  have you been lurking for months, perhaps years?

  think of what you have learned in that period.

  elders, how do you hold it it in.

  What were the best Watchtower years?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during what period of time did they have some credibility and were they most active and making the most money?.

  around here, when i joined back in 1987, there were so many pioneers in the congregation and they were in the field service morning, afternoon and evening.

  that lasted about 5 years, then it was a quick and steady decline in field service and a decline in building new halls.

  Say You're a Bethelite & Monitoring JWD - How Would You Feel About THESE??

  by Seeker4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm talking about the new posters, like kitten whiskers, who started posting today (hope this works: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/120817/1.ashx).

  and it seems like we're getting a few like this nearly every day.

  people who were raised jws, really worry that they are doing the right thing in leaving, yet who have been made to feel not good enough by the wts, who felt they never measured up, who struggled with it, but came to realize that what they'd been brought up to believe was just not the truth.. the same stories are told over and over again, and they come from sincere, good people - not whiny, fault-finding apostates like the rest of us riffraff around here!
