by nmthinker in~2300 in attendance.
one day cost of $16,900!.
this was at romeoville, which was built ground up in the 90's and was fully paid for by the illinois circuits!.

an utter scam, nothing short of theft if the R&F were to pay it, how much can it cost to heat, run A/C and the electric , few hundred dollars? there is no food provided,cleaning, security and stewarding is from voluntary labour, how on earth can it be justified? -

agree very much so perhaps SBF should get himself over to LA or down here to London to take a look, I think we know what we see with our own eyes. -

you keep saying that Mormon growth figures are bogus yet in London and the suburbs and home counties I see far more of them in D2D and in street work, I never ever see jw's banging on the doors any more at all, they just seem to sit on their carts playing with their phones and gossiping, if the Mormons were in rapid decline in the UK no one would really see them at all, I know what I'm looking for as well. The temple near me is packed out to capacity every week as is the other one a few miles the other direction, how can this be Mormon PR or spin when I see it with my own eyes? You should be complementing the CoLDS on their effective canvassing rather then continuing to deny it, as The Girl Next Door says they are doing very well with the 60k missionaries they send out world wide compared to the mess that the WTS make of their life saving message be done by 8 million odd. How do you know that a vast percentage of converts dont attend their church after 6 weeks of conversion? are you monitoring in your locality the footfall of them ? I doubt it, you are probably making these statements up -

Respect to all of you who are / or not jehovah's witnesses
by piledriver indoes it realy matter what religion you follow ?
as just to have a faith or belief in your self is its more important for humanity to survive in these times .
all religions are bad dark secrets bad translations .if there is a god he would never tell you to turn your back on family or frends thats the devils preachings every religion that dictates how to live or spread the gospel acording to the watchtower ways is the devils work your all good people bit mad ( yes ) everyone knows things are bad in this world .

it does really matter because dangerous high control groups like the WTS with their hate filled massage have no place whatsoever in the world today, the destruction they heap upon peoples life's are sometimes beyond words, plus they are very detrimental to peoples mental and physical health, this kind of activism is vital to be able to help the many millions that are escaping, long may it continue. -

Your thoughts on the new Star Wars?
by Coded Logic inso i've thought for a while now that jj has the lowest bar to clear in cinema history.
all he has to do is make a movie that's not as bad as the prequels.
but upon viewing the recent trailers, it looks like he's actually got the "feel" of the originals down.

it an avenue that always perplexes me because their replies are just so wishy washy or i get a blank stare when i ask.. what's you r experience?.

I learned a fair bit about the Bible, its fictional characters and books, I was a zealous Dub eager to learn but it worked against them as my inquisitive nature made me research and find out how much of a fraud it all was. -

they haemorrhage members Stan always have done , over 7.30 billion folks on this planet and they count a paltry few million , pretty pathetic in all honesty, billions on the planet have never heard their pathetic hate filled message fortunately and nor will ever likely to, thank god!
