so the tms....does anyone think it might ever go away?
possibly being replaced by a borg streaming presentation that's required viewing from home?
it seems to me that with the congregation merging and sell-off that's going on, there are going to be 4 maybe 5 congregations sharing some khs.
omg wow...I think I might have to go just for the ridiculousness of it all. thanks for the info. yeah It's probably here to stay for a while, if it gives them some purpose why take it away. :-/
damn my dad for answering the door that day in 1980............

lol...Wow, well guess I've been inactive for awhile ;-) Old terminologies die hard...so yeah, I mean the mid week meeting. Mine was always on a Thursday back in the day.
I'm sure a PIMI family or "friend" told me about this, but of course I forgot. Is it still 1.75 hrs long

Plus with some having to travel greater distances...idk, just seems like something the WTS brass might consider.
it's always cool to see honest accounts of jehovah's witnesses in the news.
i got the opportunity to be interviewed locally and took it.
i put myself out there and here's part one.
Wow!!! Nice job...such a great peek into the hamster wheel.
i notice only about half the people i knew in the borg are on social media.
anyone else notice this?.
interesting...where I live, tons of JWs are on FB. I've never heard of it being "demonized" (sounds a bit dramatic) however I realize things and attitudes are different in diff parts of the US. I guess in my area things are a bit more laid back.
1300 attendance 11 teenagers baptised (.85 growth) $12,000 expenses.
biggest facepalm moment- teenage pioneer says she pioneers because "the overlapping generation is getting up there in years ,so time is short" as the saying goes "those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it".
very mind numbing day nothing you haven't heard a hundred times before..
WOW nowwhat....
""the overlapping generation is getting up there in years ,so time is short" as the saying goes "those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it"
The teenage pioneer that said that will be here signing up for this forum in about 10 years.
Crazy what we all used to believe.
had a couple of witnesses stop by yesterday to say the usual "we miss you, missed you at the meeting, just checking in on you, etc.
" i've always liked this guy so we spoke for a few minutes.
my wife said that they could count their time since i am inactive.
I remember this being a thing when I was an MS .
I always like to point out to my wife that "the friends" ONLY ever stop by with the "We miss you" BS...WHILE they're 'on the clock'
I ask her "when was the last time one of your old friends, or elder buddy stopped by on there own time, or called"
granted, I don't want them too...but 99% of the time, they're doing it while out in service. We're an easy stop before or after the 11am starbucks break. LOL
i know some has been posted about leah remini and her split from scientology.
i just wanted to add after finishing it last night, it is a must watch for questioning jws...every episode has familiar situations and parallels that will make jws really think (or squirm).
watch it with someone you want to wake up!!!!
Here is the A & E (cable TV station in US) link:
http://www.aetv.com/shows/leah-remini-scientology-and-the-aftermath
It probably will not work outside of US. It may also require you to enter you cable carrier info to make sure you're authorized to view, I don't know.
I imagine it will be available on other services in the near future (Hulu, Netflix etc.)
Thanks for your input on this thread. I wonder if she had any idea she'd be helping people other people in cults...JW, Mormon, etc.

Watch it with someone you want to wake up!!!! It will definitely help. My wife who is inactive but still is torn and believes (elder dad, pioneer mom) was anxious to watch it every week. She made comments about the similarities. If you watch with a fully "in" JW, it will make them a little uncomfortable for sure.
maybe this was posted before on jwd, but i just came across it.
it will make you mad, but hopefully more awareness will make people see this religion as the dangerous cult that it is:.
