The rank and file have to be told that the preaching work is increasing. The just can never be told otherwise, it would cause doubting and great dissent. Kind of like a slow exodus.

"the Kingdom work is expanding at an accelerated pace"
by Londo111 inif recent intel is true, there is only a .23% increase worldwide in 2015. .
notice what is increasing is not the average publisher count, according to the above watchtower quote to spin the bethel downsizing, but the work.

by Darkknight757 ingot this very interesting email last night and i thought i'd share it.. this is from the local rbc.. "in harmony with our new ldc form we have been asked by the branch to liquidate all current assets of used tools and materials once owned by the rbc.
you are invited to visit the equipment trailers to acquire items being liquidated by the rbc asset team, these items will be offered on a first come bases with voluntary donation.
if you see any item you like please be in position to take it with you at that time, after you return to your congregation then you will make a donation of cash or check in the congregation contribution box designated for the support of the worldwide work.

True. I believe some people are really starting to squirm!!! That over-the-top memo to the Elders of the Borg in May of 2014 which by in laaaaaaarge part the rank and file have no idea what it is about.
I mean the part about only keeping $5000.00 in the bank accounts and everything over and above sent in to the society. The KH mortgage loan forgiving must seem like a true blessing, when it could not be further from the truth. In other words it is a perpetual monthly donation going to more KHs per se.
I do not know how many of the rank and file are aware of the suspension of the KH construction. And likely a very small limited few amount know about the $5000.00 maximum bank limit imposed by the Borg.
The Elders all know about this, it has to be noteworthy if their consciences do not bother them. I am sure it does not bother them. Sad that the rank and file do not know about all of this crafty underhandedness.

Why do people follow demonstrably False Prophets?
by WireRider inwhy does everyone just turn a blind eye to the false teachings of the watchtower?
the bible warns us many times and in many ways not to follow false prophets - including the lake of fire.
fundamentally why do the followers of the watchtower just ignore the very bible they claim to live by?.

WTS checklist for Elders to destroy evidence?
by DarioKehl inhttps://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/3t1yp7/marc_and_cora_posted_on_utube/.

I know that elders go on all-weekend courses to condition them for situations like these. They are shown videos and demonstrations to control their thoughts when these things like **destroying documents** come up.
They really do feel that they are the blessed-ones and above the Law. Remember the Borg is very cleverly cunning on mind control, even such when it comes to **obeying the Borg** over the Law of the Courts.
Even every JW feels the same way. They believe when that pipe dream of the World Governments shuts down religion, that the preaching work should continue. That is how every JW thinks from a very indoctrinated age, and I just cannot see any Elder being different. Perhaps even MORE SO, indoctrinated!!!

So they need so many KHs built, right!! Well how does the sudden cry for KH mortgages forgiven May of 2014 with the congregations sending in all money but $5000.00 justify itself.
RBC fire sale of tools now to LDC, where is all the money going!!! IF they need so many KHs going, they should be on a building frenzy not on a fire sale of tools and moratorium of KH projects.

Hmm. If this is true, it is very disturbing. Did you know that destroying evidence which is admissible in court is a criminal offense.
If elders are knowingly destroying evidence which is admissible as evidence they are technically committing a criminal offense. They are just as indictable for destroying evidence.
;We all must be ready to obey instructions we may receive whether they seem strategic from a human standpoint or not;
That statement I guess applies to EVERYTHING, even going above the law, to obey instructions that trump the Law of the Courts, the REAL Judicial system. WOW!!!

2015 Worldwide Memorial Attendance: Another Sign of Decline
by steve2 injw memorial attendance last year - 2014 - was about 50,000 shy of 20 million.
some posters on this forum had confidently predicted before the 2014 memorial that attendance would hit more than 20 milion.
they were wrong.. now, in 2015, and the memorial falling on a weekend night (where attendance is historically much higher), attendance has not only failed to top 20 milion but has declined by more than 87,000 in attendance over 2014:.

I do believe that 2014 now come and gone, the rising tide of doubter is surfacing. Each year it seems there is an ever increasing number of memorial attendees. I cannot remember seeing a decrease in memorial attendance, ever!! -

I know. You keep hearing all the time that the Chariot or the Borg is moving so fast, you just have to keep up. Everything which is happening is just contrary to the fact. -

Religion spoils the real truth? What are your thoughts.
by punkofnice ini can see how science is answering our questions.
okay, that's a sweeping statement, but it's the best way my empty head can express it.
i'm not sure if we're evolving as a species...that's another subject i admit to not reading about.

Questioning things is looked at as Apostasy. That is why the average Joe-JW is afraid to ask questions. -

Can you prove that WT policy of shunning is unscriptual? Will soon be discussing with somebody, give me all your ammo!
by EndofMysteries inwill soon be discussing w/ somebody still in about that.
i want to make sure i am not missing anything good.
so any scriptures, articles whether wt articles or secular about effects of shunning, etc, or your arguments against how wt interprets their scriptures, etc.

The fallacy of the shunning policy is no different than isolation and ostracism. In a way it is worse than isolation, it is public shaming which imposes much more guilt and shame on the supposed wrongdoer.
