because our average hours had gone up.. we went from around 7.3 to about 7.5. i recall the days when anything less than 10 was considered awful.. of course now, they don't even print the hours in the km or anywhere.. i was wondering how these numbers compared to other congregations?.

We had a firecracker of a C.O. a few years back and we were averaging over 11 hours a month. After he left a young couple came in and we suddenly dropped to 7.5-8. It never got better in the two years he was our C.O. We also had a number of talks on finding ways to increase time but it fell on deaf ears.

this guy took over the exjw meetup.com group i follow and just sent out this email to all of us.to all members : i stepped in as an organizer to save the group in the hopes of connecting with other believers.

it appears that after leaving jehovahs witnesses you all have given up your promise to spend the rest of your lives serving god.

that now your free to just do whatever you want!

So all people who don't believe in god are unhappily just trying to get through the next minute because life is sooo rough without an invisible monster watching your every move?

Whats the $15 for?

so i came across a link on facebook today about this "divine name king james bible" but i can't seem to figure out who the publishers are?

the best i could see is that it could be j-dubs because they are "anonymous".. https://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120114090342aaoxuq8&p=divine%20name%20publishers.

A question .....

by Landy in

hi guys - new poster here.

i was brought up a jw in the uk and stopped going not long after i was married.

that was 20 years ago so i'm not really up to date with the current doctrinal flip flops or the new youtube obsessed gb.. came across this site while googling the name of a local elder who's just been convicted of possesion of a pc full of unpleasant pics of kids.. so, my question.

Hi Landy and welcome!

Its been pretty much covered but when you have family in the Org, it can be real tricky to get out AND maintain those relationships. Also if you have a spouse who holds to the fake hopes that the wts perpetuates then it makes it that much harder.

Personally I would DE today but my wife still holds out belief that the wts is a good organization. And as someone else said, some still hold positions of authority within the congregation. So to quickly drop would raise a red flag.

just want to mention that i just posted my 1000th post on here somewhere a few minutes ago.

i joined back in 2009 and was a mostly a lurker for years and asking occasional questions and occasional statements.

but after a few months of those broadcasts the ''floodgates'' have opened.

Samuel Herd: a woman saying "if she were a man....." is borderline being a homosexual

by Khaleesi in

not sure if this was posted before... but apparently for the wt a woman's smaller cranium than a man's shows she was designed to be in submission to the man!!

unbelievable he dared to say such things!.

I told some of the guys at work about Herd's reasoning and they all just laughed.

This is great material for the shop/office to add some humor for the day.

as someone who posts here often says,"You can't make this stuff up!!" LoL

Noah's ark

by dothemath in

for those that believe in the flood story as genesis says, then they also are forced to accept a huge amount of evolution, way faster than any evolutionist would propose.. from a basic selection of "kinds", to the several millions of land species there are now, and in only about 4000 years.. not to mention the many types of birds that made it to remote islands, and then somehow lost their ability to fly... not even possessing wings( ex- dodo bird, moa).

scientists agree this was a process that took eons of time.. i was thinking of this because we just had a public talk on noah.

i sure couldn't make a fool of myself on that subject, going on how "factual" it all is..

Darkknight757

That the great variety of animal life known today could have come from inbreeding within so few “kinds” following the Flood is proved by the endless variety of humankind

So like all the animals had like a huge orgy in the ark? Poor Noah...

Seriously though I can't believe the wts can even come up with articles to support this myth. Why not just say it's a myth or a kids story like the rest of the bible. Geez!
