1st time in 30 years no one Baptized at our Assembly

by James Jack in

at our assembly in alabama, no one got baptized, even though we added 3 congregations to our side in the circuit.

just looked at my wife and said wow.. yet ironically, the regular pioneer ranks have increased 45% in the last 5 years!.

Gayle

Do you think they may stop having baptism program at circuit assemblies and just have the event at annual regionals?

2 ex-jw comedians talk about thier experiences

this was very interesting,,, very hilarious too,,I recommend it,,,it's an hour clip so got to wait till you have the time. Two different guys versions of being raised in JW lives,,one raised a little more liberal than the other. One is more in the know of the organization,, one gives a little more credit to org than the other, tho both are totally out. One speaks with JW mom pretty well yet,,the other doesn't not speak much at all.

I am sure it is in the Bible somewhere about the LDC, Last Days Construction work!??

There is much more enthusiasm and highlight given on this stuff than the boring door-to-door work.

Epic Discussion ( Confrontation ) with JW Cart People about WT Child Abuse

by flipper in

so i had about had enough of reading jw's excuses online about wt child abuse and the candace conti nightline abc video about her case.

this is a really deep burning topic to me as i'm sure it is to many of you.

so today the gloves came off.

Gayle

Thank you so much Flipper. Amazing how you were able to keep your 'cool' demeanor there. I know I wouldn't do so well. Hitting them with this issue, they have no knowledge about it, so no defense. Only agitation! You inspired me to bring it up if JWs come by my house. JWs don't know me from this area but I have told them I used to be a JW years ago (30 yrs. never DF'd). so they haven't come by in a long time.

Except, I came home the other day and a memorial invite was here in the door. I got stirred up again. So, I needed my walk for exercise anyway, so I printed 30 JWFACT.com 'leaflet,' not pamphlet. Just a half sheet of 15 bullets about JWs. So as I did my very snappy walk, I put the leaflet in my block's doors. Many houses still had the "invite" in the door yet. Thought of taking their invites out, but thought better not but they could see them both.

Having those copies of the news media handy with you was great. JWs have to know about this. Especially, if people in the know confront them about it. Now, I am wondering if you or 'JWFacts Paul' or someone could do a leaflet size about this "pedophile" issue as a handout for when JWs come by again, and some to put out at doors when I do a good snappy walk.

To JWs, I would just say, "Do you know about your '2-witness' rule regarding pedophiles in your midst or congregation/organization? You need to be informed!" and hand them a leaflet. They could just tear it up I know, but that question could stir up something and stick in the meantime.

Not all, but a good number would want to know, like that one gal, that stated she wanted to know. If people in their door to door work start bringing this up, it would really impact them on their service days.

Can we verify that Watchtower is on lockdown right now?

by Newly Enlightened in

there is a rumor going around that watchtower is on lockdown right now and the news media parked outside, circling like vultures every since the abc nightline report, is there anyone that can verify it true or not?.

With ABC catching pedo and wife right at their home (had several times prior refused to speak to media) and filming, caused a lot of damage to the WT case. The media trying to get some filmage at the Headquarters would certainly be a goal some way, trying to get reaction of workers (Bethelites) should be expected. For sure, the Bethelites have or are for sure being instructed to not respond to any media currently. ( I worked for a company years ago, involved in a legal dispute, instructed all of us workers not to speak to anyone, media or other.) I suspect there is a lot of tension within Bethel right now.

Yet, this "third eye" concept, his sunglasses, represent some extra enlightenment with the individual, not a JW concept. Special enlightenment is only through the GB, not within the individual JW.

Wiki: The third eye (also known as the inner eye) is a mystical and esoteric concept referring to a speculative invisible eye which provides perception beyond ordinary sight.[1] In certain dharmic spiritual traditions such as Hinduism, the third eye refers to the ajna, or brow, chakra.[2] In Theosophy it is related to the pineal gland.[3] The third eye refers to the gate that leads to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In New Age spirituality, the third eye often symbolizes a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply personal spiritual or psychological significance. The third eye is often associated with religious visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe chakras and auras,[4] precognition, and out-of-body experiences. People who are claimed to have the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known as seers.
