i would think that a lot of resentment is building up for these for these guys at bethel even though it may not be discussed openly for fear of being abused by the gb in some way.. any way looking at their personality and the extreme phoniness of rubber mouth/face lett, and am#3, and the chicken shit coward leosch who won't even show up in court when subpoena'd to defend his faith or policies, and i'm sure they have many more undesirable traits that repel people instead of attract and that has to work its toll on relationships they have at bethel.. and this shunning thing i'm sure must really erk some at god's house and while they may not be free to voice their discontent i feel it must be building because these guys are complete nincompoops when it come to reality and the only way they know how to give direction is with fear and guilt which i'm sure is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.. and let not forget the issues that are raise when they stole all the congregations savings and the pledge drive for more cash, ban on higher education, lawsuit pay out and etc.... what is this doing to the relation ship they have with legal and accounting i see trouble brewing right thier in the spiritual pair of dice..
I had heard some of these voters were not even JWs. I found this so perplexing.
I want to know so much more about this whole mysterious group.
All those years of studying crazies, of type and antitype, scripture gymnastics of 2,520 years, and prophecy, proving false, first fulfillment and second fulfillment junk. And yet we remained ignorant about WT charity status and its workings. Ugh.
I hope this can be a running thread, or another specific thread of this investigation.
can anyone tell me when the regional convention is being held in kansas city this summer?
I don't see Kansas City ones.
Shows: Independence, MO.
Saint Charles, MO
Springfield, MO.
hello friends during the weekend i was in the san diego regional convention and the number of baptisim was way down.. there were 51 who got baptise thats the lowest number i ever seen, the attendance was 14,000 plus .
thank you antes,, I hope this thread can continue for baptism reporting at these 2015 RCs. Seems with some other RCs reported this summer, that baptisms are very low.
I am wondering about baptisms, are there also "re-baptisms?" Seems there could be a number of young ones baptized, leave JWs,, later returning and stating they really didn't know what they were doing, and request a 're-baptism' now that they have matured and gotten past their wild, worldly stage. ??? anyone know.?

i don't know if i have shared this with everyone, but there seems to be a new theocratic term, at least in my circuit.. the term is "final push.
" wtf does it mean?
well, an eldub said that the gb are "all in" with warwick and they might spend all their money on the project.
watchtower, study edition, september 2015, "are you reaching the stature that belongs to christ?":.
paragraph 6: the mature christian shows humility in that he recognizes that jehovahs ways and standards are always better than his own.
[footnote: for example, older, experienced brothers may be asked to step aside from certain responsibilities and to lend support to younger brothers as they take on those responsibilities.].

7 baptized, 3,000 attendees. Very low (.2%) especially since the WT is tapping into the under 16 age group also.
bullet point #13 is what they want to focus on .

watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.
following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.
along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.
