What i see here in Holland is a growth of pioneers.
Strange, this fighting against decline.
Elders and MS with their family seems to be under presure to pioneer.
And many think they live in the last days.

a little advice please.. it's now 7 months since i stopped going to meetings.
we still get regular calls by elders - at least every 2 weeks.
i can handle them.
"Thanks for your kind attention. I'm all right, comfortable with the current situation and please respect that I have no need for any help.
Regards, "
That helped in our situation. Did only not worked out when the CO rings 5x a day the doorbell, like he did!!

in an all cash transaction, disney has purchased every share in the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc.. their most recent in a slew of acquisitions including pixar, the muppets, marvel, lucasfilm and most recently 20th century fox, disney plans to "leverage their preexisting infrastructure and fan-base" for future content.. removing robert ciranko, who took over for don alden adams in 2014, disney is installing as president john lasseter, who already helms both disney and pixar's animation studios.
recently disgraced and on leave for allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct, disney said he was "just perfect" for the job.. plans include making yearly theatrical films with post-credits scenes as part of a crossover shared universe with preexisting watchtower film characters like caleb and sophia, the prodigal son, the roman family and the bad worldy boy from school (with nicholas king reprising and expanding his role), as well as an educational disney jr. show, "little chuck", aimed at toddler's, hosted by a young version of ct russell sporting a pretend beard..

why one woman mysteriously started hearing 'divine' voices.
after doctors admitted the woman to the psychiatric unit of the hospital, they learned that this wasn't the first time she felt a strong interest in religion and spirituality.
she described four previous times in her life, beginning at age 13 and again at ages 23, 32 and 41, when she experienced periods of intense spiritual and religious devotion.during these periods, which lasted about a year or two, she would join jehovah's witnesses and then later resign, when she lost interest, according to the report.as part of her psychiatric evaluation, the woman also underwent an mri.
Interesting story!

i'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".
So sad.

we know there will be no money in paradise.
but there will almost certainly be jobs to do.
we will be perfect at our jobs but that doesn't mean we will be perfect at every job.
Think police.
We will watch you.
Don't call us, we call you.

i ask this because from what i read on this board lately is that they jw`s seem to be very reluctant to engage in conversation with anybody nowadays and are only interested in placing literature at carts.. and if anyone brings up questions in their d2d work that challenge them ( like the arc ) they will promptly excuse themselves and move on.
also didn`t jesus say "this good news of the kingdom would be preached in all the inhabited earth " for a witness ?.
when was the last time you heard a jw speak about "the good news of the kingdom" ?
