Question: How many Witnesses use a tablet that references JW.org instead of carrying a songbook? Also, instead of any other printed publication at the meetings?

Anointedjw.org Is An Interesting Site
by metatron inthis 'everybody partakes' or is anointed is an interesting idea.
i do wonder if this clandestine effort is having an effect.. i was unable to find any explicit testimonies on the site - that is, naming names , as long as they have already exposed themselves to wts retribution.
they claim elders, co's and a do now follow them.

What I observe is some really good writing on that site. In addition, they often present a view of the GB that is more nuanced than here and smartly integrated with their goals.
Has anyone observed any evidence (names) that this 'movement' threatens to infect the Organization?
If that were the case, an argument from silence could be built as to why the WTS hasn't responded forcefully to it.

I was unable to find any explicit testimonies on the site - that is, naming names , as long as they have already exposed themselves to WTS retribution. They claim elders, CO's and a DO now follow them. To me, this openess is needed for credibility.
We are watching evolution in action in regard to the WTS. Who knows what may be possible? Such ideas would be consistent with many posts here about the WTS making the 144K symbolic.
In any case, I would advise the more negative amoung you that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Members of the writing department has resigned
by hardtobeme inthis is what i found at anointedjw.org.
i don't know if it's true.
on august 25, 2014, we received the following comment and inquiry: .

There's a simple way to determine if this is true or fake. If it's true, they will come forward publically.
These guys will be df'd and shunned in a NY minute, if true. They will have their '15 minutes of fame' in the spotlight and nothing to lose by coming forward.
In general, I don't how the Writing Staff does it: they way they twist, bend, and distort according to whatever the higher-ups demand. A horrid example of intellectual prostitution, if there ever was one. If I had such a job, I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about suicide.

AS JW.ORG TRAFFIC GOES UP, DOOR-TO-DOOR TRAFFIC WILL GO DOWN
by steve2 inhere's a hypothesis that we can expect to see robustly tested over the next 2 (2016) to 5 years (2019):.
as jw.org traffic goes up, door-to-door work will go down.
it will be harder to maintain a focus on the motivation and effort required to go "out" into your local territory because the "shift" has started to occur.

Suppose the site is a failure, as regards brining any real attention to the "truth"? What then? What choices are left to them?
I say more fakery and more liquidation. What else is there? They can sputter along having publishers hand out tracts that accomplish nothing. As long as they have the website for cover, their non-profit scam can go on indefinitely.

Debunking the Bible
by Coded Logic inthere seems to be an endless number of ways to show the bible is not devinely inspired but all of it seems so complicated.
anyone know any simple arguements for this?

Why would a loving personal Creator create such a book? Why not speak to people directly and avoid all that symbolism and dead languages?
No, you don't need a thundering Theophany. You would just ask, 'what should I do? What is best for everyone?'
The Bible is a remarkable book - but it's very premise makes no sense.

IRAN and Syria Join the Fight Against ISIL and ISIS! Russia too!
by BucketShopBill inthe powers that funded isis would be the next logical leaders to topple if they are not stopped.
syria learned the hard way, syria gave weapons to fight against the west's (cia sponsored muslims) screwed up anti-syria's government troops.
isis in return started to march towards allepo killing men, women and children that refused to convert to their animalistic cult.

ISIS appears to be the latest in scams by warmongers. Gov. Perry sez they may be crossing the border! Secretary Hagel sez they could be bigger than 9/11 ! Senator Imhofe sez they may blow up a city !
Not bad work for a bunch of murderers who will end up toothless!

ISIS is a huge gift to world peace. How come?
Because Western nations can use it to 'drain the swamp'. Do you enjoy rape, murder and pillage? (well, who doesn't?) A wonderful career awaits you in the Islamic Caliphate! Just buy a plane ticket and head to Iraq/Syria.
Western nations (especially Britain) have had a problem with aggreived young Muslims (who are looked down upon for beating or honor killing women) who now can export them to a quick and conveniently distant death. And they can also export stupid young women, foolish enough to accept being property in the name of Allah. Praise Darwin!
And while we're at it..... I fail to understand how ISIS supposedly makes $$$$$$ selling black market oil ! How can they do that? Do they own any pipelines, end to end? Any oil tankers in port? Do they have vast numbers of Jihadi truck drivers to move this stuff across the desert? And who buys it? People who aren't afraid of being killed in a momentary whim?
There's a whole lot that seems fishy about this ISIS thing. Gasp! Could governments be lying to us?

JW.Org And The Folks Who Vote With Their Feet

so much easier than trotting from door to door.

There is great enthusiasm in many congregations in regard to the Wonderful New Way To Sit Around Wasting Time In The "Ministry". So much easier than trotting from door to door. However, some who set up the literature/JW.Org carts have noticed a disturbing phenomena:
footpath avoidance.
In public parks, where these stands are set up, it seems various members of the public divert from an obvious course and continue well away from being anywhere near the JW cart/display......
as if it was odious
as if it was repellent
as if JWs were obnoxious
I'm sure faithful Witlesses can rationalize this away by reference to demon influence or some similar baloney. However, you folks in Bethel who monitor this site might want to consider that it's going to take much more than cheery graphics to overcome the cultish and anti-family aura that this Organization is stuck with.
