I am sure there will be prayers of "go in peace and be well fed" offered on behalf of only the JWs in Florida from the platforms of many local Kingdom Halls.

I was too mesmerized by the number of empty chairs at the meeting to even notice the young woman carrying the microphone in pants.

Another congregation closed
by hoser in15 years ago there were 5 congregations now there is only one and it is still struggling.
congregations closing their doors doesn’t mean business is good.
it looks like this last one to fold had no young witnesses, they either left the religion or moved.

Imagine trying to explain to your young child's school teacher that the reason little Johnny JW's grades are slipping is he doesn't get enough sleep as the soonest he gets to bed on a meeting night is 10:00PM.
The one thing the Hateful Eight has always lacked is love for their own people. How ironic that the only mark of a Christian is love. Not faith. Not obedience. Love.

Yet another mo' money video!
by nowwhat? in(in the what's new section) apparently jehovah is still failing to provide the necessary funds so have to beg and petition men for support even though we said we'd never do that!.
new angle, if you want to make friends with jehovah and jesus we need more of your unrighteous riches .
apparently jehovah is in the protection racket now.

Here are some things that should be tracked to calculate statistics -
- How many times a month does the Watchtower ask for money?
- How many (what percentage) or articles ask for money?
- How many videos (what percentage) ask for money?

We didn't realize it because we were too busy thinking we were in the right and everyone else was in the wrong. Nothing negative would ever applied to the Watchtower. It's a stroking of the Ego.

Is Jehovah WITHHOLDING something from Jesus?
by BoogerMan in(matthew 28:18) jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “all authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.. (1 corinthians 15:27) for god “subjected all things under his feet.”.
according to the washtowel, jesus is not going to have all of jehovah's power & authority, because he'll [jesus] need 144,000 dead/resurrected humans to help him run the earth: .

In fiction this is referred to as a "plot hole". Plot holes only occur in fiction.

It's hard for me to say.
I used to think I would have joined the military. I do not believe that now.
I used to think I would have started my career about 4 years earlier. I am not sure I would be a police officer again.
I certainly would have stopped being a Witness at 18.

Bullied At School
by Lost in the fog injust curious about the rest of you.
i was bullied quite badly throughout my school years because of being a witness and not participating in religious holidays, sporting celebrations, assembly (worship), and the like.. it was mostly from other pupils but there were a couple of teachers who definitely treated me badly.
that was back when uk teachers still caned pupils or were allowed to hurl the heavy wooden blackboard duster across the room at them.... i still have ptsd flashbacks on some of those events even after 50 years!

I was verbally harassed for being a JW from 1st - 7th grade. Then my father moved the family to another state. Once I was in middle school in the new state no one ever found out I was a Witness. Not until high school and that was only because the other Witness kids outed me.
