw's don't even know the problems that the wtbts has with.

  Jehovah's Witnesses have a way of looking at everyone else but themselves. I remember a scripture in where it says that befre we worry about the splinter in someone else's eye, we should remove the limb from our own. Interesting how Witnesses are always pointing the finger at everyone else and forgetting that there are three more fingers pointing back at them.

  does anyone know the stats on how many leave?

  my mother told me that only 87,000 got baptized last year.

  it seems to me that more would have left then that.

  I mean no disrespect to your mother or family, but they should be glad that you are not in prison or anything like that. A person's character is not defined by whether or not they attend meetings at the Kingdom Hall. The fact that you are a free thinker speaks a lot about you.

  Welcome to the board.

  i haven't missed a memorial since i started attending over 50 years ago.

  tonight i was expecting the hall to be jambed as usual.

  i sat in the 5th row from the front and from where i sat, i could see 31 empty seats--there may have been more.

  I didn't go this evening... but I can imagine that the attendance is down. The congregation that usually invites my family, usually meets in a large place. Tonight, they had the Memorial at the local Kingdom Hall instead.

  The GB and Field Service Activity

  by karnage in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking... does the members of the governing body participate in field service?

  if these are men who are to take their place in heaven with jesus christ, then shouldn't they be the ones fearlessly leading the charge?

  when jesus was here on earth, his disciples went on to preach about him long after jesus had died.

  I remember when it was said in the meetings that after a time, the message of getting people to come to know about Jehovah will end, and the message of death will begin at a certain time. Interesting how they never pointed out just when that time would occur. I can just see it now, the R & F will be out telling people that they are going to die at the end of the system of things, and the GB will sit back in their posh little offices at the Society.

  Blondie, I always enjoy reading your comments. They are so well thought out and researched. I remember you saying that you used to be at one of the Watchtower locations for awhile. It amazes me even to this very day as to how everything with the Watchtower Society is do as I say... not as I do.
  
  I just find it interesting as how it is constantly talked about in congregations about going from door-to-door, yet, the society cannot follow their own rule. Even the GB find a way to exclude themselves from this activity.
