go to the website to read the comments by xjws.. jehovahs witnesses bring millions of dollars to long beach.
jehovah's witnesses hold a series of regional conventions in long beach every summer, bringing some 150,000 witnesses from across the southland over the course of 15 weekends.
Great article which I hope the Witnesses i the area read.

i run into 70 yr old jw's working houses, i watch how long they stand at doors with no one answering.
so i come up and ask you know someone living here?
you been standing at the door a long time.
I just can't figure out if Jehovah's Witnesses are more like zombies or robots. Elders and MS are most like robots and the rank and file are more like zombies, but it is difficult to discern the line of demarcation.
i've gotten nowhere debating theology with the jws in my life as a result of circular logic.
are you 100% sure of your beliefs?.
have you proven them to yourself?.
I tried some of these with my still in daughter and nephew and just get glassy eyed silence from them.
after more than a month of not attending the meetings, my girls will be returning to the meeting tomorrow.
their father is taking them.
i was so happy because my girls were free from the boredom, drudgery and mind control inflicted upon those that attend.
You can get your kids out because they are still young and it sounds like they are already questioning the craziness they are learning at the Kingdom Hall.
now in no way am i trying to discredit anyones beliefs or make fun, but once you get to heaven what is the plan once you get there.. of course, we always overlay extremely physical things upon the experience of heaven... milk and honey... ruiling over the earth etc... truthful the whole idea sounds so boring / mundane /monotonous.
spending all of eternity serving god by carry messages here and there?.
watching humans... i guess spending time with family that are also there and reminiscing.
I would love to live forever in a paradise earth. That is why I swallowed the BS they were constantly dishing out. I love my daughter and grandson and want to see them forever. Guess I am just a typical momma.
how can i tell without even looking at the schedule that it is time for the review?
my wife decides she is not going to the meeting.
she told me earlier this week we had an invitation for dinner/drinks with one of our neighbors down the street.
Everyone is afraid to answer for fear of humiliating themselves by not answering the question using the exact approved phrasing that the conductor is looking for. It is a collasal waste of time.
i have learnt to keep my mouth shut in public and my "real life".
this is a huge advancement.
i kind of screwed up by telling some of ttatt to someone about two weeks ago (the conversation just took a weird turn), but thankfully, he has even more "apostate" doubts than i do!!
If we all work to help someone learn ttatt, and they in turn help others to learn ttatt, it is just a matter of time.
Last night we saw the movie "the Butler." It dealt heavily on racism and the civil rights movement in the 50's, 60's & 70's. It started as a small movement and now, most young people I talked to don't even know the extent of the problem.
The WTBTS will go down, if we all work to promote awareness.

hundreds were present in brooklyn to see this event..
We loved watching this historic moment. Thank you for posting it.
Is this a sign of how deep we are into the time of the end? I can just hear the stupid dubs asking this question.
years ago you read my horror stories about being raped by a jw.
i was nine years old when this took place, now the man has been getting all his works in order.
what do i do to stop the seventy-year old pedophile from getting his position back?
Take him down! Do whatever you must, but take this man and this stinking organization down!
the article who really is the faithful and discreet slave in the july 15, 2013, watchtower contains a curious comment.
in paragraph 10 it is stated: "in recent decades, that slave has been closely identified with the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.".
can anyone tell me who in recent decades has closely identified that slave with the gb?
The governing body is a self appointed faithful & discreet slave. No one else outside the organization would identify them as such.
