NO, never qualified for that; my wife won't touch them when answering up either
she says they are crawling with germs where other people have touched or coughed on them
Microphones at our KH are now wiped with hand cleaner wipes to prevent this plus alcohol gel dispensers at KH entrance!

i'm very interested to see how many left because the "proclaimers" book said it was very few.
it's my understanding that there were over a third that left but i'm not sure of this figure.
if anyone has this info it would be much appreciated-hopefully with a source for verification.
Thank you very much for the additional figures. I think it is also interesting to note that in 1925 there were 90,434 at the memorial, we would assume the overwhelming majority of whom were partakers. In 1938 there were 69,345 in attendance however only 36,732 were partakers! For what it's worth there were 59,047 publishers that year.

o.k i have noticed that most female jws are ugly.and by ugly i mean ugly.they won't work out,they are fat and won't go on a diet (some female teens won't even shave their legs),they neglect their appearance/body in general.any opinions?.
.
p.s many will eventually get fat after marriage.
The only thing that gets me to a convention these days is the chance to sit and admire the really nice chicks. There is certainly plenty of 'Top Totty' here in England. George
this years yearbook covers "albainia" as i read these experiences i get to around 1920-25 and i notice that 3 or 4 healthy congregations turn into just 13-14 publishers by 1926 after "a time of trouble.
" although not mentioned this "trouble" was rutherford's "millions now living will never die" campaign with the watchtower saying armagedon was coming in 1925. most european congregations by 1926 lost whole congregations with only 3-10 "faithful " remaining {e.g poland, romania yearbook experiences} notice how the graph starts from the 1940's to avoid and cover up showing the flat lined publisher figures after 1925.....{notice also dips after 1975}.
however, check out the 2006 yearbook page 80. romania graph, and you see a flat lined publisher figure at 1926. the witnesses had to start from scratch.
I have never been able to find publisher figures or memorial attendance and/or partakers figures for the period 1925 - 1935. Apparently they were so bad, so many had left the organisation, they were never printed for this period. The name change in 1931 was just a re-badging exercise to get things going again. George
well my mom has been a jw ever since i was 5 but was studying since before i was born, i am now 21 and hate every minute of it.

The education is the most important thing in your life - EVER! Do not miss out or screw up your education or you will regret it for the rest of your life. Do whatever it takes to get the degree THEN you can think of other options.

why is it that the characters in the convention drama always have a kid called randy?
he is always the good kid in the illustration and the elders always address him with "hi randy" in cowboy film accent.. he in england randy has sexual connotations and means lustful or promiscuous.
are kids actually called randy in the us?.

a couple of young people about 20years old,,,,were involved with each....they went too far with the being alone situation....not sure if they reported themselves or some one else did...reguardless.....i guess the elders asked both of them extremely embarrassing questions and very very personal ones...like what kind of underwear she wore,,,,,did she have an orgasm.....etc etc..... i do not understand why this is done?????
they went too far,,,acknowledged it,,,,met with the elders...why the deep personal questions??
they already had all the information they needed...... i should know these things,,,being in the borg for 30 years...but i don't,,,i really do not understand why????
Probably like phone sex - but without the bill at the end of the month!

the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.
they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.
" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.
John 10:16 speaks of the "other sheep" which most religions identify with the Gentiles. JW's say the Other Sheep and the Great Crowd of Rev 7 are one and the same. Yet there is absolutely no proof of this other the fact that J F Rutherford said so!
