i'm astonished to read that watchtower leads the list of magazines and awake!
is in competition for ranking.
your thoughts are required in this matter.. http://bit.ly/3axlc3o.
The true comparison will be LIKE FOR LIKE . Check out how many free magazines are circulated in the US and how many are printed with money contributed by volunteers!
In my opinion the washtowel n amock magazines are just being dumped on people who further bin it, adding to the overly loaded trash in the world.
I remember jdumbs saying they binned a load of magazines coz they could not shift them but all these are also counted in the circulations comparisons, dont you think.

my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.
my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.

"must" release such guilty members to punishment .

“9 worldly authorities render a judgment and punish persons, whether they are inside the congregation or outside, if they violate the laws of decency and good order.
The Truth Means Responsibility Which Is Why They Dread It! So Blackball it!

One still had to watch oneself at these so called gatherings as to outfit, to casual, worldly in their terms, jokes or laughs too worldly etc .Sometimes it felt like another meeting night with food n some tricks added on. All the clergy (yes they do have a clergy class)n their wives keeping their eyes on each one to see if they conform to jw ways at the gathering or are a little wayward/casual.(dunno how to express it)
I had the meetings for that so why give another evening to this coat n daggers event!

Ha! Ha! The joke was on them coz I deliberately refused all invites as these gatherings were none other than a crowd of free loaders off of those who do bring food/contribute money towards it all. People were puzzled(and disappointed as I always contributed delicious food and money towards these events as I am a decent person) as I passed these over to do my own thing than be sitting around either gossipping, talking behind each others backs, or boozing and getting to stupid tricks.
Nah I aint got time for that so did my own thing , my way and enjoyed it so much better too (with better friends who really cared).
I did it my way.

it may not be obivious to the untrained eye, but i notice it and i know my sons notice it.
this last round after all the loyalty bs and armagedon bs it's like she has stayed stuck in it.
This explains the behaviour perfectly: From the book CULTS,FAITH,HEALING AND COERCION,
meeting regularly is "a means of instilling commitment and a sense of purpose. A member's emotional state may be highly vulnerable to disruptions of this routine, and a group gathering missed can become a source of distress. As one
longtime AA member noted while describing his despair over everyday problems, "It always feels good to go to a meeting."a FANTASTIC READ
