  i remember hearing the sounds of the train horn blowing on january 1st 2015 and remembering, "another year and no armagedon".

  and i was so disappointed.

  i hated to hear that train whistle blow.

  Yeah, I just can't imagine the disappointment of those who have been in the borg 45-50 years plus. Each fall or spring ''big announcement'' , ''big announcement'' only to announce some measly book or meeting change. Always been ''so close'' to the big ''A'' and nothing ever comes. Must be very tiring, I'm very sure.

  Yeah I hear you. The sound of reality can be quite sobering. It's kind of amazing how you refer to a train horn. It's like you hear the train getting louder and louder then passing then passing on then the whistle gets quieter and quieter it makes you compare with time and the years how they pass on and on......it makes you wonder how the rank and file feel after 45-50 plus years on in the Borg.

  THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) JANUARY 2016

  by wifibandit in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  pdf .

  this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.

  that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

  They have ''gradually realized'' that something is up with the memorial numbers going up,up and up. They have to put something in print in WT to try to mitigate the concerns of the rank and file, people are wondering I'm sure.

  just got done watching parts of the october episode at jdub.broadcasting and it looks like the definition of "sacred service" is getting an update.

  construction work, helping out fellow dubs, even helping out non-beliebers and opposers will soon be adding up to record progress for publishers... gett ready for a huge increase in hours being reported.... can you hear it now??

  my how jw.org provides.... pbrow.

  If this comes to be a practise, perhaps the word ''spiritual'' will have a more Christian like way to it.

  Do they notice who no longer gives donations?

  by onightdivine in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  because i haven't put in a single dime for over a year now in the box at the kh.

  the usual custom is to put money in there right after the meetings.

  but heck, i already spend so much in car fuel just to attend - i don't care really if the gb starves and dies.. oops.. anyway, do the elders take note who's donating and who's not?.

  They generally know who gives and who does not. You pick-up on certain statements the elders or ''popular'' ones make over the years about who gives money, subtle statements.

  What other Shenanigans can we expect to see in the next 2 years?

  by John Aquila in

  2. beliefs

  its been a little over 2 years since i left the watchtower.

  in that time the magazines have been cut, the birth of jwtv, jw-org.

  carts for preaching, removed district overseers, cut assemblies, demand all the money from the congregations, stop construction and layoff bethelites, change the format of the tmschool .
