I know nothing about congregations anymore.
If this is the case, what is the reason?

JW light Elders?
by Mikejw inso many elders are now saying no to pretty much everything.. they are saying no to assignments and away talks.
saying no to jobs in the cong.
the cos and the super fine elders are using scripture and the elders manual to try to persuade them to step up.. many are coming off as an elder, but even more are simply saying the cost of living or other reasons they are just finding it hard to fulfill all their assignments.. if you say you want to come off the public talks list altogether they still try putting you down for some and making a fuss saying you have to give some public talks.

Few JW leader have children
by slimboyfat init’s been discussed before that few jw leaders, past and present, have had children.
this is in contrast with other groups, such as the mormons, whose leaders have had a lot of children.
i wonder if this has impacted jw growth.

The 'leaders' and children. I wonder if there's any connection between them not having children to their indifference(?), allowance(?), to all the abuse within the org?

by Elena ini have this memory of a gb member once saying that there would be a lot of bodies to be buried after armageddon.. does anyone else remember who said it?.
it was probably in the last decade or so.

I don't have the ref, I deleted all that stuff ages ago. However, was it Knorr? (Not the soup makers). Anyway. Some bright spark said that 'anti matter' could be used to clear the bodies.
My tuppence is that it's probably all metaphor anyway. (When I say 'anyway', my American cousins can read it with an 's' on the end if they wish. Never let it be said that I'm not all for equal opportunities.

With the trolleys, it seems a bit sporadic here in Cambridgeshire UK.
I volunteer for a charity every Friday and try to help the homeless and stragglers to find food and somewhere to sleep when possible. Especially, if there is a weather warning issued by the local council.
The jobots are sometimes there with their trolly, ignoring the needy. Instead they talk to each other or stand there gazing in to the void. They totally blank us.
It seems at least the Churches and Mosques are helping with food etc.
What do the jobots do? I bet you can guess!!

Is Belief in Jesus Enough to be Saved? Or Does it Include Believing Jesus?
by Sea Breeze ini don't think it is possible to believe in jesus and then not believe what he said.
the purpose of the watchtower organization is to take as many people to hell as possible.
they do this by tricking people into rejecting the bare minimum requirements for the free gift of salvation that jesus offered to ”whosoever”.. one of the stipulations for salvation is belief that jesus was raised from the dead:.

Admonishment to the Governing Body of the Watch Tower Society By - YHWH
by EisMe inadmonishment to the governing body of the watch tower society.
to the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses: you have presented yourselves as god’s appointed messengers, yet nowhere in scripture does god declare your authority as his chosen representatives.
by falsely claiming divine appointment, you have led many into spiritual bondage, deceiving them into believing you alone have the truth.. misuse of donated labor & financial deception.

E is You.
I'm sorry, mate. I can't be bothered to read the post because it's too long, copy & paste stuff. Looks like AI.
Bite sized chunks if you have to post, pretty please.
Nothing personal, geezer.

This copy paste, bot post is far too long to read. I know it's just going to be Watchtower corporation style empty fluff, so I'm not even bothering.
Moving on.............

What was really going on with Abel? Does anyone find the story of Cain and Abel screwed up.
by liam inever wonder about the story of cain and abel?
why did jehovah like abel's sacrifice more than cain's?
maybe there's a subtle reason why jehovah likes animal sacrifices.

...not that my tuppence ha'penny is of any use.....
I think (and this is my own personal view), there's a lot more metaphor in some of these scriptures than we'd at first see. I don't think some of the OT is to be taken literally.
