  How the Borg could increase meeting attendance numbers

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think that the 8 popes should allow the jdubs to count time driving to the meetings or even count their time being at the meetings.

  those who just listen over the phone can't count their time.. it would be a much better religious cult if the 8 self-licking ice cream popes would let their followers count their time for helping the elderly in the kingdumb haul with stopping by to have coffee, shopping, cleaning, cutting grass, etc.

  let them count time by visiting the friends in nursing homes, maybe even allow double the hours for the nursing home visits.. this probably ain't going to happen because the cart work is easier..

  There is a church in my town that had a classic car show a few Sunday’s ago. Drive to church with your mustang or corvette and they had a barbecue going and a bouncy castle for the kids. I was seriously thinking of switching over to them. Even better they are only a couple blocks from my house instead of all the way across town like the Kingdom Hall.

  not sure if this was every where or just our area, but you could always tell who was big shit top dog in the hall elders by the size of their bag.

  not with their shunning policy.

  me and my brother seldom communicate sadly, but no way would we go anywhere for fear of being seen with an inactive jw for over 10 years.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-simplified-march-2016/questions-from-readers/.

  i stumbled upon this charitable status page for canada and thought that i would look for the watchtower society of canada.

  as they say the report is incomplete because it lacks the normal auditors process details.

  but donations received $64.4 canadian dollars!

  Circuit Assembly Experiences

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower

  many years ago, in the congregation i attended at the time, there was a brother who had endured bad health over many years.

  as result he underwent a number of operations - a couple being life saving operations.

  at one or two circuit assemblies he was interviewed on the platform where he related how he endured ill health.. for me, i felt very uncomfortable listening to his experience and, i actually felt embarrassed for him because i have never been one to speak of any health issues i had, let alone publicise it from the platform.

  I know a lot of experiences were embellished to shame Jws into doing more.

  how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.

  here is an example i was told as a kid:.

  the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.

  We are going back 50 years or so. When I was a kid we ordered everything from the sears catalogue. It showed up about a week later in the mail or at the sears depot in our rural town.

  Today we order on line. The stuff I order shows up a week later in the mail or on my doorstep.

  march 10, 1876: “mr.

  watson —come here—i want to see you” the voice of alexander graham bell is transmitted.

  he wasn't the first to invent it but the first to own a patent.. in 1910 telephone "subscribers" had 4 digit telephone numbers.soon, larger cities had 5 digit numbers.mark twain was one of the first to have a phone in his home.. the first phones had no dials or buttons.
