Oompa - good your back on board -- hope you are feeling ok now?
Well, I do know of a JW couple who do work for a df's boss - the kicker is that he has a supervisor who deals with them and he does not deal with them directly. all information is passed to the supervisor, manager, whatever, and he/she directs them as to what has to be done for the company
This could buy you much needed time OR they will stay as they do not have to deal with your directly.. rather than the folks leaving, they may settle for this and their conscience will not be "seared"
Just a thought -

Sab:
As I am looking at this site, it seems so much like the WT language... the scriptures they quote seem to be like the NWT speak..
I wonder if they are putting out this information ...they have great libraries, why not put all this info in one place and make some money doing it as they want $12.00 per dvd....

Has there been any recent counsel or articles advising JW's to avoid associating with 'inactives'?

i ask because over the last few weeks i've noticed a marked 'cooling off' from my brother and sisters.

i don't think i'm being paranoid - has anything specific been printed lately?

bloody faith!.

So the apostates are "mentally diseased" and now those who take the emblems must look inward as some too may be "mentally diseased" - what a crock!!! Damned if you do and damned if you don't...

'Great Crowd' of 12 people get baptised at District Convention!!!
by burnedout in
1. jw
2. experiences
yesterday, out of 4,035 people in attendance at the dc, only 12 people were baptized.

that is one more than eleventeen and one less than a baker's dozen.. .

want to take a guess as to the age group of this 'great crowd?

Canada:
The DA --2800 in attendance -- 14 baptized, 2 from d2d witnessing..
The CA had 1 baptized this year and I do think it is because they are pushing singleness (due to lack of men) and of course, pioneering... for the sisters, and young couples may have one child, very seldom do you see a large family anymore.....
If you take a look waaay back, worldwide baptisms have not gone over the 300,00 mark (I think I remember that), even though the aver pubs keep going up -- so from 5 mill to 7 mill - new ones never increase in the baptismal number, wouldn't it follow that as aver pub numbers go up so should baptismal numbers.. ?? You would think that more in the field === more being baptized..... AND, aver pub from year prev added to new baptized ones NEVER add up -there is always 100,00 or so missing...

A few notes on September 15, 2011 Watchtower, fresh off the presses!
by sd-7 in

september 15th, 2011 watchtower, page 28, paragraph 13:.

"if a human overseer in god's organization provides you with instructions that seem extremely detailed, you might at times feel frustrated.

jehovah, however, is a perfect overseer who delegates generously and trusts his servants.

A slight of the hand trick... again and again.... no one will pick up these references... I have sat in so many meetings where I have studied the lesson and made note of what should be commented on as a very important point and it's not even mentioned.. they read from the paragraph now, no thought, no insight, just parroting the words.. once in a while an ex elder or person on disability who has time to research will give a deep though provoking answer and it is so refreshing... otherwise, your talking to the choir -- no real personal perspectives anymore -if you do you are pointed out as being" something wrong with their comments"!!
