here in holland jw.org is organizing for the first time the yearly conventions like circuits.
the whole summer the new convention hall is used for small group conventions instead of 10.000 seat external halls.. it keeps the money in the organization.
not renting external buildings.. the 29.000 witnesses here are divided now into 2.000 seat audience.. g..
Thanks Gorby, my old cong will have their convention new style at 21-23 july and they will have to drive 40-45 minutes longer to get to Swifterbant instead of Utrecht . "Unfortunately" my family got out in 2015, so we will never taste this $pirit-directed improvement...
Instead...
for some reason i found myself shaking my head once again in disbelief at the story in genesis.. amongst all things, the very concept of a "flaming sword" spinning around and blocking the "entrance to the garden of eden" is so stupid!.
do people really believe that as a fact?.
seriously, swords were not even invented at that time!
Point 2 of what whizzstick said.
So far for the sword. What bothers me even more... why put angels, who are hyper intelligent, at one spot for hundreds of years? Wouldn't they be bored to death because they would lack stimulus for their divine intellect? I mean, the angels couldn't even play hide-and-seek with each other.
Seems cruel to me...
anon in japan says:.
i served in the third circuit of shikoku japan.
a few years ago, a well-known theocratic family disassociated.
Good news! Weren't the Japanese the most intelligent people on earth? Well, took a few decades but it finally shows!
just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.
i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

do jehovah's witnesses do anything useful for the community??

Do Jehovah's Witnesses do anything useful for the community???
They dust off door bells.
i was raised a jw and am currently pioneer in a foreign language congregation.
i have been unhappy on and off with my involvement in this religion and am ready to step back again.
growing up i was always active but extremely reserved and a low hour publisher.
Welcome! (better late than never). Quite some listening ears over here right? A good thing.
Hope all the advice and experiences will help you to come to the right conclusions and decisions.
Greetings from Holland!
just stopping by to share this... .
after seeing a watchtower representative paste the same thing over and over, about jw.org being available in 850 languages.... we all know how the watchtower loves to boast about the number of languages it translates into.
what are the facts?
Interesting, thanks. Facts can hurt, right?
Lol lol lol You brought tears to my eyes again man! Would be perfect for a JW calender.
