I've been found out!

by pale.emperor in

well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.

someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.

i just feel sad for my daughter.

Turn it against them! Deny it. Then tell them, you afraid that they believe brothers they read an apostate website. Tell them, you hope they pray for the brother who leave the truth and don't follow the rules.

For those who are still in... What do you do about field service?

by Wait For It in

jw
friends

for those of you who are still in because of family circumstances, what do you do about field service?

do you still go regularly, sporadically or not at all?.

if you do still go, how do you manage?

crazy_flickering_light

Fake the most time, when I had to go, I only ask, if they think the bible is interesting or useable today. Most people agree with me and say: "No!"

New facts from germany

by crazy_flickering_light in

maybe some of you interested in this:.

between 11/2015 and 05/2016 they merged in germany 48 congs into 24 congs.

in this time they build 16 language-groups and 3 sign-language-groups.

crazy_flickering_light

bohm:

Using the same building is one thing. They reduce the numbers of congs. This is a sign for a decrease.

The difference between language/sing-language-congs and normal cong: less publisher, they very easy going (eat after the cong...) and much more. So they reduce congs they started years before with 80-120 publishers and make new (language)congs with maybe 30-50 persons, runned by 10-20 publisher they also attend the german congs from time to time.

It looks like they cover up the reduction of regular congs with language-groups. In 2015 there 2201 congs in Germany - Yearbook 2015.

The review from the 01/2007 till 05/2016:

They merged 372 congs to 186 congs.

They establish 137 new language-congs.

They establish 6 new german congs.

They establish 6 new sign-language congs.

So the small 146 language-congs cover up the closing from 186 congs.

The Watchtower's method to show that it was appointed in 1919 CE

by Doug Mason in

please note that when you tell me of the corrections i need to make that this is a simplfied, minimalist presentation dealing with the society's appointment in 1919.. it is available as a powerpoint show: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.ppsx .

and as a pdf: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.pdf.

Very good work, thanks.

You write 7th month and October 1914 - did you mean the old calendar from the jews? Maybe it's better to mention it.

Your "Not selected for because they taught the truth" could be included with wrong teachings from this time. You put it away, because they tell, they need a cleansing - did it realy happen? (Spoiler: No!) Because this is a big point: would Jesus realy choose such a crazy group?
