  the 2018 Annual Report

  by no-zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a bad feeling that the annual report in the form that we can analytically use, will no longer be available.

  according the post agm letter, it said "this information will be published in the 'about us' section of jw.org" however when you go to that page, there are already a country by country listing of statistics.

  the problem is that, the numbers displayed at the moment are not the whole story we used to get.

  You KNOW whatever stats they publish from now on will be only those that make them look good.

  I guess the TRUTH HURTS:)

  I fear that this quote is relevant in regards to the WT.

  “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

  Do They Still do Door-to-Door as Much as Before?

  by cofty in

  since the advent of the trolleys do the majority of jws still go door to door like we used to?.

  do they still have meetings for field service on sat mornings and sun afternoons where most head off to the local territory while one or two go to do trolley work or has the importance of door to door work reduced?.

  with the reduction of printing wts and awakes what will they offer at the doors?.

  Two coins of little value? Ok! Sure (!)

  last thursday meeting was the verbal begging bowl item.

  in which having told the audience that wt doesn't ask for money... proceeded to then ask for money.. among the usual scriptures cited "honor god with your valuable things" etc was also the widows mite story "she dropped in two coins of little value..".

  and it occurred to me, two coins of little value in the uk would be two one penny coins!

  hello,i found this on the jw site.https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/go-to-heaven/it says:"jesus said: "no man has ascended into heaven.

  (john 3:13) he thus showedthat good people who died before him, such as abraham, moses, job, and david,did not go to heaven.

  (acts 2:29, 34).

  Is there anything good JWs taught you still benefit from?

  some years ago, i attended a jw wedding.

  marriage speaker said something which changed my life for the better, and it helps me even now.

  he told the couple: “the very make up of man and woman is such that conflicts can often arise between you.

  sparrowdown30 minutes ago30 minutes ago30 minutes agoAny halfway useful illustration that was part of any JW talk I ever heard was usually stolen from pop psychology.

  ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

  There have been so many bad or false ones used. Or totally made up and presented as fact.

  That's because 99% of speakers are HACKS!

  I took it very seriously and actually got professional training to be very good at it.
  That turned out to be a waste of time and money now.

  By the way on PUBLIC SPEAKING.

  Even though there is a 'so-called school' for JW to learn how to speak, I found that not more than 1 or 2% were actually good at it.

  Imagine if that was the success rate for say Harvard or Princeton?

  Nothing you could have learned that is beneficial from being a JW that could not have been picked up in a 100 other places, books, TV show...

  If you go to college, by the way, you learn public speaking as well.
