  Can you prove that WT policy of shunning is unscriptual? Will soon be discussing with somebody, give me all your ammo!

  by EndofMysteries in

  will soon be discussing w/ somebody still in about that.

  i want to make sure i am not missing anything good.

  so any scriptures, articles whether wt articles or secular about effects of shunning, etc, or your arguments against how wt interprets their scriptures, etc.

  Bethels all downsizing within a year?

  by Formerbrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is there a huge cull going on of all bethels around the world?.

  about 80% cull within the next year?.

  some have been in bethel for decades and will be sent packing, the 20% of bethelites who stay will have to do their own food, laundry and clean their flat.

  Hi FB, welcome to the forum.

  I think Lett said it clearest in his recent broadcast, "we have more going out than we have coming in."

  Tally this with the constant requests and reminders for donations and contributions, reduction in magazine size and quantities, asking the brothers to use their tablets instead of getting hard copies, and removing DO's and Special Pioneers (those that cost the Org real dollars), then you start to see the bigger picture.

  Once the various lawsuits start piling up they will need to make every $ count.

  83,000 theocratic facilites?

  by average joe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a bethelite was telling me that there are 83,000 theocratic facilities world wide.

  he compared that to 35,000 mcdonalds and 21,000 starbucks roughly to show the size of the theocratic organization.

  i am not sure where the 83,000 comes from what would he be counting?

  average joe the watchtower and awake was the number 1 and number 2 most circulated and read magazines in the world

  Maybe before they got reduced each month. Even less likely after Jan 2016 when they are placed individually, and videos are used in the ministry instead.

  Never Bring a Knife to a Drone Fight

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  apparently, it's good news, everybody - mohammed emwazi (aka jihadi john) has been targeted by a us drone strike.

  the location was in raqqa, syria, a few yards from isis hq, near a clock tower where crucifixions are carried out.

  there are conflicting reports, some say he died instantly at 11:40pm yesterday, others say that he was badly injured and taken to a nearby hospital.. from what i've previously read about emwazi, he was apparently terrified of being targeted by drones - yesterday it seems his nightmare was made reality.

  BluesBrother Isn't this a godsend for dub parents. If they set their 3 Yr old down to watch Caleb & Sophia ,does that count as time & a video showing?

  What a great comment!

  Parents can email a Caleb cartoon to their kids iPad and count one electronic placement, one hour ministry, a return visit, a study and a video showing!

  Hilarious, thanks BB!

  Make your predictions!

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more specific the better :) here are mine:.

  i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..

  Old JW's will get older and die off.
  Young JW's will either see it for the nonsense it has become and leave, or just use the KHall as a place to socialise.
  The public will become more aware of the harmfulness and the stupidity of JWism.

  End result - falling attendance and reduced ministry hours, despite the WT trying to fudge the report to allow more stuff to be counted.

  Elders will get overworked and quit, and newer elders will be of a lower calibre in order to fill the gaps. For these low achievers, being appointed will be the most impressive thing they will have ever accomplished.

  The public WT and Awake magazines will be stopped, and f.service will be about tracts and tablets.
  The study WT will be tablet only, so print one yourself if you need to.

  They will keep asking for more money under the guise of new and creative schemes until even the die-hards are asking WTH?

  The GB will expand in size to 12, adding more middle aged, western, white men.

  There will be one massive legal defeat for the WT somewhere that gets lots of publicity.

  I can see nothing positive in the WT future.

  They will say something stupid to get everyone excited about persecution or Armageddon, but like all their other attempts it will be short lived and disappointing.

  As reported elsewhere, the top two items, Placements and Video Showings, are not sent to the branch.
  These figures are only recorded so the local elders can monitor you and have a reason to give you some shepherding when you aren't doing what they consider to be enough.
