this postscript should neither be read to the congregation nor be posted .
on the information board.. .
Please note that beginning in January 2016, publishers’ placements will no longer be reported to the branch office. Neither will video showings be reported. However, in order to monitor congregation activity, placements and video showings should still be recorded in the congregation’s files. Other forms and the appropriate pages on jw.org will be updated in the near future.
What????! No more sending this info to mother?
this is one major reason why i dont try to wake up anyone anymore.
they need to take the first step, and then i will help---- if they ask.
otherwise i just listen and marvel at how some of them think.
ok, specifically he was talking about hitler.
apparently he was asked whether, if he could go back in time, he would kill him when he was a baby.. and he said "hell yeah !".
but still wtf?
Stupid question. Come back to me when you can hop on a time machine. Then we can talk about killing stupid baby Hitler.
We might as well get baby Russell for that matter. :-)
Is this new? I noticed it today:
some fascinating results in the latest pew research.
(how did i miss this before?
) including that jws rely on their religion the most of any group to tell right from wrong and rely on common sense the least.
Educational distribution among Jehovah's Witnesses
High School or less: 63%.
That's how the Borg likes it.
..your experience with the watchtower corporation:.
i'll start...... bully boy elders.
i wanna make a poll here.
how many years do you think the jdub cult will exist as is and what will happen to it?.
i say the growth stops this year and starts to decline.
the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".
7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.
Compare:
"The religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue." From: http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/shunning/
To:
7 A conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped. For example, a sister named Anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother. The mother wanted to visit Anne because she felt pained by her isolation from the family. Anne was deeply distressed by the plea and promised to reply by letter. Before writing, she reviewed Bible principles. (1 Cor. 5:11;2 John 9-11) Anne wrote and kindly reminded her mother that she had cut herself off from the family by her wrongdoing and unrepentant attitude. “The only way you can relieve your pain is by returning to Jehovah,” Anne wrote.—Jas. 4:8.
Straight fro the horse's mouth.

wrongdoing and unrepentant attitude.
pain
If "Anne" and and her mother exist, and is not a fabrication a la "Andre" style, I would like to know:
What did Anne's mother did to be judge as "wrong" and "unrepentant".
Also, Is jaw-dropping that a so-called christian religion find pleasure in giving PAIN to its former members.
This is a fucki** cult!
i keep thinking about the time i will "come out" and tell my wife about this sick cult.
i don't know when that day will come, but knowing me i will seat down with her and ask her for 5 minutes to explain to her why we as a family has to get out.
my question is: what will you tell somebody in 5 minutes, that will convince that perdon that this is not a good religion to follow and that we have been deceived?.
bohm, thanks for the book suggestion. I will look into it. Is true in the sense that everybody is different.
Lett will show up in your dreams. And he will be nude.
Oh the horror!!!
