"Considered" sounds like they haven't made a final decision yet. Can't these people ever say anything plainly? -

He then used an illustration about fisherman fishing at night cause thats when the fish bite.
Ugh. That gives me flashbacks to the evening witnessing I was forced to do as a kid. Do they still do that? Screwed my whole day up. I preferred Saturday mornings where we got out and got it done and over with.
Has anyone ever been converted due to phone witnessing or letter writing? My mom searches the newspaper obits for addresses of the deceased to send JW junk mail and she's done this for years, maybe decades by now. To my knowledge she has never started a bible study this way. Why are preaching methods that are clearly ineffective still being encouraged? The cynical part of me thinks it's less about making converts and more about numbers and phone/letter witnessing are easy ways to rack up lots of time.

I binge watched your channel. Have you ever laughed so much and so hard you started coughing up mucus? That was me. Loved all your videos but my favorite was the Honest May 2015 Broadcast. Your Lett imitation is dead on. Love your sense of humor--I'll definitely watch if you make any more. -

I cannot be disliked
by Late Bloomer ini was reading the thread "problem with likes/dislikes" and i don't understand the issue.
if you don't want your posts disliked, all you do go to your profile and uncheck the box next to the option that says "allow my posts to be rated.
" unfortunately this removes the options to have your posts liked as well but it's fair when you think about it.

Maybe some of you board veterans haven't checked your profile in awhile but I did this when I first registered and haven't had one dislike. I am undislikeable, to coin a new term. Try to dislike me and you'll see what I'm taking about.

Some of those speakers appear to be penis impaired. Why are they directly addressing an audience by themselves? And there's no handkerchief, McDonald's napkin or diaper on their heads. Blasphemous!

Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program
by thedepressedsoul inwow this is interesting!
i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.
they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

I love that the shunning talk is immediately followed by a talk on being forgiving. -

JW's Funerals, Forget About The Person! Let's Preach.
by new boy ingod forbid you would talk about the dead person at his funeral.
so what do most people get after living 70-80 years?.
a 5-10 minutes eulogy.

I never knew how weird this was as we never attended the funerals of non-JW relatives because they were usually held in a church. We didn't go to non-JW weddings for the same reason. Any activities held in a church were off limits, even if the activity was not religiously themed. I've still never been to a "worldly" funeral. I can only guess what goes on by what I've seen in movies and tv. -

JW Expressions We Hate
by Socrateswannabe ini was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.
" who talks like that?
they must be relics of the fred franz era.

I hate the phrase "brings out" that some Jdubs would say when giving comments.
"As the paragraph brings out..."
"As the scripture brings out..."
"As Bro/Sis Jones brought out..."
I get what they're trying to say, but they're trying too hard to sound intelligent.
