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?
How does this play in to the constantly rising membership and Kingdom Hall construction?
I don't see too many new halls being constructed around here. I know of no congs splitting to form two, but I do know of seeral congs be closed, even KHs being sold, and other congs being merged. And meeting attendance is a big concern everywhere.

the united nations charter is for all un countries to follow, to its best ability.. the united nations is for the right to change one's religion, without coercion.
it applies to both countries who thwart changing religions directly, but also holds governments responsible if it allow private actors to coerce people from changing one's religion.
coercion is thought of broadly, and goes beyond mere physical force.
Can you imagine if we got the UN to investigate the borg?
Wouldn't they just love that?
Dear God, wouldn't that be the "disgusting thing standing in the Holy Place"?
THE END IS NEAR!

It was always my understanding that pubs in most congs were split into thirds.
1/3 10 hours +
1/3 5 - 10 hours
1/3 < 5 hours & irregular

i notice most apostates will picket signs or try to place their own literature with the witnesses.
i cant see how the latter is effective since jw's are so heavily bombarded with warnings about apostate literature.
i was thinking that an effective strategy might be printing out lots of copies of older and current magazines, highlighting specific phrases and words, and stapling them together to show the obvious inconsistency of the wt.
Well photocopies is what I was implying, mainy because there are very few issues of the older WT's availlable.
Well, a photocopy is what it would take to convince anyone, because they all know that apostates change the wording in the stuff posted online.

hahahahahahahahahaha!!!.
apart from it being frightfuly rude and ignorant, its actualy very funny and rather pathetic.
i really pity these poor people who's lives are ruled by fear.. across the road from where i was working today lives one of my 'very good jw friends' who no longer has anything to do with me.
They are obeying the rules from 7 old codgers in Brooklyn, they HAVE to ignore you or face the wrath!
Yes, they may WANT to stay on good terms, and may even be willing to do so privately, but to do so publicly puts them AT RISK. They may be in a situation where it is undesirable to be DF or DA. That would just be a matter of self preservation. Best to be respectful and understanding of their situation and they will feel bad about their conduct toward you vs. justified.

there are many of us who are trapped within the religion and are looking at leaving.
i was wondering..... if there was an organized and well publicized effort to leave the organization en-masse on a certain date yet to be determined, how many do you think would participate?.
one person leaves the org and it creates a small ripple.
Decrease after decrease in country after country. But the overall decrease was small.
Their policies keep people from freely leaving. Instead, they have to "play the game" by getting a few token hours out in field service McDonalds or Starbucks and turning in a time slip for 8-10 hours.
