a bethelite was telling me that there are 83,000 theocratic facilities world wide.
he compared that to 35,000 mcdonalds and 21,000 starbucks roughly to show the size of the theocratic organization.
i am not sure where the 83,000 comes from what would he be counting?

Yet, McDonald's and Starbucks don't need to send agents door-to-door or have litteratrash trolleys blocking the flow of traffic to try to drum up new business.
i went to the meeting last night.
to keep the peace for now, i guess.
anyway...... during the bible highlights, a newly appointed ms explained why construction is being curtailed in some areas.
The explanation was to be found in 1 Chronicles where David went through all the work of preparing materials for the temple, but was then informed that he would not be the one to build it.
It would be reasonable to conclude then that the current GB 2.0 is the Greater David and will be followed by the next GB 3.0 which will be the Greater Solomon. This Greater Solomon GB will build cities and palaces, marry the daughter of Pharaoh and 700 other wives. This GB will also have 300 concubines for when things get slow with the wives, because Jehovah made him extra wise on figuring out these things. But then these wives will draw the Greater Solomon GB's heart away from Jehovah so that they begin worshiping other gods.
there is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.
first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".
he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".
Is he married?
Maybe you should start texting his wife to check on her meeting attendance and spiritual activities?
wanted to say hi.
i've been lurking for a long time.
i also spend time on other forums.
Welcome!
Always room here for more of the Awakened!
dear anthony morris, iii:.
i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?
one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.
From what I remember about Morris’ stupid talk, I think that he must have been referring to some kind of exercise pants, like some sort of tight jogging pants or “yoga pants” – which would make more sense, because I couldn’t imagine anyone going out jogging in a suit such as Chris Pine was wearing in those photos.
ToMo condemned both women that wear tight exercise clothing in public and "young fellas" that wear "tight pants".
Repeatedly he condemned women wearing yoga pants or Spanx in public and claiming to be JWs. Which is kinda ignorant because Spanx is mostly undergarments that I think a lot of sisters would like. Maybe they make some outerwear. But the yoga tights he's talking about is more like Lululemon. For example, here is a picture of a sister in lululemon tights running away from ToMo and a judicial committee:
When he talked about "young fellas" that wear tight pants, otherwise known as tight pants (whatever he meant by that), something like this might come to mind as his "too tight" example:
But we all know that when it comes to JWs judging others dress and grooming, some like ToMo are far more interested in judging the outward appearance rather than looking for the good in hearts. Because when he talked about pants being designed by homosexuals, he was opening the door to condemn any brothers that wear any flattering clothing that might be perceived as physically attractive. After all, sisters are supposed to only be attracted to an MS pioneer in an oversized polyester suit that he got at Goodwill.

So those pants that Chris Pine is wearing is what he is talking about? I don't get what is wrong with them, am I missing something where are they tight. What about thin brothers you cant stick them in big pants they would look stupid. Do you think he fell over & banged his head?
There are tighter pants to be found on guys, but this is the type. No pleats, and probably have a good cut making the backside look good. The jacket is broad in the shoulders and narrow in the waste. When a guy has a good build, shouldn't he wear a suit that compliments it? Nope. A suit should make you look like a preacher... like ToMo3!
And what qualities in a suit jacket and pants does ToMo3 need? Not tight! Not something that shows the underlying shape of his body underneath. For ToMo, the waist is going to be bigger than the shoulders, so the jacket needs to be voluminous, hiding the underlying shape of the body as much as possible. And the pants need to be roomy enough to make the legs look bigger, or he'll look like an egg trying to balance on toothpicks. And in the front, pleats give that roominess and act like closed curtains so there is no suggestion of genitalia. Similarly, the back side of the pants need to be roomy and just hide whatever is there, whether it's fat or flat.
What ToMo3 said is stuff I'd heard often enough over the years in bethel. Before "metrosexual" the suits were called "European cut". Basically, the old fat dudes didn't want the young fit dudes to look good.
just received two emails .
recently, it was announced that the warwick whq project will be completed by september 1, 2016. with a little less than 10 months left to go on the project, the construction project committee recently met with representatives from all eleven warwick construction groups throughout the u.s. the purpose of this meeting was to determine what can be done to more effectively continue the wonderful progress being made.
as a result, it has been determined that, for the duration of the project, all warwick construction groups will focus on sending experienced, skilled tradespersons who have regularly worked in their trade(s)in a secular environment.
brandnew: Im a very skilled crane opperator, been for 16 years.....and would never fire up a crane for the watchtower.
How about a crane with a wrecking ball?
the watchtower organization resists the idea that its workforce is comprised of employees.
instead it promotes the idea that these individuals comprise a family.
yet recently there is a directive that smacks a totalitarian tendency.

He said he asked 'sister after sister' if they found that look APPEALING, ATTRACTIVE on a brother, and they 'apparently' said 'NO'.
I think the sisters misunderstood the question. They assumed he was asking if the fitted suit and careful grooming would make HIM appealing and attractive. Frankly, the sisters would only find ToMo3 attractive if he was cleaning and mopping their house... with a bag over his head.
If a brother walked into their Kingdumb Haul looking like Chris Pine, how many sisters would say they find his fitted suit and tight pants unappealing and unattractive?
that is what the speaker said in his public talk this morning.
JWs are the fastest invisible growth religion.
And their preaching work is speeding up invisibly, too.
From the visible evidence I've seen, they're just a few people that stand next to litteratrash carts looking bored. People walk past them like they are invisible. That's what I saw yesterday.
