Latest WT kids' video
by agonus in
1. jw

...features a young girl who is preparing to go out in service.

this video was featured on youtube until it was "removed by the user".. .

to me this is another indication that, in spite of surface efforts to appear to be "mainlining", the wt really, really does not want anyone other than already-dedicated dubs to be party to this material.. .

Who (not what) is your guilty pleasure? (Controversial favorites)
by Terry in
1. jw
2. friends
we all have somebody we are crazy about that almost everybody can't stand.. if you mention their name your companions give you that "look" (ya know the one, like you just got caught picking your nose!).

i was thinking about this the other day.

i was truly curious if i'm mental or if everybody has a guilty pleasure list like i do.. i'm just going to assume we all do until you set me straight.. if you attach a photo and short explanation about why you like these pariahs it will be more meaningful.. .

"8 Ways To Give Us Your Cash" - the desperation in the latest Watchtower is tangible!

i know gayle has already started a thread on the latest november 15th watchtower article that mentions the article on donations, but i thought a thread with a more specific title might be in order just to drive the point home for any lurkers.

i hope gayle doesn't mind!.

i've been banging the drum for a while now about what i view as the obvious signs that the watchtower is in a state of decline.. i have written the following blog articles on the subject.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/branch-closures-and-fire-sales-a-growing-trend-for-the-society.

The biggest enemy the Watchtower Corporation faces now is "The Truth"
by Finkelstein in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
thats my opinion because the wts really has been preaching false information now for so long about the end times and armageddon soon.. also the doctrine that jesus chirt has taken a position over his earthly and heavenly kingdom in 1914 .... etc.

its been a winfall marketing scheme for such a long time, which now really doesn't have much leg to stand on.. time in conjunction with reality has made the wts's doctrines redundantly weak or useless more or less.. i'm even believing the leaders of the wts are even starting to know this for themselves.. the wts future and its main supporting pieces of literature, the watchtower and awake magazines may eventually be tossed aside.

for some new doctrines as well newly named pieces of literature .
