Longhairgal - You got that right. People aren’t going to travel that far - especially on a winter night. I know I wouldn’t have. They are going to have even emptier kingdom halls.
That's part of the plan, then they can sell this hall also.

Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?
by My Name is of No Consequence infrom what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.
obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.
can anyone confirm this?.

Janice, “‘So what should I do with them?’ He [Hitler] asked,” according to Netanyahu. “He [Husseini] said, ‘Burn them.'”
We can't know for sure if he said this however it fits with the whole muslim on jew narrative.

It is interesting to note that when you type "who is behind the invasion of Europe" into google search, the auto complete function (the helper that tries to pre-empt or predict your typing your typing) does not help with Europe.

Apostate - what does the word mean to you?
by Tallon inover a period of time i got to thinking - what does the word 'apostate' mean to me.
having given it some thought, this is my view;.
the org has given the word its own definition and basically use it to demonise people and consider them pariahs.. however, the jw meaning of 'apostate' is a mere word and only has power if recognised as such.

A thought just occurred to me : Do the G.B./J.W./ W.T. religion publicly state at meetings ,assembly`s ,conventions ,or in their publications either in print or over JW.Org T.V. programme`s that Islam the religion of Muslims are an Apostate religion ?
Jehovah`s Witnesses seem to have no problem publicly showing up Judaism / Christendom as Apostates in their publications / media , however have they ever gone on record as charging Islam / Muslim religion with Aposatacy ? in any of their publications or media ?
Because these three faiths have a common denominator with the Hebrew bible.
Why in all of these 140 years, have the Jehovah`s Witnesses been silent about the Islam / Muslim religion being an Apostate religion ?
- Not in recent times, they did print two scathing WT articles back in 1950 and 51 that were on the money, they now realise that they are a big soft target with no divine protection, so best pretend that islam does not even exist. They did print a reasonable non inflammatory description in the mankinds search for god book.

Jesus was an apostate from Judaism, It is name calling for somebody who does not agree with your big idea.

Book of Revelation
by Whynot inone of the things that really bothered me is how most of the book of revelation isn't understood by most jws.
most of the trumpets were already sounded many decades ago, is that still right?
it seems like most jws just look the other way.

"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself."- Adolf Hitler, often miss attributed to Joseph Goebbels. How many times did we get dragged through this is the book study, was it three times or only 2??

Just asked JW wife to quit
by rathernotsay inso i wont get into why i asked my jw wife to leave... theres another thread for that lol... but more out of pure curiosity i asked her just now... "in order to save this marriage would you leave the jws?
", it was a snap call no, like not even a second to pause and think about it, which kinda took me back a bit, followed by a angry "why would you ask me that now?
" (shes going out witnessing with my kids and her friends).

Hi Rather not, I don't know anything about your wider situation however I would suggest that you buy her some flowers and apologize for being so rash and confess that you were out of line with that demand.
None of us know exactly what the near future holds for the borg but I think that the writing is on the wall and if we wait patiently all of it's bad deeds will be laid bare. The rank and file are already voting with their wallets because of a growing undercurrent of discontent and attendances are falling in western lands.
If she would be OK without the cult, just hang in there, and your kids will benefit also.
The only people who benefit from divorce are the legal parasites
