hello everyone!

does anyone have any confirmation that the governing body uses the business class for its flights?.

also interesting is the information about the hours that were on the hand of one of the members of the governing body..

quite a few years ago there was a poster here that left the religion because he knew it was simply not true.

however, he returned to jws because he wanted to be with his family.

i don’t know how he is doing but gumby was his name.

I am on my second fade. This time more serious with my Internet searches and I was alive in 75 .

The WT org is now rerunning 1975 all over again Now didn't the Ezekiel book come out before 75 Yes sometime around them . the new Ezekiel book will stir the troops into deep prophetic thought all over again. one brother recently told me he was downsizing and moving to some hick town out in the country where the need is great and very few elders. probably thinks he will be a ms then elder there,, I looked at an Asian mum and her little child coming out of the supermarket the other day. they looked so sweet and I said to myself No God is not going to destroy them just for being people and not a JW

Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs

by Lady Lee in

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:.
