The search for power they have is gonna kill themselves.
Maybe they feel powerful when they DF someone.
But that's one person less to give donation and help in congregation.
They have rutin shooting them self in the foot in this preach cooperation.
oh dear, i recently made a comment about an elder being dogmatic.
and one of his best buddies sent me a wt article to help me realign my mind or something.
this is where reality separates from fantasy and fiction.

i wonder about this subject.
if there's a struggle among does in bethel what to write.
cause most times is preach preach.
I wonder about this subject. If there's a struggle among does in Bethel what to write. Cause most times is preach preach. Then they have put in they already completed the preaching work. Sometimes they cover subject in black and white. Other times they can cover same subject with more love and understanding. Don't know really the process for writing the article. Seems they divided the GB in groups and every group are free to write what subject they like for a week or month.You get a sense of that reading articles about tight pants now and then that they are divided in what's important.
willoughby assembly hall.
1400+ attendance 5 baptised a robust 0.38 growth!.
$11k expenses however 1st.
Yeah they gonna boost numbers for baptize by encouraging parents to baptize they kids. Plan in place.😋
the meeting today was quite disturbing as usual and had to endure 2 talks by yet another egotistical, pompous co who gives talks like a hardcore southern baptist, but people adore no matter what crazy shit spews from their mouth.
today, he talked about jesus illustration about how if your eye or hand stumbles you, remove it.
he went into gory detail about how somebodies eye ball is pulled out from their head, and what it takes to cut someone’s hand off...perhaps even with a pocketknife...in front of many small children in the audience.
Think does in the congregation do the same thing. They cherry-pick and read only article's that are about love. The other stuff some of this mental unstable person write ,many in the organization don't bother reading anymore.
haven't been in an assembly for some years do to illness.
i heard there are more loving in the talks they give.
is that true?.

It used to be all abouth preach, donate money , follow directions from GB and suspect others in congregation where involved in secret sins.
talking about tomorrow's wt study, that mentions over a quarter of a million baptized every year, a jw asked how many that is a day.
i got out my calculator and answered over 778 a day.
of course they were amazed at the growth, but immediatly i googled another statistic and read it aloud:.
In the western world if does in the congregation wouldn't have any children it would be minus growth in every country. You almost only see JWs kids being baptized.
hi guys!
i thought you guys would be able to clarify something for me.
according to jw’s what qualifies you to become an elder and who does the appointing?
(excusing yourself because you have a "pressing matter".)
Haha thought it was only the elder in my group that always came with that excuse.
the first part was all about the the evils of higher education.
i couldn't stand it and left.
was anybody there today?
Are there any young witnesses that don't seek higher education this days? The only one I know that don't is cause they don't like to study. Why are they always bringing up subject that are not relevant anymore.
i converted at age 22, and left 15 years later (1988) so i don't really know what its like to be in high school as a jw.
for those of you who do know: do teenage jw's hang out with each other?
worldly kids?
Think it's worse today for youngsters. Back in the 80s there were some kind of unity. Maybe not unity, but there were congregation partys and such. Not much of that anymore.
ok, it's time.
we've had opportunity to observe the 8 gb members speaking ability.
now it's our turn to give our honest ratings...using their own form, of course!
1 Timothy 4:15
Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
Paulus is talking about public reading (platform)
There's no scores here. Either you are progressing and it's clear to everyone.
Or you are not.
GB maybe are good at preaching work
When it come to platform BIG mistake having GB members on broadcasting or travelling giving talks.
Cause that they are never progressing in the platform is clear to earth and heaven's.
