My first post
by thewalker inhi, i just joined the board and wanted to present myself.. i'm active, in fact very active in congregation activities serving "where the need is great" in a foreign language congregation somewhere in western europe.
as a young brother, i'm seen as an example as i'm doing all a good witness should do.. i had doubts years ago but i decided just to ignore them and move to another congregation to preach more.
that worked for some years but i'm now at the exact same point.

"the Kingdom work is expanding at an accelerated pace"
by Londo111 inif recent intel is true, there is only a .23% increase worldwide in 2015. .
notice what is increasing is not the average publisher count, according to the above watchtower quote to spin the bethel downsizing, but the work.
"the little one will become a thousand and the small one a mighty nation.

It is OVERLAPPING expanding and the acceleration is invisible

It really, really scares me that I sat there politely, signing, while a stranger hauled my grandson out presumably to chastise him. Why did I allow that? Some scary shit that right there. -

I had a hideous flashback while reading that. When I was still in, I took my grandson to visit a meeting with a deaf friend of mine and they asked me to interpret for the sign language group in the hall. Grandson was only a toddler. While I signed, he was messing around near me, crawling on the chairs and copying me signing, and a sister I had never met grabbed him and took him out of the hall. My powerlessness to prevent this abuse might have actually been one of the things which opened my eyes to the control this borganisation exerted on me. I just carried on signing and within a minute he was carried back in distraught, crying for me. This was all the more weird because up until that moment he had never really been bothered about being close to me, but he sat on my lap cowering for the rest of the meeting.
I had forgotten about that until reading that letter.

On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post
by StarTrekAngel ini am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.
i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.
it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

Blame wine for this post.
Home Truth; Google it and within seconds you have the meaning.
I seem to remember Poster A questioning Poster X's very masculinity because they couldn't be arsed to Google something way more complex than that. But rather Poster X wanted a knowledgeable forum comrade to explain it. Poster A stepped up to present themselves as a knowledgeable forum comrade but felt payment was in order for passing on the info. Yet apparently Poster A an't be arsed to use internet searches to clarify simple expressions, while expecting others to rely on them for complex techy info.
PMS or just a heaving mass of contradictions? Either way I LOVE this bird and want to BE her!

I am so excited for you both, that is wonderfuĺ! Might be tough for you to give him the space to do his own research without chiming in. Also when he does discuss what he finds out, might be hard for you to hold back on pouring out everything you know. But the fact that he wants to do it himself is a bonus. This is amazing, keep us posted please! -

Video: "Iron Sharpens Iron"
by wifibandit inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joehewofiba.
is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?
is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?

Where did this video originate from?
Hilarious that the interviewer pre-emptively referred to sharpening the 'spiritual countenance'TM...perhaps knowing that these worn out sadsacks, poor ol' buggers, physical countenance left a helluvalot to be desired. Lol @ Sparrowdown #wasted life!
