there was a recent thread on the "quality" of converts to jws in recent years.
it wasn't a pretty picture, based on the thread contents.. well, the lack of depth isn't restricted to new converts.. in our clam this week, one of the principal points for review was this:.
ne 1:1; 2:1—why can we conclude that “the 20thyear” mentioned at nehemiah 1:1 and 2:1 is countedfrom the same starting point?
The quality of Elders has gone down due to the pool they have to pick from.
At least 70% of young ones are leaving before they are 20 so it leaves very few to make up the Elder body.
In my old congro they had an Elder who had clearly smoked to much dope before coming a J.W his talks were painful and all over the place.
The decent older Elders are all worn out or past their used by date an are Elders in name only.

here in the uk new drinking guidelines have been issued which suggest "no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine.".
another piece of the advice which is getting a lot of attention is that "if people drink, it should be moderately over three or more days and that some days should be alcohol-free.".
already people are making cries of "nanny state!
