If so, please let me know what part of Queens you were from. I'm trying to track down a family that was JW for 30+ years AND RECENTLY GOT OUT. Thanks in advance for the help.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 06-08-08 WT Study (GUIDANCE)
by blondie ingod's guidance = only the guidance of the wts/fds/gb.
when, though, do we need that guidance?
god's guidance = wts/fds/gb guidance.

After all these years, the WTS is still able to recycle the same subject over and over again. Their topics are so lacking in intellectual challenges.

Meeting for Field service
by wha happened? ini know we have discussed in detail about the end of the book study arrangement.
but how are the congregations going to handle the meeting for field service on saturday morning.
most kingdom halls can barely handle one congregation let alone 3 or 4. i asked a friend of mine who is still active and he had no response.

It's possible that the WTS may emphasize field service on Sunday's instead. Depending on where you live, you'll hardly find a JW in field service. I've been in Ft. Lauderdale Florida for 2 years and NEVER see JWs preaching. Ironically, their KH buildings are enormous and attendance looks healthy. I've seen KHs with as many as 7 congregations in them - but you don't find anyone doing field service on Saturdays.

COs are basically traveling sales managers. They visit each KH in their district to perform audits and see how the sales force is doing. The CO is an EMPLOYEE of the WTS, that is why he gets a paid apartment, and "company" car. His job is to make sure that volunteer sales force is bringing in the money. And of course, the CO is there to collect as many free dinners as he can.

That was incredible. I were a millionaire (or at least well connected), I would get the producer of these videos a CABLE CHANNEL so everyone could see these clips 24 hours a day. Your work is amazing - please keep going!

I am the Faithful and Discreet Slave
by jwblog inwhen i first attended the congregation of jehovahs witnesses i never even thought about whom or what was the faithful and discreet slave.
i do not believe that this information is ever taught to the public directly.
i think you have to be baptised or start attending the same meetings as those that are baptised.. anyway what made all of you adapt the teaching of the faithful and discreet slave (class or whatever)?

If you "read the bible carefully" you'll also notice that God allowed the Israelites to commit genocide. If you think you know your bible explain that to us...

Public Talk & Bookstudy Changes - the real reason
by bud2114 ini havn't been able to keep up with all the discussion in this forum as to why the gb has suddenly decided to implement these changes and perhaps someone has mentioned this already, but to me the most obvious reason has nothing to do with control, or money.
it has everything to do with the serious shortage of qualified brothers who can (or who are willing to) be used.
i have been involved in the organzation for 40 yrs and i have never seen the level of apathy and disillusionment among those serving in some capacity in this organization.

I live in Sunrise, Florida and there is a huge KH about 5 minutes away from me. Supposedly 2 Circuit Overlords live their with their wives. About 3-4 congregations meet there and I guess attendance is so-so because the parking lot appears to be full on weekends. But ask me how many times I've seen ANY JWs out in field service in this part of the world???? NOT A SINGLE ONE. There's people out here who haven't even heard of JWs - hard to believe right? The author of this thread is 100% right, the rank and file JWs are losing faith (and interest) in all of this because hardly any are willing to sacrifice their families anymore for failed prophecies. Some JWs are afraid of leaving because they can't imagine making friends outside of the borg. This was a very good thread. I haven't posted in a looooooong time.

3/08 Awake!: Is There One True Religion?
by Watkins ina dear old jw couple who are like an aunt and uncle to me, sent it in the mail.
the note said, in particularly to my husband, which i thought odd since he's never feigned the slightest interest, ""we thought you'd find pages 3-9 of interest, "is there one true religion".
we both feel that the decision we made (a zillion) years ago in choosing a way of worship was the correct one.

It's hard to believe the WTS is still on that old "true religion" topic despite the child abuse settlements. The WTS acts like no one watches the news or has a web connection.
