Hey metatron.
There's a post at

titled "The latest for new Service Year 2009-2010"
that talks about some of the things you said.
there have been a number of developments over the past few months and they paint an interesting picture.. witnesses can keep dragging themselves to meetings ad infinitum however, the future of the watchtower itself is another story.
the evidence of continuing cash flow problems is now overwhelming.
if you talk to well placed witnesses, most won't deny it but simply blame it on the publishers financial problems.. they have cut off loans to congregations many of whom genuinely need new kingdom halls.

Hey Gregor.
Don't say much more about it or you'll
find you won't be able to log into the forum
anymore like it's happened to several folk
already. I'll say no more...
creeps in this petty pace from day to day,.

good morning, fellow jwners:.
my jw friends and i are discussing the current topic revolving around the downplaying of the anointed remnant's existence and role as contributors to the spiritual growth of the other sheep.. i took very seriously the opportunities i had to aid the many "anointed" whom i knew personally.
those i associated with were not crazy, self-deluded individuals but very devout christians who helped to ground me spiritually.
Hi CoCo.
I knew a brother who claimed to be of the anointed and partook at memorials.
He died recently. A very decent man. Very stubborn and self-minded, though.
And if he thought you were full of it he'd tell you right off. He had a hand-shake
like a vice and a rib crunching hug. He didn't seem very intellectual, more like
a regular Joe, and faithful to any WT doctrine in current vogue. There were
rumors at my Congregation that he'd stopped partaking. But they weren't
true, he partook till the year he died, I asked the brother who gave his
memorial-funeral talk. He didn't leave his wife with much of anything. She's
now a widow, she never partook of the emblems. She's in her mid 60's and
he was around the same age. I'm not sure if he ever wrote the Society but
maybe I recall him saying something about "checking with Bethel". He was
never an elder or a ministerial servant. He had a strong love for people in
the organization and a lot of people put up with his quirky ways because
he was easy to talk to, and very approachable with constant big grin and
squinty smiley eyes. (If you'd put him in a red suit and hat he'd make a perfect
Santa Claus :-) He was very zealous for field service and talked to anyone
and everyone.
anyone have a copy of the july 2009 km?
i can't seem to find it anywhere.
thanks!
I can help you some......but if you want a scan it would be better to PM Iloowy on JWS
The KM in JWS seems to be in Portuguese, but that's ok by me.

what's up with that guy?
was he ever really a monkey?
and why do his threads suck?.
I didn't know monkeys sucked!
for the uk it was 275 (that they're willing to declare anyway).
i don't know how that compares with last year.. how about in your country?.
Why would they publish UK numbers and not US numbers??
Because there's a highly connected mole in the UK branch.
Shhhhhh!
a lot of crap
that just about sums it up!
how can jw's confess belief in jesus christ when they do not believe in his own words when he speaks of heaven???
jesus compared heaven in many parables, yet the jw's claim that the "new earth" is where they are going.
also, the belief that jesus was here in 1914(?
