Stupid, stupid nonsense in the October JW broadcast
by sir82 inso in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.
restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.
applicant: that's insulting!

Interesting that none of the questions that are considered are related to the preaching work or how it will be affected. They must be realizing it's a waste of time.

They added apostasy in this year's April study edition in the following article "What You Vow, Pay” para. 16. They stated "However, some married Christians have viewed certain situations as a reason for separation, such as the extreme endangerment of one’s life or spirituality by an abusive or apostate spouse." So obviously apostasy must be affecting greatly for it to be included in the list of reasons for separation. I don't remember it being included as a reason before this article came out.

When is the last time you saw an educated middle class family become Jehovah's Witnesses?
by xjwsrock inwe know from casual observation that if anybody does respond to their preaching/recruiting work it is usually someone that is a social misfit in some way or a person that was indoctrinated early in life.. think about all the nicer neighborhoods witnesses preach in.
if a family of four with a father that is an engineer and a mother who is a medical professional ever walked into a kingdom hall for the first time and said they were studying, people would faint.
lol.... this of course isn't what you would expect from a religion backed by the ultimate intelligent creator.

In my 40 something years in "the truth" I never saw this type of person join. Funny I was thinking something similar this morning. How the org emphasizes the need to look for people who are down and out. They do this constantly by saying things such as "maybe a person's circumstances have changed and they're not doing well at the moment" or something to that effect. They do this because they realize people who are well off have no need to listen to the nonsense.

by new boy inchapter 33. starving outside the load’s house.
there is no fanfare when you leave bethel.
they didn’t care about you while you were there so why would the care about you now you are leaving.

I have a few friends who are ex-bethelites and never has one said how good it was to be in bethel. Maybe they've all been reminded the same thing as you when they left, "Or if you can't say anything good about the place, please just don’t say anything at all."

Is this a World Wide Pattern?
by Slidin Fast inhundreds baptized at jehovah's witness convention.
at first sight this afican rc looks as though it's acheiving the quantity of baptisms of another era.
348 is a substantilal number and impressive until you see the sunday attendance 28,300. so a baptism rate of 1.2%, in africa.

I gave a baptism talk about 3 years ago in a Spanish circuit assembly on the West coast of the USA. Attendance was about 900 and 2 got baptized that day. So I would say yes it's definitely a trend, especially if it's now happening in the Spanish field also.

This elder he was just following the rules and guidelines set forth by the org. If it was me and I was still not awake my WT trained conscience would've made me do the same thing. Unfortunately for Jane, she saw in action the power the org has in controlling what it's members do.
