Darkspliver’s post a little misunderstood? He’s highlighting how the org manipulates stats- hence the Mark Twain quote. In both lands the dubs are on the decline.
This Polish model of activism raises the bar! Some of the self-defeating aggressive activism feeds into the orgs hands.

Nope I think it indicates dub growth in the uk isn’t keeping up with population growth.
Poland’s population decreased by 0.14% year on year, while its Jdub population decreased by 2%. People are streaming to the troof...
Great work by the way brilliant activism. It’s quite clear that polish apostates rock!

“There’s nothing out there in the world for you...”
by Jules Saturn inhow would you guys react if or when you were told this phrase by a jw while having a conversation?
another phrase is “this world...” or “this system, like gum will chew you up and when it’s done with you, spit you right back out.”.
one i’ve been personally told was from a convert that had told me “whenever i speak to young ones that want to know if the grass is greener on the other side, i tell them i was a part of it.

Many Bethelites that were chewed up and spat out by the org in the recent cuts are now recieving sustanence and covering by the evil world’s state benefit systems.
Meanwhile the evil UN organisation that Jehovah is going to chew up and spit out is working hard to secure the freedom of Jehovah’s witnesses in Russia.

My story and what I'm trying to do with it
by Ft2188 inmy dad was an elder my entire life and my sister a regular pioneer for most of my life, along with my mother.
ill never forget being 4 years old and staring up at the stars outside and my dad leaning over to and saying "look what jehovah made for you".
my response, "but how do you know god is real"?

Ft2188 that's a heart wrenching story. It's so cruel the way you have been treated but I admire your bravery and resilience. You are indeed a wonderful person. Welcome to this forum.

Reminds me of a time a middle aged bachelor brother couldn't locate his shoes before leaving for the meet. He turned up suited but not booted, he had trainers/sneakers on. The PO/COBE was visibly shaking with fury. The Pharisees.

Having to wear a tie and jacket on the platform even in very hot weather. - because we all no the bible commands that...the Pharisees. One year the WT coductor even passed out and was taken to a&e. They simply carried on with the meet replacing him with another jacket wearing hero.

There was an old brother that used to say "there were no atheists in the trenches". But then, is a period of extreme fear (or in your case grief) the appropriate time to be forming personal beliefs? Or would our ability to think rationally be blurred by what would be comforting to believe?
I would suggest dealing with the grief and shock first and giving thought to these issues at a more appropriate time.

An interesting comparison between jehovah of armies and worldly nations such as the USA and the UK would be to consider how these parties have sought regime change. The latter while not conducting themselves perfectly by any means intended to limit civilian casualties when overthrowing the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Iraq dictator Sadam Hussain- attacking the military and military installations. The God of love Jehovah however decided that the best way to overthrow the Egyptian dictator pharaoh was to launch attacks directly aimed at the Egyptian people, even murdering babies in the 10th horrific plague-such a brave God. Yep you heard it here first folks, Jehovah hates violence...

New "Annointed" Brother In My Old Hall...
by pale.emperor ini've only just stopped laughing.. in my old hall there's a brother who's now claiming to be of the anointed.. he's 28.. i do wonder if he's doing this for attention, if he's awake and messing with them, or if he really is that deluded.
when i was in he was an ms. which surprised even me because only a year earlier than that he was "a bit of a lad", is rubbish at talks and relies on his elder uncle to get him out of trouble all the time.. i guess this now means he's get his pick of jw sisters.
he's been after the same one as the rest of his peers since 2014..

I doubt he'll have his pick of sisters after this revelation. The washtowel has already begun its response to the massive rise in anointed ones. Many are 'mistaken' others have 'mental issues'. It was highlighted in this thread-
