if we weren't invited, this is the "bragging" information we missed last saturday, oct. 22, 2011, at the zone meeting with tie-in from patterson, ny .
59 locations tied-in plus spanish.
anticipating 258,000 attendance from tickets given out.
"To some it may be "just a factory" but to me it is a fascinating and impressive printing/publishing operation."
Pallleease... Give me as much free labor as I request and a guaranteed market for my production and let me fascinate and impress you even further..
this is a very good find from another jw only web site i have access to... hey i just found this on a link of my mom's that she is "friends" with, yes, still a jw...anyway, i had to copy/paste it so you could all see, thought it was a bit hilarious to see how they blatantly speak of keeping info from "outsiders.
" i did not copy the name of the person since that is not my point and i am not that disrespectful, but i did copy their comment...they were discussing the wt about killing all apostates and someone that was studying asked a question as to whether they all thought that was right or not, so here it is..............."james... although its a great article and very encouraging, as apostates do deserve to be murdered, it may not be such a good idea to reveal it our friend zeek at this moment.
he may find it a tad over the top.
"...Remember, this article is not in the public domain. "
Bzzzzz...WRONG! It is. Your self-righteous leaders put it there on jw (dot) org...
i saw an article on the bbc sayng that zambia has one of the fastest growing populations of any country on earth.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15433140.
i thought that was interesting because zambia also has an unusually high proportion of jws.
if zambia's population ever does reach 100 million on current trends that could include something like 2 million practising jws and 7 million at the memorial.
Right, and their total contributions to the worldwide fund is about $ (10MM) - that is negative ten million dollars...
this is not a prophesy, folks, but rather a train of thought to pursue about the organization, especially in light of its recent legal problems.. could the magazines collapse?
the watchtower is published in 188 languages?
and the awake a rather huge number as well?.
Their collapse is just around the corner, or shall we say "imminent"
if you are closest in time and place, call me and let me know if it starts........................
Hmm..I think it's a load of bull$hit...
just saw it on jw.org.
both jan 15, 2012 kool-aid and super-dumb-kool-aid now have a techy-kinda bloggish feel... imo.... no time to look into contents now, but at a first glance seems the artwork is scarce...whaddayathink?.

have been a member of jwr since 2008 and have not been to hall since june 2009, have celebrated 2 yrs without memorial - woohoo - that being said i have stopped by here frequently and decided yesterday to join your group.. it has been very enjoyable to read your stories as well as the other group i have been with, and so it just seemed reasonable to belong to both.. my story is no differant than all the others, the only thing is i was not born in.
that being said i also have no real issues with being an apostate (although i do believe it is used in the perjorative sense by the wt).. peace - brad.
Yo, welcome!
i'll keep this brief for now.. long time lurker (4 years or so).. born-in, elder, used on district level (last talk i gave before i left was the baptisimal talk), and lots of hard time put in...before i finally made the move to split.
it's a long stoy, much like many of yours...but with it's own little interesting twists.
more details in the future, perhaps.. as i said, ive lurked here for a while.. its funny: for a long time i'd only come on late at night.
Welcome! May your unfolding (on this board) story be an inspiration for other lurkers out there.
Pop open a cold one, grab a seat and feel like home. We are a good family.

i never found statistics on the amount of paper the wtbts wastes, but i think they're might be a little hypocritical by parading the "he will bring to ruin those ruining the earth" verse that they always quote.
it got me curious and i decided to crunch some numbers.... they print 42 million washtowels a month, more than any other magazine in the world (http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/wp_e_20110501.pdf).
Hm, you on the money, bro...
...problem is, they are on the money too.
It is a business and the minute it does not make financial sense, there will be an "adjustment".
This is in no way to say that the paper waste is not tremendous, so is with printed catalogs in circulation. I am yet to see, however, Macy's catalog spewing hatred towards, say, JCPenney customers.....
are you a member of the homosexual community?
) can you say that you have honestly found satisfaction and fulfillment in that way of life?
(being true to myself has brought me great happiness yes.
Right, that "choice" thingy thrown around is funny....I wish I could ask the (anonymous) authors of this article when did they CHOOSE to be straight?
Did they sit down one day with a pad of paper and pencil and listed all the pros and cons of each lifestyle and then made a CHOISE?
Did they maybe TRY it both ways and the heterosexual experience and way of life ended up being what they really liked?
A bunch of bozos that have absolutely no training in human psychology, physiology or any scientific knowledge to that matter telling me how to live my life....why don't you GTFOOH
