it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?
Trump is only a madman to those that disagree with him because he's Trump.
I disagree with his stances on Climate Change and Grabbing Genitals, but I agree with him on some points too, like withdrawal from TPP, screening muslim immigrants, and trolling the press. (Honestly, it's a lot of fun to see the press get their panties in a twist.)
He's currently polling at a 59% job approval rate, BTW. So...not everyone agrees with your diagnosis of him being a "madman."

Simon is making sense. Those of you going after him for questioning the narrative need to remember what it was like when you were in the borg and how those that questioned the borg's narrative were treated. Bullied until either they conform to the narrative, or completely dismiss them and shun.
recently attended a special assembly day.. guest speaker was thomas chicky, a member of the us branch committee and the head of the us ldc (which has replaced the rbcs).. the last talk of the day is scheduled for an hour.
it was the usual boring mumbo-jumbo.
he appeared to have blasted through his hour-long outline in just about 45 minutes, so he "treated" us to informal comments on recent developments.. he commented on the new wt complex in fishkill ny.. then he dropped the bomb (well, to anyone with ears and at least 2 functioning synapses).. the following is not a word for quote, but presents the gist of his comments:.
Whores are honest about what they do, the wtbts is not.
Not the ones that pose as "Massage Therapists."
a circuit overseer friend of mine serving in latin america called me today to say hi.
i asked him what's new and he dropped the news that they have received notification that the branch in mexico will be closing!!
this branch also called the central american branch (although located in mexico) oversees all of mexico's 800,000+ publishers plus all 7 countries of central america of over 100,000 publishers.
This is just a rumor at this point, of course.
However, it does make sense.
Compared to 10 years ago, the Organization is printing something like 60% less magazines a year, not to mention the diminished demand that exists in developed nations due to the push for digital adaptation. I bet they could print 90% of the worldwide demand for literature in New York alone.
As far as the CO thing, it could have a grain of truth, however I think a little may have been lost in translation. Perhaps they're reorganizing the CO structure and will have a Pioneer Elder that is assigned to a certain geographic region.
here we are on the cusp of the new year, and the 2017 yearbook of jws has still not been released.
jw.org continues to feature the 2016 yearbook in its list of main publications.
in previous years, the upcoming yearbook's annual report on jws was released in november for the january 1st then the feb 1st watchtower, then earlier in december when it was only featured in the yearbook, then more recently with a couple of days of december 25th.
The 2016 Yearbook became available for download on December 25, 2015
The 2015 Yearbook became available for download on January 5, 2015
Any talk of a "delay" isn't rational based on the record. It's not unprecedented for the yearbook to be released even after the first of the year.
due to last years success, i will post everything related to the 2017 regional convention in this thread.. to start us off.... thanks to exjw reddit user ich3b we have advance notice of the theme (this is not a joke!).
the theme for the 2017 regional convention is: "don’t give up!” .
as always, if you have access to confidential materials you would like to leak but need to protect your identity, pm me or email me: wifibandit1 (at) gmail.
Can you imagine all the crazy videos they'll have for us to pick apart?
Good times.

i am presently considering three different routes to publishing crisis of conscience.
i hope to make a decision within days and plan to publish within weeks.. it has now been 50 weeks since that statement.. has the book been published yet?
I have some confidence that this is being dealt with honestly.
But, JWdaughter, you also have confidence that Islam is the one true religion. Therefore, how can your judgment be taken seriously?

One year, to the date, now.
I hoped I was missing something and that it was published. Disappointed, though, that my suspicions were correct.
I just read most of your responses, and I agree with most of you. The delay is disappointing and strange.
I don't really give any credence to the conspiracy theories of it's publication being suppressed by watchtower. The "theory," actually it's a hypothesis, is based on pure conjecture and speculation, not any verifiable evidence.
Let's hope for the best. I won't encourage piracy in the meantime, but I won't discourage or condemn it either. lol

7300 attendance 24 baptised an astonishing .038 percent growth!!
i wasn't there so don't ask details..
Nice, although your math is wrong.
24 is .329% of 7,300.
24 / 7,300 = 0.00328767 * 100 = 0.328767 round to 3 decimals and you get .329...that is your percentage
