  at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

  it's expected this will continue to happen.

  the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

  The point of an equalising is that some will pay more and some will pay less.

  The WT idea of an equalising is that ALL will pay more.

  Just how is JW org doing?

  i started posting on the ex community about five years ago since two of my children have remained under the jw spell.

  back then i had little tangible hope of seeing the downfall of the org.

  i now see evidence of big cracks forming in their hermetic carapace..

  After seeing some of their recent film length videos, I wonder how much it costs to produce one of these.

  They are building new studios so the emphasis is going to be on more films. Even the current Regional Convention has something like 40 video clips dotted throughout.

  I can see the mid week meetings becoming nothing more than a series of brothers introducing videos, then hosting Q&A sessions on them.

  Tony is the most heartless and callous of them all.

  Completely detached from the real world.

  Our hall is asking for money...

  i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.

  we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.

  it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

  I'll keep a few copies of that magazine back and save them for the future begging surveys.

  Statue of Marsyas died on a stake?

  by enigma1863 in

  so jws have been spreading this picture around claiming it supports the roman torture stake belief.

  this is the statue of marsyas the satyr, a greek mythical creature.

  he lost a challenge to apollo and was flayed.

  Marsyus was the son of Olympus and killed by Apollos, so this is a legend, not a true account.

  Apollos was a Greek before being adopted as Roman, the earliest temple to him is in Athens from about 600BCE

  There were no nails involved, Marsyus was tied.

  He was tied to a tree - I don't know what the original Greek wording is used for 'tree' in the tale.

  His method of execution was by flaying, not the same as the Romans used on Jesus.

  Apart from that, the evidence is quite compelling.

  Thanks!

  Especially thought this was appropriate.

  
  

  BTW, what's with announcing how long someone has been serving as a pioneer, at bethel or been an elder, as part of introducing the next item?

  The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children

  by minimus in

  i believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.

  the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..
