a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.
Wow that is infamous - they say that in the end, despite all the logical, rational reasons for making ttatt "your own", it's usually an emotional reaction to something that wakes you up in the end.
Well this obnoxious recording was my emotional reaction, it sickened me to the core that a co religonist of mine could make such a speech with no shame.
funny how the catholics see jesus outline on a sheet or on a piece of toast & revere it, but jw's just throw away books that they say jesus looked at and accepted as the only truth !
bumping a very interesting thread from a few years back...... .

h!Thank you for posting this, this is definately a keeper
saw it 😉
according to the 2014 annual report:.
"worldwide, there are 115,416 congregations of jehovahs witnesses and 8,201,545 publishers.".
i don't understand how the borg is facing financial difficulty.
a careful examination of the historical pagan religious context existing at the time of the genesis of christianity leads any reasonable person to conclude that jesus is just another one of several similar myths.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn7teoa9ark.
Bender does not tax the brain like Jesus
Speak for yerself sir!
Bender taxes my brain inordinately!(well, futurama does - especially the Farnsworth para box and the one with the devil in it!
today i added a new article to my blog.
it includes a not-yogi berra quote in memory of a beloved man.
oh, and it includes a two image depiction of how watchtower has but hasn't changed.
its been a couple of weeks since a new c.o.
was appointed to the circuit and im starting to hear tidbits of his talks..
one brother told me that in one of his talks he asked the question; .
Hey, isn't this how the other religions evolved??
Cirgactly - wtbt$ is just another (young ish) religon and it's gradually loosing its homey egalitarian small town innocence and evolving into just another hypocritical religo-business with big bucks, a checkered history, skeletons-in-the-closet, power politics, a large legal team ready to pounce and the true mark of an establishment religon. - it's own nasty brand of intractable institutionalized child abuse (problem ).

One thing I will say @phizzy, it always amazes me what a good historian can deduce from written sources.

I've thought the whole shebang was moving this way for a while.
My reasons: Wtbts fears bancruptcy and has pulled in marketing professionals (in fact professionals generally)who have told them they are wasting their manhours with unsuitable (ie shy etc)folk going d2d when their time/resources could be more profitably spent volunteering in other ways and, of course - big turn here- working & DONATING if you cant do owt else!!
Also, going d2d pubs at risk of meeting folk like US who can easily show them proof that the WT is bs. At the carts (ususally)only interested/mad/desperate folk will approach.
I think the anti cold calling climate does not help either. Just my two penny w'th !
there were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.
Oh yes I had the hairdye is worldly. In fact, I was told you are not allowed to dye your hair.
Anyway, stupid one is this.
I was in a school play & I was going to be wearing a (particularly beautiful)sari my school friend lent me. I was told, in all seriousness, that I should rethink it as Indian religon is demonic and some Indian women in Saris' have been known to astrally project.
