JWTalk Forum
by Newly Enlightened indoes anyone know if jwtalk is a real jehovah witness forum?.
are the owner bob & an admin jerry in good standing in their congregations?
or just apostates posing as jw's?.

I know it's cringeworthy but if he has a huge following then this will feed the apathy and make it all the more mainstream. It's got to erode the GB's control even if only at the edges.
How big is his forum? Oooh ... err ... perhaps size does matter!

Just saw this video, just goes to show you how the elders lie...JW Elder's Response To My DA Letter
by goingthruthemotions insaw this video of a brave woman who gave a da letter and an elder tries to talk with her.
this guy comes across has full of shite, and you know he would be a different person if there were other elders around with him.
kangaroo court jokers is what comes to my mind.

The question to pin him with was "Why didn't the elders go to the authorities if they believed me?" and quoted 1 Peter 2 v 13 - 17.

Jehovah's Witnesses May Have Peaked in Membership at 8 Million (+/-)
by OnTheWayOut ini don't have all the details of their new "service year" numbers, but i have read enough on jwn to state my opinion pretty strongly.. memorial attendance for 2015 was down.while they kept saying they were going to build a bunch of new kingdom halls, and everybody is still in recovery from watchtower taking all the local money away, they say pretty much that there isn't enough money to build new kingdom halls.putting gb members on the videos at jw .
org has allowed people to really put a face and personality to these guys and remove the mystery of how they should be such deeply spiritual serious men.
instead they see silly thoughts about tight pants and, really everything that comes out of lett's mouth is delivered ultra-goofy, along with the money reports.. the gb lost credibility a little more with every new light that shone down, with the strangest one being "overlapping generation.

Now the sacked bethel middle managers and special pioneers are getting out into the congregations they will bring with them a strange mix. On the one hand they were once at the hub of the organization and they may be expecting some deference.
On the other they will be needing the congregations support for accommodation, association, work and ministry. So they need to be nice.
Then a third point comes into play - however it has been dressed up - they have been shafted. They will be fighting resentment towards their branch committee that chose them to be the ones kicked to the kerb.
Their confidence will be diminished. It is going to be an interesting time.

New Generation Understanding gives further reasons not to watch Star Trek reruns
by pirata inthe new light on the generation gives us even further reason not to watch star trek re-runs.. the title "star trek - the next generation" misleads people about the real meaning of what is meant by a "generation".. evidently the lives of starfleet officers who served aboard uss enterprise ncc-1701 would overlap with those who served aboard the uss enterprise ncc-1701-d. since spock and mccoy's life overlapped with picard's, they were contemporaries, and thus of the same generation.. if the producers of the show were truly sincere in advocating the truth, they would have titled the show "star trek - the contemporary overlapping generation continued".. my dear brothers and sisters: let us be resolved never to be deceived the by the deceptive entertainment of this world!.
[ applause ].

Star trek has a lot of catching up to do. Only about 40 years of overlapping generations. The Borg (our Borg) has overlapped since about 1879! -

What date was set for our letters to be sent to KH in our communities.

Don't send it just to the elders - copy in a handful of witnesses you know by name at their home address so that a "buzz" gets going in the hall.
Sending it to the elders will mean it gets stamped on immediately.
