i attended a recent ministerial servant k m school on the east coast and the main school instructor mentioned among other things (part entitled: 'objective of the km school course') that the total number of ministerial servants is seriously less than it should be.

in times past the ratio of m ss to elders was much more than it is today.. in the u.s. apparently the total number of elders is 88,500+ as opposed to m ss 65,000. the numbers show & numbers don't lie: the society is running out of spiritual men.

the instructor stated that this is a new downward trend that has (in so many words) the society worried.. the next speaker (part entitled: 'why we must be spiritual men') added that in his years as a traveling servant the pool of m ss has always been much, much larger than it is today.

BUT - Soon, the JW's won't need Elders or MS's;

because Armageddon is just around the corner, any minute now!

Then Jesus and a myriad of Angels are taking over; aren't they?

OR have I misunderstood the situation?

"itsacult".

It doesn't matter how you wrap it up; "IT IS A CULT", and a rotten one at that!

Only cults need to lie about well known facts, SO; "IT IS A CULT".

What was the worst part of the conventions for YOU?

by mochamint22 in

i thought it'd be fun to talk about what part of the conventions just made you cringe or be annoyed with.

i can remember a couple things:.

i remember after the tms when they put the list in the back on the announcement board, there were people that would get up while the last song was being sung to write down the info.

The bit between 'the start' and 'the finish';

Just the same for a '1 day', '2 day', '3 day' or even an '8 day'!

I hated it ALL!

A look at Jehovah's Witnesess ethics

by Hobo Ken in

jw
friends

this post is to expose the unethical, un-scriptural actions of the men involved in the "judicial" processes of jehovah's witneses.

the lack of fair minded impartial justice shown to me during my "judicial" case is a result of what they (the elders) are directed to do by the governing body of jehovah's witnesess.

many people have been through similar and will do again in the future, sadly.

fokyc

The majority of the management side of the Jehovah's Witnesses Organisation have NO ethics;

They are AMORAL; and very good liars.

Quotes from 2010 Watchtower publications

by wannabefree in

this magazine has long been used by "the faithful and discreet slave" as the primary channel for dispensing increased light.

(matt.

24:45) for example, consider our understanding of those who make up "this generation" mentioned by jesus.

What a joke!

Who Was Your Favorite Speaker?

by minimus in

no brag, just fact---i was the most requested speaker in my hall(s), i was often requested to give talks in kh's all over the place, not just in my area.. i personally enjoyed speakers who taught you something, not merely recited something.

we had a district overseer, paul illingsworth, i loved his style.

he delved into bible words of the original greek and hebrew.

fokyc

Eric Beveridge; he is one of the AWAKE writers, gives very good talks with a slide show.

He is a keen nature photographer.
