similar in style to the year of the Bunker video, they must be spending a tidy sum on these videos these days, its clearly not having the desired effect though, they still haemorrhage members, sell off Branch facilities and KH's and report dreadful growth in most lands, I see a return of a couple of characters there, Sister Nasty Hatefilled Homophobe and Sister Token Chinese With a Nosejob!

Scary Effectiveness of Assembly Videos
by Captain Schmideo2 inwell, i got to see the final day of this years regional convention.and i saw something that disturbs me.. the final, "summing up review" video.
it disturbs me because it was so well done.
(i wish i could remember the title of the song), to the strains of a solo vocalist singing in a fine "irish tenor", we see the actors from the previous videos of the last few days all assembling together in a clearing.

"World conditions have never been as bad as they are now"
by Sour Grapes ini went to a funeral yesterday and ran into a jdub.
of course, he approached me and it didn't take more than a minute into the conversation for him to get into the jdub gloom and doom mode.
he said that world conditions have never been as bad as they are now.. i looked straight into his eyes and said, "i think that world conditions were a lot worse during world war two.".

I'm just wish those days would return where we stuck kids up chimneys, rape was legal, death occurred with the most basic infection, we executed common thieves, sanitation was unheard of , human slavery was legal,but things were so much better!

as time passes that stupid "bunker" video seems more and more detached and insane, the ideas behind it clearly have far too vivid an imagination, I reckon the R&F think its pretty dumb as well, is it two years down the line? is the world on the verge of developing into a cesspit on the precipice of destruction? of course it isnt.

Morpheus, KH's are being sold off everywhere in the western world especially in the UK and in most/all of Europe, they are not being replaced, new congs are not forming, there is zero growth in the UK, they do not call D2D in this neighbourhood anymore,I simply do not see it, they have a token presence a few days a week with their silly cart in my town centre that no body cares about nor is interested in, and I'm a very good judge to monitor this, so it just goes to show that their worldwide publisher figures should just be taken as like everything they boast about as pure fantasy, we all did it as publishers padding out our FS reports, branch facilities sold, KH's sold , CA halls slowly being sold,all printing downsized,Gilead almost nonexistent, DO's finished, vast CA/DC's nonexistent,everything they boasted of in the 1960's to the end of the 1990's has declined, only a fool would deny that.

who has been out the longest?
by stan livedeath inwho has been out of the cult the longest ?.
i'll start--i resigned in 1971, but attended occasionally as a non-interested husband to keep the wife sweet, untill my last circuit assembly in autumn 1980. no connection with the cult since then.
so--its either 47 or 38 years, depending on how you see it.. which begs the question--why am i on this site now ?.

appeared in front of a JC at the end of 1992 on a charge of apostasy, escaped with a reproof but began my fade, I was done within a couple of years, over 25 years, I love that milestone!

Who are the 144,000?
by Canadian Sunshine inif i am understanding correctly only 144,000 will go to heaven, to be with jesus and help rule?
these 144,000 are witnesses only.
there is over a million jw world wide, what happens to the rest of the faithful followers.

they claimed the figure was literal and was fulfilled(sealed) by 1935, then they changed their minds, historical evidence supports the fact that many millions converted to Christianity, pre the 1935 date, what about the amount that died faithful from 33CE onwards? its a ridiculous doctrine and one they made up that continues to make less sense even from the time they thought it up! LOL, Judge Rutherfrauds brainchild!

JW's Setting Up Carts at Chicago Train Stations
by OnTheWayOut inthe reader is very chicago-oriented but for your benefit while reading, "the el" is the elevated train system that ties in with the subway system for commuters and "cta" is the chicago transit authority that runs the commuter trains and buses.
