  Annual service report - yet another analysis - big trouble for the WTS

  by FFGhost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's already been a couple of threads on the 2021 report with insightful comments, but i'm vain enough to want to start my own topic with some additional thoughts..... as others on the other thread noted, it's useful to compare the 2021 numbers not only to 2020 but also 2019 (the last non-pandemic report).. there are some really troubling (if you're a wt headquarters guy) news in the latest report.. 1) baptisms plummet.

  2021 - 171,393. baptisms dropped 20% in 2020, and 30% more in 2021. the total drop from 2019 to 2021 is an amazing 44%.. one could argue that without in-person assemblies and conventions you'd expect baptisms to drop.

  but....if someone really wants to get baptized, jws will find a way.

  i don't agree with evans on lots of things.

  he seems to be a person who dove into the whole woke crap thing.

  on the jws i agree with him most of the time but that goes without saying.

  I don't agree with Evans on lots of things. He seems to be a person who dove into the whole woke crap thing. On the JWS I agree with him most of the time but that goes without saying. His video on YouTube he put up was not very smart. IMO you don't tell people you are leaving for mental health and getting treatment. The idiots in the cult will use this to say all his videos are mentally off. No one needs to know anyone else's mental health if they are not a very close friend or relative.

  Just say you are taking a sabbatical to spend some time with your family. Everyone will understand and you don't give the enemy any ammo. Unless he is fishing to keep his patrons out of sympathy. But IMO the less people know about situations in your life the less they have to throw back at you. I don't think this was wise.

  Can Jehovah's Witnesses explain the overlapping generation?

  by pistolpete in

  i found this interesting topic on the current views among jws regarding the overlapping generation.. the posts are hilarious.

  how do most jehovah's witnesses explain the overlapping generation?.

  i've asked a couple of jws to explain the overlapping generation and they directed me to the website jw------org.. either they don't know, or they do know but don't want to discuss it because they know it's bogus and embarrassing.. either way, surely they must know that this just extended the last days another 80 years from the time fred franz died.

  Here is the thing. The overlapping Gen BS is just that a load of horse shit. Anyone with a reasoning brain can see this is crap. One has to suspend belief and reason to even pretend to believe in this garbage. Since the 70s I was saying the cult can not go past the 90s or so before the "generation that saw all these things will not pass away" was seen as a lie and failed. So what did the cult do? A bull shit maneuver saying that there is some over lapping generation and the younger JWs will not think much of it and the older ones will have so much invested over the years they just buy one more lie. Its sick twisted and shit on a stick.

  you might have seen my post a little while ago about how they were throwing around a new term, "jw news" and inserting it in articles.

  well now they went ahead and made a logo for it.. .

  oh brother 🤣 i wonder if this'll be part of the programming on jw studios' paid streaming service 😉.

  One of the JWs I hung around as a kid, his parents would not let him watch the man from Atlantis, because it was too weird a man who had gills. Dubbers can be such assholes.

  I know of many who watched R movies. They would not advertise it but would bend the rules as all JWs do in their own cases. The thing is what was an R movie 30 years ago is now on TV uncut. I also know of elders, one was my business partner back in the 90s that when we were on a job at a customers home, and they were not there if we had to wait and we did from time to time, we would watch movies if they had them. This elder when around his wive who was a pompous ass to the first deg, he would denounce R movies like it was poison. But on one job we were waiting for supplies and the customer was gone as it was their summer home, and we used the TV. I put in Clock Work Orange, Yep the Stanly Kubrick movie that was very violent. LOL he would always use the singing in the rain and do a kick from the movie when we were getting pushed around by the shop we were working for. It shows that most JWs even the pompous ones say one thing but do another when no one is looking.

  Colloidal Silver

  by Bobcat in

  i was curious if anyone had/has any experience with the use of colloidal silver for antibiotic and/or wound healing?

  a health food store clerk recommended this in answer to my question about such.. thank you in advance.. just as a ps, i have heard about the man who turned his skin complexion blue.

  apparently he ingested large amounts and applied it all over himself for an extended period.

  Anyone watch Evans video on the Bethalite who left?

  by mickbobcat in

  i don't know if he was a regular betalite but either way he left and in the interview he says some of the gb are very intelligent.

  the whole thing came across to me as this guy may have just left and is still a little wonky about talking against the gb.

  i don't buy from all i have seen that any of the gb are very intelligent.. [video removed].

  ALA this is not really about Evans, its more about the bethalite that was or seemed to be still coddling the cult GB. Anyone who says they are smart must not be so smart themself or they are still indoctrinated. I get it if he is. It took me years to get over the cult and get a firm grip on just how destructive and insane they are.
