Having seen some videos where ex-JWs go into the KH and try to commandeer the Meeting™, I'm sure this is meant to curb that behaviour. Of course, those ex-JWs know to show up on time, so it's not likely to stop them....

192-page books
by Fred Franztone inthis is my 192nd post, so i thought it'd be fitting to ask a somewhat banal question which i've occasionally pondered over the years.
does anyone know what's behind the wt's penchant for 192-page books?
is there some kind of logistical reason for this?

I thought it was the most cost effective size to publish, with the least amount of waste.
Which is why we used to be able to offer them for 25¢ each.

Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo
by darkspilver indaniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.
family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.
set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

I don't get why some point to the no tolerance for gays and subjugation of women as a JW thing.
by blownaway insome churches have taken the step to allow gays, women instructing men ect.
but its not a jw thing.
its a bible thing.

You'd also have to accept the punishment of stoning for adultery or fornication. They're cool with raping though, as long as you pay her dad 30 shekels, you get to marry her and never divorce her.

If she is as staunch a follower as OP says, she will not Study™ with him. She will ask another Brother™ to do it. I doubt that she'd even be permitted to sit in on the Study™.

From what I heard recently, the ones doing Cart Witnessing™ love it. The instructions are that they only speak to people who approach them. They go to a busy area (like the bus park & ride area) but are careful to stay off private property, and put in their 2 hours from 7 am to 9 am, and have the rest of the day to do what they want.

Money... $$$$
by lastmanstanding inoh the money.. this years rc gave me a thought as i watched the money pour in.. at the circuit assemblies, the one dayers now, the “deficit” has been announced and the dubs expected to “rise to the occasion” with their cash.
we all thought that dubs, eventually, would do the math and see that the watchtower boys were charging a per-head fee.
we thought that this would make them think, and they would see the money grubbing.

Moving Back to Chicago - Don't care
by LevelThePlayingField inmy wife was diagnosed with ms about two years ago.
we have been living in ohio for the last 5 years but were recently assigned to a new congregation because of the dissolving and sale of our congregation/kh.
my wife's symptoms spiked after being relocated to our new hall back in january.

Your wife's health must take precedence over anything WT related.
They caused her stress, they caused the flare up of her symptoms. They SWINDLED money that you donated for your KH's upkeep, and then sold your KH right out from under you. They don't deserve your loyalty or hers.
Give them the big fat FARK YOU, then go live the rest of your lives in peace. Don't give them another second of your time.
When you move, find the local chapter of the MS society and attend the various events they offer. Go to the movies on cheap night. Take some cooking classes together. Just don't let the JWs in your area know who you are.
