Why are there so many adverts here for mail order brides?
by Glander ini swear, i have not been visiting any sites that would tie in.
if i look up info on, say, a particular auto i expect to be clobbered with auto ads.
but ads for asian, russian, etc.

That's because after leaving the JW life you obviously will switch your partner everyday and what would be easier way to do that than ordering them by mail. At least that will save your liver from premature death.

Animosity Toward Inactive Ones
by EmptyInside ini don't understand why many witnesses are cold toward inactive ones.
aren't they supposed to want to help them and encourage them?.
i know of a young woman,i've known forever,who married a non-witness,and hasn't been to the meetings for awhile.

Judicial Committee Meetings Sexual Matters
by Celestial inanyone had three elders (judicial committee) question you on sex before marriage?.
case in point, being raised as one of jehovah's witnesses, i partied with peers that were witnesses by tradition, inherent faith.
at the age of eighteen (1992), i was conversing about the elders with a group of witnesses, and a girl who had been before a judicial committee chimed in and said, they ask questions that are none of their fucking business.

Guidance to sisters who want to see their MS or elder husband more at home. Even you just go missionary, go and "confess" using all positions and help tools available preferably in detail. Today would be a perfect day.
Ok, he might get angry for a while, but if he is normal at some point he needs his missionary again. And since you already confessed you could go all the way.

I've not seen them for four years - elder puts Memorial invite on my door
by truthseeker ini just came back from shopping, was about to pull up in the driveway and noticed an elder from my old hall and his young child working the territory.. i waited till they left and parked.
i noticed i was the only one who got a memorial invite, none of my neighbors got one.
so they weren't working the territory but stopped by to give me an invite.

Yes, but within the same discussion my wife ratted me out by confessing her part. I think they never noticed what really happened before that. CP

Changes to the Watchtower and Awake magazines size! (Unnanounced Confidential letter)
by tooktheredpill in -

Guys, don't we all know that size really do not matter? The end must be nearer than we think. Now we are closing the time when there will be end of much of the writing. All possible issues under the sun has already been published and the human knowledge (or capacity) has reached it peak. There are just no more subjects to handle in these magazines. As these magazines gets smaller it also allows for more condensed writing about really actual issues, like in worldly magazines. Time to publish can be made narrower and it is not really question about last years news, but at least about this quarters news. CP

Will Embracing the Internet lead to Increased Growth for the Watchtower?
by jwfacts inmore important than the reduction in the size of the new magazine is that the watchtower will be actively promoting its website and encouraging people use it to download magazines.
my concern is that this has the potential to lead to an increase in growth for the watchtower.. the door-to-door preaching work has been one of the most inefficient means imaginable to gain converts, and done little more than tie up the time of active jws.
now, by directing people to the internet, witnesses can spread their message at an alarming rate for little cost.. do you feel that this has the potential to lead to a surge in growth of jehovah's witnesses?

Maybe there will be some quiz or lotteries, apply now for biblestudy in your home and you can win all-costs-paid trip to international convention.
