Here in the northeast it is freezing. A father and son team brought over the outside garbage cans from the end of the driveway and offered to salt my inlaws' driveway. My f-I-l was very impressed and said they're very nice people. They left the wt and awake. My husband told him yes they are nice people but they're misguided. My inlaw's will never convert but can these type of tactics win other people over?

2012 & 2013 MEMORIAL ATTENDANCES LOWER THAN 2011: Strategies for Beefing up the Numbers
by steve2 inworldwide attendances at the witnesses' annual memorial in 2012 and 2013 were lower than in 2011. in 2011, 19,374,737 attended, whereas in 2012, 19,013,343 and in 2013, 19,241,252 attended.. true, attendance does fluctuate from year to year - but it is less common for the numbers to show decline for two consecutive years.. given the memorial is touted as the most important "display" meeting on the jw calendar, what additional push will be exerted this year to get the numbers up?.
reports of attendances at meetings, memorials, district conventions are incredibly vital to the organization's image of itself as a successful answer to christendom's allegedly nominal membership and poor attendance.
when you criticize other religions in terms of their reported apathy and/or state of decline, you've got a lot of money on your own religious "health" - as shown by numbers, numbers, numbers.

Yeah, 2014 might be the last memorial just like they said Reagan might be the last U.S. President

The Great Grandmother Tragedy - New video on YouTube
by RayPublisher infrom the video description:.
a heartbreaking situation is played out every day for many grandparents that are former jehovah's witnesses or mormons: their precious grandchildren grow up without knowing them, and in some cases the little ones are told that their grandma or grandpa hates god and is serving satan and will be killed at armageddon.. .
why would such a terrible thing be done?

Barbara, your grandson looks exactly like you. Do you think you can contact him when he turns 18? So sorry that this happened to you

"New Light" Annual Meeting Oct 2013" Olive Branch Extended To Apostates and Unfaithful JWs.
by AuntConnie init's absurd to think jehovah's slave should take heed or listen to advice from the ever growing mob leaving the organization.
still, it's your problem you can't keep pace with our present truth as we continue to evolve.
why should we listen to the the vast army of apostates and evil slaves, they don't want a gente, more humble org, they need to fight fire with fire!

LOL. Almost like amnesty? Like a local library setting aside a day that everyone can return all of their overdue library books without having to pay a fine. I think the police department also offered something similar where there was a day that people could turn in their illegal firearms, no questions asked, no fines or penalties.

Quick question: All of these faded people who haven't been involved in the religion for 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, or whatever (you know, people who left and have never looked back), Are these people included in the 7.75 million figure of the JW religion?

I think after 2014 comes and goes they will start hinting more about 2034. Probably by the end of this decade and once the 2020's start, the hints will start to become stronger

I had NO idea about the letter to Hitler......
by Flg8ter inthis was brand new to me........did some research, like we're not supposed to do ;) and dug up crazy stuff that i had no idea about.
my whole life we were taught have bad and evil "christendom" was for trying to pacify hiter during his rise to power, and how different we were for standing up to him!.
then i found about the letter dated june 25,1933 from rutherford and his writting team to hiter.

Even without these letters and Rutherford's arrogance/stupidity, wouldn't JW persecution have still happened since they refused to go to war?

False prophecies + false teachings + new light = time to cut and run.
I think I figured that one one when I was about 12.

FOLLOW the MONEY!
by The Searcher ini'm sure that most (if not all) on jwn want to open up the eyes and minds of all those who are blinded, not only to bible teachings, but also to the immorality of the monetary system operated by the wtbts.. every witness and ex-witness on here will openly admit how stupid and gullible they were before learning ttatt, myself included.
so rather than condemning r/f witnesses, do the christian thing and show human compassion.. to aid (shock!
) such ones, can anyone ascertain the approximate market value of the britain branch properties in london?

@the Searcher: please let us know how it goes and what kinds of responses/feedback you receive. I would love to hear JW responses to this. Sadly, I believe many will tune you out and feel that it's Satan's influence
