2019 service report is out

by slimboyfat in

the 2019 report is out:.

https://download-a.akamaihd.net/files/media_publication/29/syr19_e.pdf.

the “average publisher” figure for individual countries has made a comeback!

Brazil and Mexico need to see their numbers slashed--I notice Latin America is growing the fastest outside Nigeria. This could lead people to start pushing learning of Spanish (for Mexico), Portuguese (for Brazil), or French (for many African countries where French is spoken). Get them to where the growth is still there before the Internet catches up with them.

Anyone wish to pull that rubbish on me, to get me to help them? Not only will I not lift a finger, but none of those countries with big growth speak German. Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are all experiencing barely any growth. I can only hope the other xian churches, notably the cat lick church, along with judaism and islam, all collapse along with the jokehovian witless religion.

At any rate, I wonder how much longer they can go on propping up those fake numbers. They can only turn in so many fake time slips. If they needed to be in a condition where, if Armageddon were to come right now, they would be assured of survival under their current theology, the numbers would probably be well under 800,000.

Latest Circuit Assembly Money Assault!

by eyeuse2badub in

probably not new to many of you but i'm gonna post it anyway!.

i went to a circuit assembly last week at the fremont, ca assembly hall in fremont, ca to be with my wife so she could be there to 'witness' the baptism of a person she "studied" with about 2 decades ago!.

at the main entry to the assembly hall there are 3 or 4 large double door entrances.

They have a donation arrangement, and I intend to take advantage of it by donating exactly what they deserve. Which is nothing.

Big elders meetings?

by road to nowhere in

i hear of whole circuit meetings being held, taking all day.

maybe just usual yearly stuff, but it seems the local elders immediately held a followup.

i am sure it will be about better local control, more charity, kindness, that sort of thing.

WTWizard

More charity? Kindness? Misplaced charity and kindness leads to abuse. If they know they can do anything they want to you and there will be no consequences, they will abuse it every time. As for being kind to the hounders, I would rather be kind to rats and mice than to many of those parasite hounders. (Rats and mice are commensals, not parasites.) And I would show no mercy for someone that intentionally set out to ruin my life, no matter how "repentant" they claimed to be.

And, if they come to me with that line of rubbish, I hope they know absolutely no German, because I will tell them in German what I think of it (the best German I can--and I am still working on improving it). I will simply pledge to give nothing to them, and if they shove any more pledge forms in my face for any reason, I will write on it in German that I will give them absolutely nothing, and that is final.

Cost to build a hall and the lies of the cult

by JimmyYoung in

i was listening to a podcast on cost to build a hall and there was a brother from the stage saying it costs the cult half a million to build a hall.

lol its bs.

there is no fing way that it cost the cult a half million to build a hall.

WTWizard

It is plausible--if the dollar becomes toilet paper. Using the values at the time of this statement, it would have to be a very big building. And they are known to lie about their costs so they can bring in more candy money as donations.

Such as lying about its costing any 5-figures to run an a$$embly, in their own building, with some 600 in attendance for each day. Since when do you get a 5-figure utility bill? And they are boasting about respecting the place? Even a worldly sporting event costs less per session to host (minus the cost of the teams involved, which is most of the cost) despite extra cleanup work (from all the food and beer) and rowdy fans that are not exactly gentle on the venue. With the jokehovians having so many rules against this, wouldn't that be relatively gentle on things? Then where do they come up with these five-figure per day costs to run it?

overpopulation

by JimmyYoung in

i am seeing a lot of videos and articles on this issue.

that its a myth the idea of overpopulation.

i was listening to a talk radio speaker ben shapiro i like to as i work through the day.

We have too many people that are just plain idiots. They are here just so they can serve as slaves for "god's chosen", without offering too much resistance while the reptilians eventually move in on us. We lack those who actually have common sense--these all have to die in stupid wars or get suppressed to death so the idiots can dominate.

And then we get people like Bush, Osama/Obama, and KILLary in positions of power so we all get silenced or killed off if we are too smart.

What Will Happen To President Trump In Your Opinion?

by minimus in

jw
friends

he has been “impeached “.

will he be convicted in the senate?

is he so “damaged goods” that he is ineffectual?

WTWizard

Give him a fair trial. And then they should go to each and every one of those idiots that want us paying endless reparations of every sort so our planet can be home to reptilians, and start impeaching them. This goes for all the judges that find these items "constitutional". According to which constitution? It also goes for all those who are holding up prosecution for all those who are corrupt--including CEOs of the big banks that are holding our world hostage. And why not impeach the whole Fed?

As imperfect a president we have now, it can only be much worse with someone like KILLary or Pelosi in charge.

Joyeux Noel

by Vanderhoven7 in

merry christmas everyone!.

our entire family got together this morning to celebrate christmas.

i started by reading luke 2, the shepherds story.

WTWizard

And so what if Christmas is actually a sun-worship festival, and "Christ" in fact references the Sun? Without the sun, we wouldn't be here at all.

Should't they cancel their meeting tonight?

by carla in

i find it kind of amusing that as worldly people who pass by a kh and know nothing of jw's tonight will think that the jw's are having a christmas eve service.

many churches have a number of services tonight; children's program, family/christmas eve service and maybe a midnight candlelight service.. you know how some jw's won't even wear red between nov & dec lest anybody think they are celebrating the holidays?

well then, shouldn't they cancel tonight's meeting so nobody thinks they are doing their own christmas eve service?

WTWizard

They never cancel a boasting session for a holiday. That would amount to "celebrating it", even though they put on the appearance. Having a Tuesday evening boasting session the day before Christmas is something they happily do, regardless. I remember having a book study one Christmas Eve, spending the night with one of the hounders, and was saved from Christmas Day field circus only when we got enough snow that the father had to work that day. Everyone else went to the big waste of money hall (a$$embly), wasting that day.

I also remember that time we had a Sunday boasting session on Christmas Day and the following New Year's Day. It was just another day, and they did have field circus after (I had to work New Years Day, and declined field circus Christmas Day after the boasting session). To me, that is a fine waste of a holiday. Not to mention, Thanksgiving Day always featured an evening boasting session because it was on a boasting session night.

Nice way to a dreary Christmas.

Worldly holidays

by road to nowhere in

if they announce anything any more ( my hall doesnt even announce funerals, only judicial stuff and letters from mom) they say something like: "tomorrow is a worldly holiday so..... ".

we all know it is christmas or whatever.

and most of us do have a day off, ( needed) the smart ones who are able will work for the double time and fewer bosses around.

WTWizard

It is a complete waste of time. You go out and see everyone enjoying their holiday while you can't do any of it. Instead, you waste the time when everyone is at home, and you disrupt their holidays for nothing. Usually, they are not interested or will happily waste 15 minutes discussing jesus in such a way that it goes nowhere.

And it is worse for children getting dragged out in field circus on Christmas. They go to door after door seeing others enjoying their presents, having their sun-worship tree lit up, and having fun while they are stuck going in field circus. Usually, they are stuck out all day, and it is a drudgery at best. If they run into classmates, it can be a big embarrassment as well. All the while, they get nothing for Christmas--not even the proverbial coal.

They claim that Christmas is stressful? How stressful is it to go out preaching to everyone, watching them enjoying their holiday, and knowing that they will never do the same? How bad is it to see others going out and having fun, while all they do is waste their time in the same areas they go around day in and day out? And there are boasting sessions, business as usual, on these holidays.

At least they get to go out at 9:30 instead of the usual 9 on holidays.

The Craziness of an Average Bible Study

by Number 6 in

last week i posted a thread asking about who knew any "real anointed" and got some cracking replies.. that got me to thinking, as someone brought up in the 70's and 80's in the watchtower religion, my experience of bible studeis in their homes and those who made it to the hall were mostly batshit crazy or at least people with some serious quirks.. i'll relate a few, none of whose names i remember with any clarity.. in our cong we had an older couple who were from london, but who had been in the 1950's in the circuit work in the mid west usa.

they brought along some woman one night they had started a study with who told everyone cheerfully she was a recovering alcoholic and this was her cure (coming to the meetings).

this went on for a few weeks until one night they brought her to the memorial and she was royally pissed, and i mean barely able to stand; and went up to the platform table and necked some wine.

WTWizard

Coming to boasting sessions a cure for alcoholism? I don't think so. There are meditations one can do that would help with that, but Abrahamic religions have destroyed or corrupted them so they do not work. (At the direction of the reptilian race, I might add.)

All we have today is those meetings from AA to help alcoholics stay away from booze. It is not a cure (then again, because the reptilians really run this planet, cures are not allowed for anything including a simple headache), but it is far better than any washtowel boasting session. In fact, at the astral level, Christi-SCAM-ity is only going to make it worse.
