  hello first of all to those that remember me.

  i'm doing well, 10 years since my missionary trip to cameroon.

  i've met a couple of goals.

  Then too, there's the mindless "Back to the Future" regression --- to IPads in lieu of Rutherford's phonographs, and to literature carts in place of sandwich board placards.

  Knorr's educational reforms -- he spear-headed Gilead Missionary and Theocratic Ministry Schools, which were conceived to giving each "publisher" a voice -- transforming them into skilled, self-reliant exponents of Watchtower doctrine, by weaning them away from phonographs and sandwich boards -- have been all but completely discredited

  Correlation decline JW numbers and JW broadcasting?

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read some impressive figures here about the decline of the jw numbers in 2015.. could there be a correlation between this decline and the start of jw broadcasting?.

  hence, that there would be an negative impact because the gb is standing so nearby, you can experience the idiot reasoning of their doctrines sitting in your own living room?.

  the lett effect?

  Yes, putting these buffoons in front of a camera, zits and all, was a huge miscalculation.

  Their signage on Kingdom Halls and on their literature suggest JW.org is an outreach to the general public instead of the insular "preaching to the choir" propaganda device it really is. One can only imagine the reaction of the uninitiated public when they take a look.

  over on the silentlambs facebook site is a copy of a document that purports to be an order by the service depart to destroy files relating to child molestation cases: https://www.facebook.com/silentlambs/photos/a.571978169529812.1073741826.144752662252367/970409503020008/?type=3&theater.

  It's certainly consistent with the way they've always behaved, but the present document specifies a December 31, 2015 deadline. It's generating quite a buzz in the Italian blog Geova.Org. Its disclosure could land the in serious trouble, since it shows they're oblivious to the fact that pedophilia is A CRIME, as much as murder, rape, etc. are, not a mere moral failing or sin, and that such destruction of evidence is punishable by law.

  One Year Later - A Thank You to Tony Morris.

  dear anthony morris, iii:.

  i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?

  one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.

  Congratulations, Tony, your historic rant places you in the Guinness Book of Records for the greatest mass stumbling of JWs in history!!

  That's one massive millstone (Mark 9:42) you must be sporting on your thick neck!

  okay, i need to vent.

  as a newly awoken individual, i have yet to "come out" to my hard core jdub parents.

  my plan was to lay low and use my unbelieving husband and baby as an excuse for my "inactivity", it has worked for the last few months.

  No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'

  by wizzstick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?

  )- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.

  wow.

  During my first week at Brooklyn Bethel, the head of my table remarked to me "there are a lot of guys here that are "light on their feet." He was a senior member of the Service Department. Most of the guys fitting his description were in the so-called "white collar" jobs, i.e., in the Service Department, Bethel office, or writing.

  Has anyone noticed how in the October JW Broadcast, Losch encourages good works towards ALL people?

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't help but notice how this past year alone has seen the gb start to turn more towards the teachings of the christ instead of peddling their falsities.. study articles have talked in length about the fine works of christ.

  assemblies have been dedicated to speaking about christ.

  and this month's broadcast is about doing good to others copying the example christ left for us.. what's more shocking is that losch actually says kids should speak, share, and even give food and clothing to non-believers!!
