More have left the filthy disgusting cult than have been enticed in by 'witnessing(tm)' in my experience. This is based on the folk in congos I've been in or associated with over the years.

How many new converts do you remember as a JW?
by SydBarrett ininspired by the "whats the reason you think jw's are in decline" thread.
my belief is that almost all the growth, at least in the western world is due to jw's having kids.
i was a 4th generation jw from birth till about age 20, so the timeframe i can comment on would be my teen years.

Likes and Dislikes. How about making the identities known to the poster?
by nicolaou ini haven't a clue if it's technically feasible but i think if you're going to hit the dislike button on a post you should be open to discussion with the poster.. just your own topics and posts of course.
what do you think simon?.

I'm not really a fan of the like/dislike buttons because of the anonymity involved. You never know if someone that disliked a post has commented after with a reason.
I'm sure that sometimes there are those that dislike a post because............reasons......not related to the post itself.

For those following the JW headquarters reaction to the UK documentary - Rebekah Vardy: Jehovah's Witnesses and Me
by jwleaks inin addition to the jws false and misleading denial that rebekah vardy was ever a jehovah's witness, a few other interesting developments occurred that are worth noting:.
1. an article in the last days newsletter reporting on how the jw[.
]org website scrubbed clean its jw 'news' page and produced an entire new glossary of jw terminally meaning for the media:.

I predicted the Corporation's(tm) response.
It was a non response full of holes. They're just trying their best to use the 'no true Scotsman' fallacy.
The trouble is, I felt the doco was a bit flimsy in as much as it's stuff that's been heard before. I'd like to have seen something really hard hitting like extracts from the ARC.
The insights in to the Scatter the Flock book were good. Perhaps more of that rather than some wee lassie standing around in Norwich.

PIMI - there has to be discipline that means something
...and this isn't it anything like it. Unless you're a heartless, loveless weirdo of the Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris class.
You really did say that to troll us, didn't you?! You were waiting for a re-action. Well, here it is.
Satisfied? Get your kick?

Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom
by XBEHERE ini can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.
this had to come down from the top.
maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

WTW - And what about those situations where it's either Zoom or nothing?
Let's hope it's nothing.
The less the noise of propaganda is the more people will wake up and leave.

Dodgy Knees - let's call it what it is - evil,abusive practice, they are going to struggle to keep their charitable status.
They are utter liars. They carefully use words to convey an idea that is not true but sounds true.
I hope they lose more than their charitable status and go totally bankrupt with the Governing Body (TM) (PBUT), destitute.
A man can dream. It won't happen because they are crooked like our politicians.

Why did I never see THESE scriptures before?
by BoogerMan injuly 15 simplified study watchtower par 8, p. 24 - “we need to obey the faithful and discreet slave to have jehovah’s approval.”.
(john 14:6) jesus said to him: “i am the way and the truth and the life.
no one comes to the father except through me, or the wtbts inc.".

Jehovah(tm) in the NT. Did they consider this might uphold the trinity they claim they understand and refute?

What would Watchtower Corporation(tm) do?
by punkofnice inwhat would watchtower corporation(tm) do in compromise of their 'north korean style rules' if by publicly removing them, they could get more money and power?.
if each governing body(tm) member (pee be upon them), were offered a few million quid/bucks each to rescind the barbaric 'no whole blood' rule?.
i know what i think these fake religionists would do.

J-Man - We probably could do with a nice juicy bust-up right now to liven things up.
It indeed seems all quiet on the western front.
Even our spies aren't reporting anything to perk me up.
