Elders Remove Excellent Speaker
by Vanderhoven7 ingreat talk interrupted.... https://youtu.be/hlgwyfhtihm.

Wow, I was intrigued to listen - and what an excellent speaker indeed. I really liked how he changed people's perception of Thomas. His reasoning is kind of along the lines of "In search of Christian Freedom" by Raymond Franz - and that if you indeed do believe in God, means that faith in him and being further a good person is enough. You can hear the Elder say that that was a very bad interpretation of the scripture - which I guess does not fit in a works-based organization. Perhaps further they did not like him still using a paper-Bible - but I think as already said, that where he stated that it was all the way to the top - so, perceived as criticism towards the almighty GB.
I think this brother is awake, still believes in God, but realizes how corrupt the organization has become - and is trying to use his remaining time on the inside to wake people up...but seems his remaining time as an elder is soon to expire, if not already. I wish him well - and hope to meet him here someday.

Craziest thing you ever saw in a KH?
by dubstepped ini did this in my facebook group for my podcast and it was fun.. so what's the craziest thing you ever saw?.
for me it was watching a brother have a heart attack during the meeting in the auditorium.
i was a kid and noticed him shaking and acting strange.

Just as the OP, we had a brother have a heart attack during the meeting. Ambulance was called, brother taken to the back of the hall to wait for the paramedics, while the meeting simply continued,
On a lighter note, we had a guest speaker from bethel, who needed to use the toilet during his public talk, walked off, urinated, flushed (all could hear), walked back and resumed his talk.

This was the kingdom hall I grew up in, before moving abroad... even helped build it - well whatever help a kid of 10 or so could offer. Thanks so much for posting this.
I heard via-via that they closed the congregation and the folks now had a long commute to their newly assigned congregations...
Jehovah is really blessing the growth in these last of the last days.

Judge has ordered publication of the report to be public. Great that the WT tried to hide and failed, gaining media coverage along the way.

CPAP machines for sleep apnoea.
by zeb ini have used a machine for some years.
they cost a heap.
too often they end up pumping a hot plastic smell out and therefore into my lungs.

I too have a CPAP and have been using for close to 20 years now. This device is fantastic and really gave me my life back. I do not use the humidifyer and let it start full force, rather than the gradual build up. Make sure to change your filters regularly and clean your mask and elestic band at least monthly.
Sounds like you have a faulty device or perhaps it is just not for you. Check with your doctor and/or supplier.

WT is lying about the actual publisher numbers
by JustHuman14 ini left wt, 18 years ago.
never thought that i would have witness such a massive doctrinal and structure changes as well.
i find it hard to recognize that religion.. what i can tell, like all of ex jw's is that wt going down.. their corporate directors know it.

Publisher numbers are artificially kept higher than in the past. for example: Sick and Elderly publishers can report 15 minutes and are pressured to do so. Both parents can count 4 hours a months for family study, regardless if it happens or not...after all they take them to the hall, pray at mealtimes, etc.
Also, it be noted that the elders will generally put one hour on your report if you fail to hand it in. This way you do not become irregular/inactive that easy and they don’t have to explain to the CO when he visits. I have seen this on my own report.
Then the focus shifted from average to peak publishers.
So, at all levels there is some number fudging - individuals, parents, elders...and I am sure this continues going up the ladder. And as commented before, they lie about everything else, why not about the numbers.
