Trying to establish the demographic trends of congregations. Wanting counters please. Big brother needs you.
by joe134cd ini'm just curious?
since i have become aware that witnesses are getting older and that the youth is leaving (well in western lands anyway), i have started doing counts by age group of the people sitting in the hall.
generally in the hall that i attend i have found that 2/3 are 40 and over while 1/3 is 40 and under.

If you're fading/active, I would recommend not giving any specifics on how many elderly people there are in your cong.. A specific/large amount either way could be one more clue on your posting record..

For those faking meeting attendance
by His Excellency infor those of you who are still faking meeting attendance and field service, do you still greet the dubs after the sessions?.
because for me, i am increasingly finding it difficult to showcase any fake smile and pretend everything is allright.
in fact, i'm already getting exhausted with the hypocrisy, i just have to remain in for family reasons.

Jesus publicly denounced the Pharisees as vipers, whitewashed graves and hypocrites, he didn't sit there listening and nodding.. Just pointing that out. We like to deceive ourselves sometimes, it's easier..

Mad Sweeney: Sorry if you weren't asking for this info, but for all intents and purposes it's business as usual.. It's all just word play. They still claim to have been chosen as Gods only channel since 1919, so whether they have been appointed to 'rule' over the 'belongings' yet seems pretty much irrelevant in reality.. Who would dare argue with Jehovah (i.e them)? .. Anybody have a different take on this?

Actually, it WAS you that stopped believing in God, not that he didn't notice you.. If God doesn't exist, as you believe, he can't FAIL to notice anyone. Good point though, maybe I'm just being picky today :)

Kosonen, what you decide to do isn't any of my business..But I hope that you can still remember, after 5 years, exactly how it feels to have to put on an act.. To sit next to your 'friends' in a windowless building listening to guilt/fear-inducing nonsense for hours on end, and then feigning enthusiasm or belief in conversation, plastering a fake smile to your face time and time again whilst trying not to scream or react even slightly to every idiotic and prejudiced thing people say about those in the world/Satans system etc.. And every time you die a little more instead. One day you might wake up and realise that you have become an automaton, a robotic people-pleaser with no real joy or satisfaction in life. Or maybe I'm just venting and you'll get by, maybe you need those connections/something to fill an otherwise meaningless and empty life.. I hope that you find contentment either way. (sincerely)

ANONYMITY (Is it really possible on the Internet?)
by Terry ini should begin by screaming the word: no!.
keeping secret your identity while posting in a public forum is like removing your pubic hair with a blowtorch.
which is to say, theoretically possible but not at all feasible!.

Actually talesin.. I'm afraid that your theory is slightly wrong, in my case anyway.. I actually thought that wasblind was a man (no offense wasblind!), i had no idea that she was a woman.. So I was actually being condescending to a man, if that makes any difference :) .. I'm getting the feeling that I'm just digging a larger hole here, so bye everybody.

Wasblind+talesin: I'm sorry if it came out wrong, please look back at the context.. I thought wasblind was referring to me when he/she said 'one down'.. I thought wasblind was having a go at Terry for making me leave. I meant 'calm down' in a reassuring sense, as in don't worry, I'm fine.. I really am hopeless at communicating. No offense was intended.. Sorry if I sounded condascending :(
