  'BELIEVE IT OR LEAVE IT' - a long time faders dilemma.

  by nicolaou in

  i've noticed a lot of newbies aren't bothering with long fades from the wt.

  good for them, perhaps this younger, more savvy generation are more comfortable sticking two fingers up to the organisation and forcing their families to make the uncomfortable decisions about associating with them.. i applaud you, you were happy to believe it or leave it.. me?

  i submitted my last field service report more than 11 years ago and have been 'fading' ever since, and i'm sick of it.

  Right Nic, I've found a recording of the talk I referred to:

  Saturday 10:00 Symposium: Kingdom Illustrations —How They Affect Your Ministry - The Dragnet.

  You can download it here and you'll find it at 40 minutes http://www.sendspace.com/file/xu130v

  well from 1st september 2011 anyway!.

  the magazine distribution that has been running in the u.s. where publishers do not have personal magazine orders but collect from a common pile at the back of the kh is to be introduced here.

  in view of the success of the system over the past year it will be introduced to the u.k. as announced this week.. the idea behind the new arrangement is 'to prevent wastage'.. george.

  Can you imagine if someone was to go to the back of the hall, grab the whole lot and walk out?

  I miss my dad and I can't stop crying about it

  by Velour in

  so recently, i've had this urge to write to my father.

  i couldn't quite pinpoint why i would try when i know he wouldn't read it and we aren't even that close.. over the years, before i left, my father and i could not relate to each other and we quit trying.

  he was always so busy writting and preparing for talks.

  I don't think the WTS realizes the extreme hurt that they cause by their doctrine of shunning.

  I think they do. Which makes them utter bastards in my book.

  Growing up a Jehovah's Witness - New Video

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have put together a video - growing up a jehovah's witness 1960 -2010. it aims to show the things a witnesses would be taught as they age over those decades.

  it is 15 minutes long.

  this is my first attempt at a video and it took a while to work out how to use final cut, so please feel free to make suggestions if anything should be changed.

  I liked it. The only thing that I found slightly distracting was when the audio quotes were slightly different to the text on the screen.

  I think this is an important topic, children who are born into this nonsense are the most unfortunate victims.

  Nic, I don't know whether you listened to the sessions linked to by therevealer up there but if so, those were from the 2010 convention not this year's.

  Faders may have a hard time going forward. One of the talks at the convention mentioned a 'culling work' to come in the organization. It was said that this may involve rooting out some who have been 'in the truth' a long time and aren't doing enough and children of witnesses who have failed to make the truth their own. This tells me that one of two things is in the pipeline:

  1. They are going to go public with the fact that the figures on the slide and will use this as evidence that the culling is working.
  2. They are going to make it much harder to be on the periphery of the congregation.
