I've said it before, and will keep saying it. I quote my father who said shortly before he died, "Jehovah's Witnesses have love on their lips, but NONE in their hearts!"
More true words have been seldom spoken.

JW Chrisians in name only-what do you think
by enoughisenough injw claim they are the true religion and they mention the love they have among themselves as proof.
i have been watching a youtube creator who had some thoughts on the subject, bringing out jw were not really christian, based upon their actions.
he made a pretty good case.

2023 Yearly Report UNDER the Microscope
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/pi7sn2rnrke?si=lnvklqct6nuayv2q.
branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 85 (= down one from 86 from the previous year and quite possibly they are referring to the hong kong bethel that closed down recently).
number of lands reporting: 239 ( =the same as 2022).

Comparing WT year end report for 2023 over 2022:
123,965 more dunked in 2023
217 more congregations in 2023
1162 more Memorial partakers in 2023
289,693,010 more serve us hours in 2023
117514 more "publishers" in 2023
1.3 % increase in 2023 compared to 0.4% in 2022
WT is padding the report to avoid the truth that they are in STEEP decline.

And all the rules about mustaches.
I got called to task for that by more than one elder/circuit overseer. Their rules were "no longer than the corner of your mouth, and you had to be able to fit a nickle between the bottom of the mustache and the top of your lip." I pissed off one circuit overseer when I asked if it would be permitted to cut it in the manner of Hitler?

Today, from his position in heaven, Jesus directs his followers on earth by means of a “faithful and discreet slave.”
Off topic a bit. I heard a guy in a comment say, "We get our directions from The Slave through Jesus." Didn't know those old guys had been officially promoted above Jesus.

NWPublisher app
by Rattigan350 ini heard on the meeting about apps called nwpublisher and cartsmart.
new world publisher (nw publisher) is a free apple ios and google android app created by jehovah’s witnesses for jehovah’s witnesses.
congregation publishers can install new world publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.. cartsmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts.

then everyone can see the changes straight away.
I heard about it and read about it on the NWPublisher web site. Waayyy to much private information that appears to be open for any prying eyes. Of course when has people privacy ever mattered to JW"s?
If I were still in I would never download that app.
This NW app may be the brainchild of the brothers who run online and physical store carrying all JW items - in upstate NY.
It's based out of Australia, with the disclaimer in fine print at the bottom: Please Note: All ideas and opinions on this website are our own, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of JW.org or the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

My speculation? That women would no longer be forced into the silly habit of scurrying around looking for some type of hat, or resorting to a paper napkin to have a "proper" head covering.
If one reads the scriptures they manipulate to force this issue that requirement is NOT scriptural. After Paul rants about head covering this is what is said, "(1 Corinthians 11:15) 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? Because her hair is given her instead of a headdress*. . . and the footnote states very plainly *** Rbi8 1 Corinthians 11:15 ***Or, “given her as a covering.”

letting hair in the ears and nose grow out?
If they let their ear hair grow out long enough it could be used as a thin bad looking comb over, and nose hair if long enough could be combed to each side for a bad looking mustache for those who could not grow lip hair very good.
