Stan, maybe it will just turn into one of those local cults that are just a curiosity to the people who live in the nearest sparsely populated town where they occasionally bring in some eggs to sell at the local market.

Hiddleswife, the WT has always appealed to the broken of society. DRC is extremely broken and there is seemingly no escaping it. The WT message is exactly what they want to hear .

Phew. I misread and thought you said hospitaized and I worried they could not get care in the about the most difficult place on earth that l can imagine!
The DRC is one of the most corrupt and crime ridden places on earth. I honestly don’t know that JW growth is the worst thing that could happen in that place. Exception is that they are notorious for being gullible and I could see them as sitting ducks for cons and entirely corrupted bodies of elders who are manipulative and users. Can you imagine the way child abuse and spousal abuse and internal congregational financial crimes will be treated?

When I was young and brainwashed, I had questions. I asked them all the while assuming I was just missing something obvious that everyone else hadnt. Maybe we left early one night? I missed some key learning in 3rd grade math when we moved school districts. Maybe something similar happened when we went camping or to the fair.
I figured it was the truth and I was ignorant. That wasn't the case, but so many JWs seem to think it's not an issue with the organization's teaching, but with them. There will never be any substantive response from them, so the only problem is that you aren't as stupid( or gullible) as the WT wants you to believe.

WT gives up on making disciples! No joke!
by nowwhat? inyep, taps out, throws in the towel, waves the white flag!
in today's watchtower it basically said don't expect any results due to widespread apathy and opposition.
but you can still bear fruit just by going through the motions of being regular in field service.

That's really a humiliating acknowledgement. They don't even have that illusion- and yet they are required to prove their loyalty by wasting their lives. What a fine witness in futility.

About halfway through the bit about Russell being shot, you lost my attention. Sorry, I needed dinner.
Do you wear a headcovering?

JW Nut Telling His Story Online
by pale.emperor inwhile searching for some jw related stuff online, i stumbled across this page created by a pimi.
his name is steve mcdowell and a watered down version of his story was published in the watchtower https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20150701/bad-to-worse-life-story/.
however, this version, he says, is the full version.

I personally know several who were DAd or DAd themselves without being baptized. Several in my family/friend/congregation circle were. After 75 early baptisms were discouraged in my locale. It was a great era to ? Everything
