the local needs was about low fs time in the cong.
about 1/3 of publishers are averaging 4 hours per month.
that is unprecedented in our cong, a usually 'zealous' congregation.. my take is this: if you don't believe it yourself, why are you going to waste valuable time telling others?
Seriously, we also have seen a decrease in time spent in F/S and an increase time spent at donut shops and the like. The GBs' flip-flopping is taking its' toll.
And you are right, 'breakfast of champions', many no longer believe the message and stay in it for the association.
yesterday, i opened a topix account so i could post the information about watch tower representatives attending the political ocse meeting in poland for two weeks and the proof that they are an ngo.
one of the posters responded with these words: .
"barbs-info," eh?
I think you, Barbara and Joe, have stirred up a hornets' nest inside the WTBTS. We can only expect overly zealot JWs to loose their cool because they can't handle the truth about the 'Truth'.
The work you and many others do in exposing this counterfeit organization is paying off!
Barbara, Joe, Randy, Blondie, Lee, Team Simon, Marvin and the many other contributors........keep up the good work!
Its' going to be a site to see when the WTBTS implodes due to its' own flip-flops.
however, love for god and for his.
our love for god and his dear son = is of no value unless we are part of the human/earthly organization, the wts.
how many scriptures are actually read and applied at a meeting?
The fact that the WTS keeps telling JWs to trust the organization indicates that they are worried that a signficant number of them won't... Don't.
Good point Ding. Just had to add my take on it!
however, love for god and for his.
our love for god and his dear son = is of no value unless we are part of the human/earthly organization, the wts.
how many scriptures are actually read and applied at a meeting?
St George of England: July 2009 Awake - "No one should be forced to worship in a way he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family"
The above quote is going to continue to come back and haunt the WTBTS. YES!!!!!!
however, love for god and for his.
our love for god and his dear son = is of no value unless we are part of the human/earthly organization, the wts.

Par. 14 .....'The parents, on the other hand, had no say in the matter.'
WTBTS, you got that right! Parents in Watchtower world have no say! Parents among the R & F have given up their rights to have a say!
That is why I find myself with thousands of others on this and many other forums because I want to have a say to freely BASH the WTBTS for the pain they inflict on us and our children!
however, love for god and for his.

Opening Comments: ".......is it rather a case of the WESAYSO Corporation."
New name for the WTBTS ..........................The WESAYSO Corporation.
Good one Blondie.
this appeared in 1975; i was 23 at the time.
i don't remember this article and if i had been born in 1975 would the 36-year-old i'd be today be motivated for any reason to research it.. *** w75 11/1 p. 651 insight on the news ***insight on the news pray now, pay later.
the phrase pray now, pay later appeared in a headline of the philadelphia inquirer in reporting on a church experiment due to go into effect shortly.
designs says.....
Its amazing what's in the Magazines, they get hung by their own words again and again...
How about this from Awake 4/22/04 pg 29..... At traditional Turkish weddings, well-wishers festoon the bride with jewelry and the groom with money. But in Turkey, as in many other lands, credit cards are making inroads into society. At one recent wedding in Antalya, the bridal couple brought a portable credit card reader to the festivities, reports the FrankfurterAllgemeineZeitung. Friends and relatives slid their cards through the machine to deposit money in the couple’s bank account and then adorned the bride and bridegroom with the printed receipts. Is not the WTBTS as greedy as they are suggesting this bridal couple to be? Once again the WTBTS gets "hung" by its' own words!
child health watchtower deception!.
today i uploaded a new article addressing a particularly evil deception watchtower promotes in its july 15, 2011 watchtower journal.
when watchtower does what it does in this instance the higher-ups have to know they are misleading folks.
BTTT
autologous blood transfusion jehovahs witnesses.
today i uploaded a new article to my blog addressing watchtowers doctrinal position on transfusion of whole autologous blood.
what was once forbidden is no longer forbidden.
WTBTS you may know how to clean toilets and remove gum from underneath stadium seating but when it comes to understanding and explaining scripture having to do with blood you..............................SUCK!
that the seventh day was still under.
the man that has entered into gods rest has.
what was the purpose of gods seventh day of rest?.
"No, it is not owing to
works, in order that no man should have
ground for boasting.” (Eph. 2:8, 9) What,
then, does it mean for Christians to enter
into God’s rest? Jehovah set aside the seventh
day—his rest day—in order to bring his
purpose respecting the earth to a glorious
fulfillment. We can enter into Jehovah’s rest
—or join him in his rest—by obediently working
in harmony with his advancing purpose as it is
revealed to us through his organization."
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot! Good observation Blondie.
