YES.
100% true in my former congregation, as well as the entire 'circuit'
It's fascinating.....the best speakers/teachers end up quitting or leaving....interesting to see someone else observe that.

Ex elders vs. Current elders
by dothemath inin our congregation there are now more ex-elders than current ones.
(probably very common).
what i notice most of all, is that the ones who were the best speakers (we actually had some good ones) are the ones who have all stepped down.. i'm of the opinion the better teachers recognize its all a joke, and can't be bothered to reach out again.. so the ones left who are taking the lead are the most boring ones available.

To all JDub lurkers: How can you continue to preach knowing that you are telling lies?
by macys inthis is a damn serious question.
you must know by now that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce and that 607 was initially picked by ct russell by using his "pyramid scheme" measurements.
there is no hiding these facts yet you continue to preach this nonsense.

To further the question.....how evil do you have to be to preach lies to people and bring them into such a 'religion?'
Anyone who does is seriously morally bankrupt.
Being a Jehovah's Witness is NOT an innocent decision. It harms people.

Lurkers: A truth is either true, or it isn't. There is no in between.
by cappytan intruth is absolute.
there is no such thing as 2=1 or 1=2.. if one starts out with the equation 2=1, one has already failed.. truth = truth.
you cannot change whether something is truth or not.. when the organization teaches one thing as a truth (ex.

I remember my fellow elders and their wives getting hammered on wine following the Memorial every year.
Yeah......I don't miss that. Or them. At all.

Questions for Serena Williams
by Esse quam videri inbeing as serena williams shows outstanding abilities and skills at that which she exerts herself in, such as tennis, it would seems reasonable that serena williams has the same high level of abilities in all of her worthwhile endeavors.
perhaps she has this level of abilities in her journey as one of jehovah's witnesses.
would it not be reasonable that those who need greater clarification and understanding of certain bible subjects, to make contact with serena and ask her such questions?.

She isn't a Jehovah's Witness.
In fact, NO ONE that doesn't live their laws, demands and schedule can say they're a Jehovah's Witness.
There are tons of 'baptized' JW's that aren't JW's at all........they are fake, living double lives. Their depth of spirituality.....as some call it.....is only measured in not getting caught and continuing to 'associate'
JW's are the hard core followers that obey and waste their lives on a daily basis.

......this proves they just laugh in the faces of their people. They know they're lazy, fearful or choosing ignorance.

Pictures in the Watchtower
by Sour Grapes inafter sitting through last sunday's watchtower i got so sick of seeing the bobbing/nodding heads when talking about the pictures.
they act like god himself took the picture.
there must have been 10 comments about the group in service and the one brother was looking at his phone with a smile, which is a dead give away that he was reading something interesting.. what got me was how the older brother in the posed picture had a bible in his hand had a stern look on his face looking at the young brother.
