not heard of him but I'm all ears sounds an interesting chap, CO's in the UK during the 1960's were definitely slightly different , would love to hear more of him, I remember Denis Ashby and Phillip North, I wonder whatever happened to them both?

Non-JW notices the D-to-D drop off

by careful in

an interesting link that notes how jw (and mormon) door-to-door evangelism has dropped off:.

the aussie writer notices that instead they have "set up a stall in the carpark at the supermarket.".

I haven't seen them in my neighbourhood for well over a year and I'd spot them straight away, they still do the cart in the town centre though

the prospect of going to high school seemed ridiculous , the prospect of going out in the workplace preposterous, I grew up as not only a 1970's child but also the kid caught up in the fervour of their insanity, I'll be 51 next week, two marriages behind me, travelled the world and two wonderful kids.

2017 Sunday RC Final Talk & Comments About 1975

by baldeagle in

many of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".

this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.

we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.

no chance that I could sit back and watch two hours of that mind numbing crap but their dishonesty continues to astonish and amaze.

The GB members of the Watchtower Corporation are cunning decisive crooks

by Finkelstein in

i think its now easy see the long standing and continuous operation of the watchtower corporation and its commercialized corruption as a religious publishing house.

the core centralized intent was to increase the circulation and distribution of the wts's own publications.

they exploited the basic belief in the bible as holy spiritual writings and used the end is near proclamation all throughout the 20th century and even back toward the end of the 19th century.. these leaders also devised special engaging public talks at assemblies and local kingdom halls which were also devised to support those specific core doctrines of christ's return and a imposing question of who's worthy of being saved or not at the soon to come day of judgment armageddon.

puppets having their strings pulled Morris/Lett/Jackson haven't got 2 brain cells between them to rub together, I very much doubt in the real world Lett could be trusted to shovel shite let alone sit on a the board of a large blue chip corporation.

7 day conventions?

by HereIgo in

did any of you attend the old school week long conventions?

i have heard stories and it seems like these were mostly in the 70's and 80's before my time.

i couldn't imagine.

I was a 3 year old toddler dragged along to the 1969 International District Convention at Wembley Stadium which I believe would have been a eight day job with evening sessions as well !

Hearing voices, not always caused by demons.

friends

my wife and i for the past three months have been caring for a teenage girl who was abused by her parents.

she stole a car to get away, and living in prison was a welcome relief for her.

she was in prison for four years, and the state was going to release her, but she would not go back home.. a co-worker teacher that my wife knows told us the situation, and we agreed o help the girl get back on her feet.. well, she dealt with abuse from all aspects 😔, and is pretty messed up in the head from all of that.. but by being in our home, she was safe and was learning how to deal with her problems.

demons dont exist so how can they cause someone to hear voices ?
