as with john cleese's apoplectic performance, there is never any admission that the "preaching" work, door to door in particular, is dead and has been for some time.
I meant to say 70-80 percent of the Witnesses are brought in by auxiliary service
I suspect that any increase that we see related to the born in. The only exception is less developed countries. The problem with growth in these areas is that they require resources. As we know the society is trying to cut costs, which is hard when the only recruits interested in the message have no monetary advantage to offer.
while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.
i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.
this has left a huge hole in my soul.
purrpurr, "what am I supposed to believe now?" I have been there, done that, and bought the t shirt.
So where do we go from here is the eternal question, and one that is thrown out to you as a challenge. Keep in mind the Watchtower hopes you don't take the challenge.
But the answer to where do you go from here is - anywhere you want to. You have found a freedom that very few people enjoy. Take advantage of this freedom and explore without committing. I can assure you that within a few years you have found your purpose that will sustain you for many years.

Met, power = money and money = power. But in the end it is all about power. I am reading for the umpthing time The Fountainhead; our conversation has forced me to recount multiple times the Ellsworth Toohey speech to Peter Keating about how to rule the souls of people.

If you don't see this as the playbook of the GB, I don't know what is.
"stay alive till '75.
" remember that?
note: this is the year 5774 not 2014. why didn't they tell you that in 5735 (1975 ad?
A little focus would help. As I tell my students, if you don't cite, it is simply your opinion.

Met, I think we are saying the same thing but only disagree about the degree. I think it is "ALL' about money. It sounds like you suggest it is "mostly" about money. Time will tell.
I always visualized Eve with larger breasts. But nice ass.

My point here is: why did they cut assembly days? why have they chopped magazines down to a pathetic 16 pages? why have they told people to print your own Daily Text and Calendar?
Of course the answer to all of this is the money. Follow the money and you will find your answer. The field service used to be a revenue center - selling magazines. Now, it is a cost center - every magazine given away is a cost. Thus, the goal is to get rid of costs. Do away with anything that costs money.
They have found the next cash cow - real estate. We see how the focus is now on selling old building at market prices and building with free labor. Great gig.
To a point I attempted to make earlier - any changes to the preching activity will be driven by reducing costs and without consideration to how it impact the r&f.
i haven't come across any arguement that does not involve secular history and external references.
in fact the wt can not get to 607 bce without using external sources as in knowing that they need to get back from 1914 ce to 607 bce, and botching an argument using an external date as reference to create their start point at 537 bce.. i realize that to get the final date we must provide a fixed figure from somewhere which can only be a historical source, but the objective would be to disprove the wt flim flam.
once that is achieve we can use which ever fixed historical point they wish to chose.
When you lose 607 you lose 1914.
Simple as that.
Excactly, this is why this discussion is so important.
