Nicolaou,
I think you misunderstood. I wasn't looking for a debate, but was just wondering what you meant by the statement....it could be taken more than one way.
I will look at that link. Maybe I'll get the answer there.

Recent C.O. visit: Bad news re: U.S. English meeting attendance
by Open mind invisiting a nearby town during his thursday night service talk mentioned how poor meeting attendance is in the english-speaking u.s. congregations.
he said that when the gb reduced the weekly meetings from 3 to 2, there was a brief surge in meeting attendance percentages.
after a few months it began to slide and it hasn't stopped sliding.

"...the national average meeting attendance for English congregations is around 75% of publisher cards in the file."
I'm surprised it's that much. It was worse than that for years before I stopped attending, in my little town with 2 English congregations.
I remember in the pre-1975 boom, meeting attendance was always way over 100%.
"...push yourself to go even though you're dead tired..."
Push -- that's the problem. The Watchtower doesn't know how to lead. People are on to Watchtower misinformation, and they will only get wiser to it. As more people learn, meeting attendance will drop even more. Cracking the whip harder will only back fire.

Nicolaou said, I'd say that the first four words of the Bible are definately the biggest lie ever published!
"In the beginning God..." (Gen 1:1)
Are you saying there is no God, which is all the 4 words say?
Or are you going past the 4 words, and saying God didn't create things?
Not taking issue here, just trying to get what you meant.

Mankelli said,

I, and probably most here, would recommend that you read it with an open mind and open heart.
Sadly, the Watchtower disagrees.

@ LostGeneration. I liked your rebuttal too. I took the liberty of adding just a few more words to it.
Rebuttal:
Some believed Armageddon would come in 1914. It did not. Thus the prophecy of the WTBTS rang hollow.
Some believed Armageddon would come in 1925. It did not. Thus the prophecy of the WTBTS rang hollow.
Some believed Armageddon would come in 1975. It did not. Thus the prophecy of the WTBTS rang hollow.
Some believed Armageddon would come before the generation that saw 1914 passed away. It did not. Thus the prophecy of the WTBTS rang hollow.
Does anyone hear an echo in here?

...one dude has an arrow stuck in his back.
And another has a spear all the way through him. Such horrible scare tactics....what a wonderful, godly way to teach children.

@ Smiddy
Could you explain the 48 year generation in a little more detail? I'm having trouble getting it.
Mt 1:14 says,
14 A′zor became father to Za′dok;
Za′dok became father to A′chim;
A′chim became father to E?li′ud;I take it that each of these 3 groups represents 14 generations...?

How did Jesus and his apostles make money?
by sabastious injesus and his apostles were once found eating other people's wheat yield.
however the law in question was reported to be the sabbath; so it must not have been considered stealing?.
regardless, how did they earn money?

"Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a four drachma coin." Matthew 17:27
Not only that, but they could then either fry that fish or sell it at the market.
And not only that, but he could multiply that fish into as many as he needed.
“We have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes.” 18 He said: “BRING them here to me.” 19 Next he ... took the five loaves and two fishes, and ... he distributed them to the ... crowds. 20 So all ate and were satisfied ... 21 Yet those eating were about five thousand men, besides women and young children. (Mt 4:17-21)
