Well done.
Respectful, but firm.
just relaxing with my morning coffee enjoying looking at the pictures fipper shared of the camping trip when the dreaded knock came.
of course the dogs beat me to the door followed by my daughter trying to catch them, she looks through the giant peep hole and waves me away saying "its them.
" i almost just walked away from the door when i saw the sweet face of a 5/6 year old little boy with his mom and dad and couldn't resist talking to them.. i opened the door and smiled and said jehovah's witnesses?
Well done.
Respectful, but firm.
let the merging begin!!!.
to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territory.
re: fully utilizing kingdom hall auditoriums.
Do you think they might discontinue the year book due to the negative (possible) growth?
Or just leave out the figures, and put it down to: "As an organisation, we shouldn't care about numbers"....
Anything is now possible in this cult.
I do wonder when their will be an "eureka" moment, where a large percentage of JWs suddenly question what the f*ck is going on.
any guess?.

german translation: .
They can easily change it.
Like everything else, the R&F will lap that shit up.
The other stuff, like the WT CD being discontinued would raise some eyebrows.
All meeting parts being broadcast? That would wake a LOT of people up, or just cause a sense of indifference toward the organisation.
nasa's probe "new horizons" was launched in 2006 and since then has been speeding across 3 billion miles of space to the most distant planet in our solar system.. the first pictures arrived today with higher resolution images due tomorrow.. i fu~~ing love science.. more details from the bbc here.... .
What mankind has achieved in the last 50 years is absolutely astonishing.
The 21st century is a great century to be alive.
What we will achieve in the next 50 years is beyond thought, and i'll be happy i'm alive to see it.
Dare i say a cure to ageing may be on the distant horizon. How about that WT?
well, once again my "friend" has shared their notes with me from the latest co visit.
besides the usual 1914 assertions/ world getting worse all the time/ our day is the worst of all time nonsense, the co mentioned some interesting things.
number one won't surprise you.
Probably just another CO giving his own spin on things.
Perhaps in the future, CO visits will be broadcast from Cult Headquarters. Any problems any in the cong have, you have 5 mins in the second school to skype Cult Headquaters.
Perhaps....
recently it seems very quiet in jw land.. jw broadcasting has been in full swing for months now, nobody bats an eye lid at that anymore.. so the question is, what is next?
the next organisation change, the next doctrine change.
it seems like this is the quiet before the storm.. the way things are going, it's almost like they try and one up their last change, things in jw land get that bit more crazy every year.. i'm hedging my bets toward a monthly public talk broadcast straight from new york.
I agree, why would all KH be expected to get all that projector equipment for just once or twice a year?
They have been given a lot of time to implement all the changes, then in Oct AGM they will announce starting Jan 2016 once a month. That's my prediction anyway.
This is the point when i will start to "joke" to people that this religion has become like a cult. I've held off using the C word with friends and family so far.

Yeah, i'm kind of expecting tithing coming in some time.
a bit like how they now believe the rapture, but don't call it the rapture.
They will make up a new name for tithing.
Yeah, a RC style WT study beamed straight from Cult headquarters every month. The R&F would eat that shit up.
Maybe they will make a new meeting every month, where everyone has to watch the broadcast. At the moment it's an unofficial thing a lot of congs do, but if the GB make it a compulsory meeting every month, it will defiantly weed out the dissenters and fence sitters.
i'm curious.
what do you know from your own experience and talking to other active jws?
i know from my own informal, non-scientific survey that most jws do not watch jw.tv.
For what it's worth, I've heard a few uber dubs criticizing it recently. Elders and pioneers.
For what it's worth....
it had been raining and i could smell the pine trees nearby.
god wasn't necessary.
the clouds cleared and the sunlight blazing from above paid out a bonus in the puddles at my feet.
If there is a God, i'm sure he understands why i think he's not there.
He knows everything after all.
