  Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.

  one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?

  if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

  District Assemblies now being held at Circuit Assembly locations?

  by ShirleyW in

  i haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.

  i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.

  why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.

  Holding District conventions in Circuit assembly halls generates more revenue for the WTS.

  10 Conventions in the north of New Zealand will generate over 100K in revenue with very little expenditure.

  Fun with Google Trends

  by Simon in

  in case you don't know, google trends is a fantastic tool - it lets you look at search terms over time and view trends.

  it can, for instance, tell you if interest in something is growing or diminishing based on how many people are searching for it.. of course it can't tell if the searches are for negative or positive information .... here's some results for jw related terms:.

  Growing Up Strange (even for a JW)

  by GizmoSnicket in

  2. experiences

  i've been meaning to join an online ex-jw community for quite some time, and finally have made the effort to do so.

  i was raised in a small/mid size city in the northeast united states.

  i am currently 27 years old, just about five years fully out of the organization (after about two years of "fading" away).

  watching Kim and Mikey is a bit like watching Kath and Kim (ozzie comedy) I really think his ranting and screaming is a real turnoff. I just skip on till the scene changes and the ranting stops.

  Nowadays How Does One Become An Elder?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i was appointed jan 1 1980 and back then it was a big deal to“qualify”.

  i was the youngest elder appointed in the district!

  i actually studied everything from the societies publications and listened to anything i was told to do.

  Australia Bethel is in a major downsizing exercise almost all staff being set up as Pioneers and doing Bethel work when called on.

  No doubt prepping for a sale of the Bethel. No Bethel No money to payout for abuse cases
