  My review of the new JW.org website, and why Watchtower videos are landing them in a sticky situation!

  by cedars in

  i know some of the fuss about the newly revamped jw.org has died down, but i wanted to write a blog article by way of a "review" all the same.

  i felt it was important to highlight the dishonesty and evasiveness of the information on the new website, particularly in the "faqs" section.

  hopefully, if people decide to research "jw.org" on google, eventually my article might rise to the top and give people a more balanced perspective.. here is the link.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/the-new-jw-org-watchtowers-attempt-to-tame-the-internet.

  When you were a dub, did you ever avoid visiting or joining some certain congregations because you do not like some people there?

  I tried not let the indifference of those in my KH stop me from attending, but I failed miserably time and again. Though, I'm glad about it now, as there's only a few people there that I care about. (And HOPE that my remaining as THEIR friend will help them to get out of there!)

  It had to do with illness. Can't share the details, just yet. Sorry.

  Terry, I am happy you are going home. The cliche' is true- there's no place like home!

  Pace yourself. You still need recouping time.

  (I am going to the dentist!!! )

  Your a good sport, Sol!!!

  I just don't see your answer to the question. Would you care to stick to the subject within the context it was written?

  (Don't you all know- you roast the ones you LOVE? KSol knows it!!! He knows I am thoroughly entertained by him and this is a friendly needling.)

  Another reason Sol doesn't sleep:

  He's busy taking pictures of all the JW's "in service" sitting in front of Starbucks!!!

  AGEING CONGREGTIONS

  hi everyone on this forum,this is my first post but i have been lurking around here for about a year.

  i was at the hall this morning and as i was looking round i noticed that, if 20 years down the line i was stood a the back looking around, more than half of those at the hall i attend would be dead due to old age.

  if anyone still goes to a k/h ,are the ones in your k/h ageing.

  Hello Sieborg. WELCOME!!!!! Yes, they are aging. Aren't we all? My cong was old when I started attending! But I would say there's been an equalizing- old ones dying and young ones growing up.

  Maybe you can start a post to tell us a little bit about yourself?
