I think it could be for 2 reasons. The 1st is if the attendance is consistently low, the branch could put them on the chopping block and sell the KH. The 2nd reason is the indoctrination can wear off fairly fast if you stay away from it for several weeks and it happens even faster if you have doubts that you can ponder over.

Why do the Elders stress the importance of meeting attendance....
by Davros inwhy do the elders always stress to the rank and file members of the congregation how important meeting attendance is, as well as the importance of always paying attention to every word that's being presented from the slave?
but then, during the meeting, they rarely sit and pay attention themselves to the wonderful spiritual banquet being presented?
they always seem so busy, don't they?

Repercussions for sexual immorality
by Veryconflicted inhello, i was hoping to get some clarification about how people are disciplined for immorality as a jw.
i became involved with a co-worker a few years ago, she was fairly aggressive and she initiated a physical relationship very quickly.
at the time i did not know she was married and a jw.

Think of how many loved ones this woman is deceiving and lying to. Not someone you want to be with, she will do the same to you.

The ransom makes no sense
by BourneIdentity inif mankind needed to be redeemed from sin and death, why didn't the redemption happen as soon as jesus successfully lived his entire life without sin and sacrificed his life?
if he was successful, the price was paid and we'd all be living forever.
it's all bullshit, or jesus fucked up and sinned, so it nullified his sacrifice.

God is responsible for all the suffering in the world. He had already created disease and death and it was on full display for Adam and Eve to see all the animals go through it. Let's be clear, he did this before Adam and Eve sinned. What kind of a "loving" God, would create something just to get cancer, suffer and die? If he had any ounce of love in his fucking self, he would allow animals and humans to live to an old age and simply die of old age, not have children suffer and die of cancer. Sick fuck!

No way would that mother fucker wait 2000 years and still not do anything to end all the suffering. Any decent mother fucker would have done it immediately. Fuck all that bullshit.

US Letter Read Sunday 4/26 at Meeting - No KH Use and No Field Service Indefinitely
by JWTom inthere was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.
however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.
also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.

Elders given immunity for sins in the past???
by Kingdavid41 inappointment and deletion of elders and ministerial servants.
situations that require a review of an appointed brother's qualifications.
25. committed a disfellowshipping offense years in the past and the matter was never addressed: the body of elders may de- termine he can continue to serve if the following is true: the im- morality or other serious wrongdoing occurred more than a few years ago, and he is genuinely repentant, recognizing that he should have come forward immediately when he sinned.

To add to HappyDad comment, I believe it’s a big reason they’re merging KHs. Not only to make them look fuller because attendance is down, but also due to brothers not wanting to serve. They are also creating more and more videos to deal with this lack of brothers that can give parts.

Besides Everlasting Life What Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Offer To Anyone?
by minimus ini have been thinking... why would anyone want to join the religion or actually stay in the organization.
i understand that people don’t want to lose their loving family and dear friends so some stay in.
but what does anyone really ever get because they are jehovah’s witnesses??.

They only offer the promise of everlasting life, that is a long way short of actually getting it.
I would rephrase this as:
They only offer the hope of everlasting life, that is a long way short of actually getting it.

If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified
by neat blue dog injust looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.
and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.
looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .
