Shouldn't the unhappy and unfulfilled worldly people see what JWs have and be drawn to them? Shouldn't they be showing up at KHs asking for bible studies? At work shouldn't they be asking how JWs families are so happy? I mean everyone wants true happiness, so why work so hard for new members?

I like how they focus on filling more seats but dance around the actual goal: selling Kingdom Halls for the cash.

Accounts report at Circuit Assemblies to go away
by LevelThePlayingField ini was at the regional convention and asked an elder why is that at the assemblies their is an accounts report but not at the conventions?
he said, well actually they got a letter and in it said that in a little while they will do away with the accounts report stating how much the assembly costs for the weekend and just go to donation basis like at the conventions.. my first thought was, "they will donate even less now.".
anybody else hear about such a thing?.

They probably know that the whole deficit thing is now known to be a scam. Even PIMIs know all about how it works, time to get rid of it. It outlived it's usefulness.

What's really funny is that you can get a QR code for just about any shitty website very easily. It's not like it was some big accomplishment of programming.

Miss America and Misguided Views on Sexuality
by Simon inso miss america pageant is going to remove the swimsuit and evening gown parts of their pageant because they have decided it's demeaning to women.
i guess it will just be women in overcoats telling us they want world peace .... bravo, we all applaud, right?
maybe we shouldn't be so quick to do so .... what is it really saying?

It is a "beauty pageant," so if they are taking it out because it's demeaning, then isn't the whole thing demeaning? You can't have it both ways either the whole thing is demeaning or it's not. The girls are agreeing to be there right? If they truly had a problem being judged on their looks, then they wouldn't enter the contest.

In hypnosis we call this a "yes set". You get someone to agree with something minor, then get them to agree with another minor or ambiguous thing then they're more than likely to agree with the third because the brain likes consistency.
The WT are introducing a basic bible idea (yes), then another (yes) than a cult message (yes).Interesting point, they build people up by making them feel smart, then if they really want to keep that feeling they have to agree with WT on everything. It fails when you don't even believe the basic nonsense anymore.

More people would be there because, like the Catholics or any of the others, you can do whatever you want without repercussions. You could attend a public talk without the disgrace or shunning. You could feel good about yourself.
I really doubt this very much even if they took away shunning their core doctrines would still be judgmental and negative. Maybe some people would show up once a month, or go to the memorial for family. Overall, though, active zealous members would go way down. They would have to change everything to be a place casual church goers would enjoy.

Okay, here's the deal, at the age you're at girls don't generally like younger guys. Maybe, if you wait a few years but by that time she'll probably be married (that's just how JWs are). She probably just liked the attention when she was younger. I went through something similar in my teens not realizing that flirting doesn't always lead to anything. It didn't help that I was terrible at meeting girls and JW life doesn't lend itself to meeting people your own age. I would say forget about her and try to meet more girls at school closer to your age.
