hehehe.... what about printing up some custom "tracts" (JWfacts, etc...), stand by their cart, and hand out the "tracts" to everyone who passes by?
*don't even bother with the witnesses. They can't complain about someone standing on a public sidewalk - they're doing the same thing!

JWs using 'apostate' phraseology?
by neat blue dog ini've mentioned before how a regular pioneer used the phrases "tight-pants tony" and "don't drink the kool-aid".
well the other week, a different regular pioneer, and elderly one in fact, was talking about the simplified watchtower being discontinued and the normal one replacing it, and she said 'i guess they're just gonna dumb-down everything'.
then too even the org itself used the words "fade" and "shun" in recent articles, words that were previously shied away from.. anybody here experienced something similar, a seeming pimi saying something that makes you wonder if they've been sneaking ex-jw 'spiritual food' on the side?.

I'd love to know what percentage of JWs are PIMO (or more PIMO than PIMI)? I bet it's quite high, but also quite hidden. If the shunning stuff was dropped there would be a major exodus. -

Is attendance down in your location too?
by StarryNight9 ini was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.
memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.
my jw family has even mentioned it.

No merges here, just super-declining attendance. Merges here (rural area) would simply cut off all but the most die-hard JWs since the KHs can be spaced over an hour apart. A sell-off would increase some of the current travel times from 50 minutes to almost 2 hours (one-way). -

How many here think Trump's news conference this evening was absolutely brilliant
by ShirleyW ini'm being serious, i would like to hear from folks here that support him describe to me how that news conference was absolute brilliance, he answered all the questions, he knows what he is talking about.
just want to compare note with those who aren't his supporters (and have common sense) as you know this forum is here to hear both sides, so, have at it .

Has anyone told you that this isn't a biblical trial? It's not even a religious one.

If it was one person, I'd be thinking it was mental illness. A whole family is really weird... even if they somehow got into a religious frenzy. -

The "tea" might have been a made up story or a lab tested it and found it to be completely harmless. -

EU Court Ruling Against WT on Data-Protection
by cofty intoday's london times reports on the july ruling of the eu court that forces the organisation country to comply with data protection.. the action originated in finland but the ruling will affect every eu country.
the cult tried unsuccessfully to argue that the notes taken by jws in the door-to-door work were personal and not accessed by the congregation.
the court ruled that they are acting under the auspices of the congregation and therefore they must comply with data-protection laws.. keeping lists of do-not-calls also falls under this ruling.. why does the cult always feel that it is above the law?.

I'm not trying to get him to leave. I'm promoting a laugh-at-a-distance philosophy. Everyone can see the ridiculous contortions without having to participate in the crazy. I've found that trolls get even more extreme (and immature) if they don't get the attention they crave - until they implode into a glorious final tantrum. It's the final proof of their troll status and the (very public) final nail in the coffin for their nonsensical arguments. -

@dubbstepped
I think it's clear to everyone that we have a troll in our midst. He'll keep picking at posts with poorly thought out responses that are designed to antagonize. Or he actually doesn't realize how dumb his logic/arguments are. I prefer to think it's a personality problem. I know plenty of... "slower" individuals who are perfectly lovely and can stay on-topic without too much difficulty. GrreatTeacher is right on the nose about not feeding the trolls - not even scraps. -

@dubstepped
Thanks for the heads-up. My last few posts were a sort of "troll-test". I got all the confirmation I needed, but a second opinion of someone with previous experience is always appreciated.

@doubter
I choose "don't".
I have no obligation to chase down your scattered "points" that have nothing to do with the current discussion. It's frankly a waste of my time. Often, your response isn't even related (or even logical/coherent) to what I've said (refusing to counter my points). You pull up your stakes and move the goalposts (or create strawmen out in left field) whenever your previous arguments/points are falling apart. My time is valuable and I'll reserve it for worthy opponents.
*your purpose for being here is very pertinent to the veracity of your arguments...
