its true they are always left in the dark, it makes me slightly angry when I chat with them and they plug jwdotorg and I tell them yes I look at it regularly, it tells absolutely nothing about your UN membership, ARC hearing on child abuse cover-ups etc, it stops them in their tracks, hopefully it makes them think outside of the box

Sad Reality...
by JW_Rogue in...is that most jws don't know anything about the financial news that is happening right now.
sure it has trickled down to the elders and those who volunteer for construction but the average jw has no idea.
no one in my hall has said a thing about it.

I went down in the first Round!
by John Aquila inthere is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.
i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.
i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

but that contradicts all their boasting about "speeding up the work, expansion, the celestial chariot moving at speed, preaching in over 200 plus lands etc" if they were to dwindle away to a small minor group none of this could ever be accomplished and they would just be forgotten about or never given a second though by the 7.3 billion of the earth's inhabitants, what about this great "cleaning of the earth at the GT?" surely this could never be very well achieved by a mere few hundred k? -

I keep hearing the "speeding up of the work" they seem obsessed by this phrase when the reality is their work is moving along at a snails pace and has been for years now, their own worldwide reports show this, they are so deluded. "decisions being made that we might not understand" most people with a few brain cells will understand that they are a distressed business and these changes are being made in an act of desperation. -

RAY FRANZ TODAY

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".
