  I don't believe a word of it. They lie about their numbers like all religions.

  There's 100's of misquotes/lies in the creation book alone. All deliberate and misleading.

  The Watchtower's Real Crisis

  by JeffT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.

  i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.

  this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.

  The biggest mistake they made was discouraging families to wait till after armageddon to have children. They would be mormon sized by now.

  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?.

  In the 6 years I've been here they've knocked twice. Had a leaflet in the mailbox this week inviting me to a convention 200 miles away.

  hi guys.

  sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

  just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

  I had an elder at the door a while back who wouldn't take a hint to leave so I baited him by saying I didn't believe in talking snakes. He answered no it wasn't the snake it was satan talking through him. So i retorted 'Then why did god punish the snake'? He couldn't answer that and left.

  How Do You Feel About Trump's Tuff Talk To Korea To Make Korea Behave?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  i know or think i know that trump is bluffing and acting very bully like with threats of unleashing his power as commander and chief a military with super weapons.

  but why bluff with such boyish stupidity?

  i think mr trumps barginings skills are at an all time low and so the threats of violence and retaliation for misbehaving according to the whims of a narcissist.. my confidence in him is at an all time low, talk about cave man club you over the head approach to problems this guy takes the cake.

  yesterday i stopped at a local shopping center to pick up a few things.

  i arrived at 9:45 am and two jw ladies had already set up their literature trolley and had opened for business.

  but i didn't see anyone stopping by and taking advantage of their free literature.
