i keep hearing this from the dubs at work.

have heard complaints about being in bigger congregations.

all i can think at those moments is... "do they even realize they are complaining about "jehovah's" arrangements"?

meetings once a week

meetings once a week is sufficient according to the bible.

in ezekiels tempel vision we get direction to how often meetings should be hold.

ezekiel 46:1,3:this is what the sovereign lord jehovah has said, as regards the gate of the inner courtyard that is facing east, it should continue shut for the six workdays, and on the sabbath day it should be opened, and on the day of the new moon it should be opened.3and the people of the land must bow down at the entrance of that gate on the sabbaths and on the new moons, before jehovah.. a similar thougth you find in isaiah 66:23. an extra meeting once a month could be nice too.. .

Jehovahs Witnesses care for victims of child abuse RELEASE

2. child-abuse
i'm sure this article has come up on the forum.

can any one give me information on the numbers quoted below, in respect to them being inaccurate, correct, or what the number is more like, when you add in jw's that aren't elders, where it seems like they fail to mention here.

it almost seems they try and minimalize the the amount of abuse by only speaking of the elders here.
