wt is insinuating, worse yet, blaming senior jw parents for there not being more younger brothers reaching out to be ministerial servants and elders.
page 11 paragraph 9 reads as follows: .
"elders in affluent lands may face an added challenge: how to motivate baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to get involved in congregation activities.
Crap leaders (elders) protect their position with utmost insecurity
that pretty much sums up the problem. It is the elders and organizations own fault that there are so few reaching out and those reaching out are made to jump through hoops to get appointed.
It is not the fault of the parents.

If so, wouldn't it behoove WTS to just invest in 24/7 vending machines?
They'd never do it because someone would empty it and put the books in the trash
from my own observations & conversations with selected active j.w.
's, here are my conclusions:.
's are very rapidly falling into two distinct camps -.
In larger towns and cities every 3 to 5 average congs can easily be made into 2 or 3 larger congs.
A move like this might backfire on them and they know it. There is a reason why congregations are kept to a certain size. It is so elders can assess each publishers "spirituality" (aka guilt tripping the publishers).
If congregations were say 2 to 3 hundred publishers and there were 5 elders the majority would slack off.
A congregation is just like a hive of bees. If the honey isn't taken away regularly and the hive isn't divided the bees don't make as much honey.
after all, "at this time,over 13,000 kingdom hall projects and 35 assembly hall projects are needed worldwide.".
hmmm, not too sure about that but all the recent re-branding seems to be heading .

so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.
the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.
he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.
Move over Hitler and Ted Bundy....make room for the eternally damned Pete Za'Hut.
Hitler and Bundy have a better chance than you, you theocratic slacker.
what was it that moved your child to return to jehovah?

well it was the missed association with the family, says brenda sutton proudly and unflinchingly.. andd heres why, i had always told our kids... i would die for you, i love you, would die for you, but if you ever leave jehovah i wouldnt be there.
Just heard the EXACT SAME experience this weekend. Just different names. Even the wording was the same. Likely just another lie
Looks like it is scripted from mother and they just find a couple of faces to put up on the stage.
