i noticed a recent post where it was suggested the store was taken over by hostile means!.
the person who posted it pretended to have knowledge of why the store changed names but clearly was operating with an agenda!
one filled with lies, misinformation and deceit!.
Franklin30 since you are able to clear up the rumour about Ministry Ideaz and the sale of their shop I am wondering what you can tell us regarding Ministry Ideaz and Gerrit Losch.
I have read that the owner of Ministry Ideaz paid for him and his wife to visit his family in Equador. Could you advise what you know regarding this matter?
Also, how much does Ministry Ideaz pay it's employees in Equidor?
hey guys!
i just want you guys to know that today is a really great day.
there are so many jehovah's witnesses that saw this documentary and were disgusted by watchtowers policy.
Thanks for having the courage to share your stories. This may even impact your previous JW friends and acquaintances, who now know more of the facts behind you leaving.

You're spot on with this Sparrowdown. These businesses are leeches on an already ugly Watchtower.
look at the picture for yesterday's watchtower study.
see the good jw folks sitting around the campfire..... zoooom in on that campfire.
have a good look..
If I turn the picture upside down, I can see the profile of a dog. His eye is towards the top and his nose is near the guys left hand. If it's just a fire then the bottom half of the fire is not normal.
the petition is now going on 537 signatures.. today the newspaper "diário de notícias", the leading non-tabloid newspaper in the country, gave the story front page coverage and a full page to the article inside.. here are the links to the pictures of the pages:.

Well done Eden.
so, as some of you will know myself and my husband are in the process of fading.
haven't been to a meeting since beginning of 2017. .
we weren't planning on going to the memorial, but last week my mother broke down and said that we have to go to the memorial even if it's the only meeting i go to this year.
in the most recent circuit assembly there was a lot about porn and warning against porn.
even warning against looking at swim wear adverts!
so i was wondering, is porn really such an issue in the wt?.
I would imagine that it's not a problem the organisation can sweep under the carpet (or hide under a pillow) since JW wives would be seeking help from the Elders to deal with the problem.
about 9 months ago, i started this thread:.

i have had a little spare time, so i thought i would present some of the data in a more user friendly manner, with some additional detail.. 1. median age.
That looks like it is moving with the same bunch of females. For instance, a female aged 47 in 2006 is 52 in 2011 and 57 in 2016 and falling within those same age groups you mentioned.Shepherdless - SBF: Mode in 2006 was a 45 to 49 yo woman. Mode in 2011 was a 50 to 54 yo woman. Mode in 2016 was a 55 to 59 yo woman.
has anybody heard anything about this new store?
[link removed].
They say that they were partners with Minstry Ideaz but also the managers (of the shop). Partnerships require a lot of trust and many people have been screwed over by operating under a partnership.
I might be wrong but when you look at the goods in the shop, they don't seem to be the same sort of things that are sold on the Ministry Ideaz' website. They look more upmarket and of good quality.
Who knows, the current owners may have bypassed purchasing from Ministry Ideaz and this stuffed them around. Ministry Ideaz may have counted on making a profit from selling their own merchandise but the managers/partners had their own idea of what should be sold, possibly to make it more appealable to the general public. Something like that would easily cause a rift between partners who simply have a different idea about how the business should be run.
One person in the partnership thinks that their ideas are better than the others and it's a battle as to who gets their way. Someone loses for one reason or another and they feel sour about it.
If you have a partnership you have to make the contract watertight and even then there are many loopholes. Not only do you have to worry about and work at the business being a success, you've got other partners to appease as well.
today is my birthday :) in happy to be able to say that guilt free!

Have a great day Morpheus. What have you got planned?
