Are the younger generation taking on roles in the Cong?
by purrpurr ini notice that several of the congs i've been to seem to have a majority of the male roles performed by older men.
very few young men are wanting to be ms or elders etc.
it also seems like very few young people are being pioneers either.. would you agree with this?

well, in these 80's ou 90's, there was still something to read... Today, the doctrine is just "trust the governing body, obey and be blessed". and watch stupid videos...

by scary21 indoes anyone remember the video the jw came out with that showed the mom getting a phone call from her disfellowshipped daughter?
she is tempted to answer but doesn't .
she wants to be faithful to jehovah.

that video was very important to my definitive decision of leaving the "spiritual paradise", after being PIMO for about 10 years.

Controlled
by Lost in the fog ini was talking to a friend who is an elder in a congregation near belfast city over in northern ireland.
he was telling me that several of the sisters wanted to put fresh flowers in the hall on a weekly basis just to pretty the place up.
he said "sure, why not, it's a great idea, and the congregation will reimburse the costs as long as they aren't too expensive.

i totally agree with you pale.emperor. Empty meetings, empty litterature, empty talks... for empty minds.
the greatest danger is to think by yourself!! fewer danger for the org with stupid videos and brainwashed people.I remember my grand father and other working people of his 40's generation. They had very little instruction but the organisation provided "solid food" for every one. The they felt very different from the catholic religion they were leaving. they also were deep and hard students of the bible.
I really have no regret to have left this sad sad cult...

Is attendance down in your location too?
by StarryNight9 ini was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.
memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.
my jw family has even mentioned it.

from France !
when i was a 'teen, in late 80s, we were 385 publishers in 5 congregations and 4 KHs in my area. 30 years later, 175 publishers are remaining, in 2 congregations sharing the same KH. the average age must be around 55 - 60, or maybe more.
young and educated people have ALL left the borg, Only jobless, retired and disabled people have joined !
I'm out for 2 years but my best PIMO friend and his brother are still in, in 2 different congregations, so I'm still aware of the spectacular increase of the "great crowd"
the saddest? empty minds, nothing to learn, no bible study but only brainwashed people singing "obey and be blessed" and "my joyful life of regular pioneer"
