I think the numbers will stagnate or shrink going forward , the real panic stations will be when they consider getting rid of some doctrinal issues that hinder increase, biggest sign of their demise is no longer reporting hours when and if they do this field service will cease . Making blood a full conscience matter and a reversal of DF procedures. Any one of these 3 if ever takes place the religion will have been brought to shadow of itself.

35Is JW.org unbreakable
by UnshackleTheChains ini ask this question for good reason.
let's face it, despite all the books, videos, forums, court cases, hearings, protests etc that have been exposing the society for many years.
jw.org continues to roll on almost 'it seems' unscathed.. for example, just walk into any kingdom hall there is not so much as a whisper about anything that has been exposed outside of jw land.

PE your sunny days are getting brighter , your brother will still need to develop a hatred for cult control tactics but he is on right path , at least he has a good brother, you never know mum and dad might look into JW history and wake up. This brother has come a long way in a short time , at least he won't shun you. Everyone on hear is very happy for you.

Ray Franz could have certainly crucified the WT by doing bigger press time in the beginning when all the press wanted one of the Brooklyn papal class. SBF your observations are correct.

How do you get over all the things that you missed? The stuff you can't get back
by JW_Rogue inlook my life is not bad but sometimes i just think about all the normal things i missed out on.
and no i'm not talking about christmas and birthday parties.
i'm talking about your first kiss happening in your twenties instead of your teens.

I could dwell on a wasted 27 years or be grateful they get no more. We bred children while in the church, attended funerals , even when we leave we still keep some decent things but just the generic kindness principles.

Going "Hollywood" not helping!
by eyeuse2badub ingoing “hollywood” hasn’t seemed to help build any enthusiasm for the wtbts.
think about it, jw’s now have their own studio to make videos and cartoons.
the ‘kingdom’ dirges (songs) have received a makeover to a bit more modern tunes.

It's the movies that will reveal the cult propaganda to the fullest extent, the bunker video is off the charts , then Sergi not being allowed to join the orchestra with his violin. I honest believe the more movies they make the more some will wake up to this manipulation. The digital apparatus is anti everything, anti gay , any hobbies, anti neighbors, anti family ,parents not even answering ph calls from their non church going children . They the GB are getting more brazen in their daytime fairytales.

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

I was told by PO wife she couldn't car share with worldly woman to work because it would amount to spending to much time with wordly women on way to work. If this woman was this hard on herself imagine what the kids copped. JWs hands down beat the Jews on the amount of laws they follow.

Jw rouge they didn't spend much on mags all free labour, last mags I seen only had 4 sheets of paper folded in half with writing both sides , 16 pages of fairytales aren't going to break w bank. Bigs boys all have according to ray Franz had the bottomless credit card. It doesn't matter how much is in slush fund as long as card swipes . Winning lotto or having a card that never defaults is same thing.

CO Australia Malcolm Clarke pure dickhead. CO Australia Edmond Morassas seemed half nice but I cornered him one day and he lied and I caught him out because I pulled up and told him he was lying, they are pure clergy class .
