  For SBF and Blues Brothers on the UK situation.

  I think that the growth has been inflated by emigrants from EU. A CO told me that almost all of it has been JW from Poland moving in. The foreign field produced some newly baptised (mostly children, some relatives but proselytes as well). Now, many of them are moving back to their countries or other EU destinations because of Brexit and uncertain economics. I know couple of people waiting to be baptised. However, the young once do not want to take any responsibilities even if they are baptised. Many publishers are happy that they have more free time. It is more social group and it's hard to leave it. So, they decide to stay for friends and family, trying to do as little as possible.

  Congregation Letter - 2021 Magazines Delayed???

  we had a letter read in our cong.

  last week that said the public wt and awake would be delayed during the beginning of 2021. meaning we would just use the 2020 version into 2021 and there would be no new ones at the beginning of 2021 until an undetermined time sometime during the 1st half of 2021. at least that is the gist that i remember.

  it was in what atlantis provided but there was no further detail....very brief.. any more intel or speculation on this?

  Hi. They can make changes in the magazines on the go. If you use the jw app, you will have automatic or manual option to bring changes in publications you have. So, adapting the material to vivid/ changing the"light" is no bother for the gb

  Hello everybody. Could you, please, help with finding sources. I need a list of kingdom halls, Bethel's or just any properties sold by the Watchtower to religious or political organisation. It would be the best if it was on one of official jw websites. I need proof for my spouse that they officially condemn working with or for churches (one of the latest Watchtowers) but in fact they support them by passing on their halls for religious use. Many thanks upfront. I know you are great source of information and will help.

  Breaking news: Update Darkspilver May 6th hearing

  by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on may 6th, 2019 watch tower attorney paul polidoro faced off against anonymous reddit user darkspilver, represented by eff, the electronic frontier foundation.. link to youtube video with audio from may 6th hearing:.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wzopjmzfco&feature=youtu.be.

  polidoro, noted for his appearance in the supreme court case of watchtower versus stratton ohio, now represents watch tower of pennsylvania in their efforts to flush out the inside leak sources of documents, videos and images.. these documents and other sensitive information have been leaked to the public and reposted by dozens of individuals since 2017. watch tower is deeply concerned about the internal moles leaking this information, since much of it has been used by whistleblowers to reveal watch tower's private internal policies and procedures.. included in the leaks are publisher id and records management materials which reveal the extent of jehovah's witness data collection and management prodedures, including the destruction of documents.. jehovah's witnesses have come under intense scrutiny for their failure to report child abuse across the globe, not only in mandatory reporting states, but in every location where clergy members are not required to report.. the dangerous policies of the jehovah's witness organization have resulted in a significant movement among current and former members to expose the organization and force transparency.. current members with high-level access to watch tower documents have risked expulsion and legal recourse for their efforts.. the electronic frontier foundation's attorney alex moss represented the unidentified darkspilver redditor in defense of the motion to quash watch tower's subpoena to unmask his identity.. listen closely as both sides make their case, and the judge seeks to understand the issues involved.. freedom of speech versus alleged copyright infringement- you be the judge.

  Hi.

  The Watchtower encourages JWs to share its publications online. Some JWs use its logo on their facebook pages, they have tie pins, brollies, tablet covers wit JW.ORG logo. Why the org does not chase them? They share or use quotes on other forums, pages etc. Why no court cases?

  Outright lies - They have no power to excommunicate him/her from local church. They actually do. He/she will not loose friends or family. He/she wiil.

  Thank you the Watchtower for showing your truth colours. You help me to decide if I should remain a witness or not. And frankly, if I want to be follower of Jesus, I will have to leave.

  Hi from baptized and active in JWdom lurker.

  Playing with words and justifying involvement of the Org with UN in any form is a scandal.

  I feel sorry for Saunter. He wants to explain things to himself. But I guess he knows that the truth is simple - any, I stress, any involvement in political organisation is a sin.

  Ally. I am far from telling you what you should do. I don't want to encourage or discourage you. Whatever the org is or whatever the people in it are, do what you want. You feel happy with them - good. You don't have to be baptised or a publisher to study, go to meetings or socialise. I know quite a few who come to meetings, mix with JWs but are Not formally members. Maybe it is an option for you. You have to decide though.
