  editorial | keep level heads when negotiating jehovah's witnesses contract.

  the cambria county war memorial arena has ended its current fiscal year about $18,000 in the black.

  that’s a far cry from the anticipated loss of $27,000 that had been projected for the authority.that’s fantastic news, considering some years the facility posted losses of $200,000 or more.“we’re showing a positive business model,” steve st. john, arena general manager, told our dave sutor.

  in an economically depressed town, sometimes breaking even is all you can hope for.

  To answer your other question, most of the congregations assigned there are with a couple hours of pittsburgh. They haven't had conventions there in a long time (early 90's). There's a few venues they could possible use but I imagine WT would not want to pay to use Consol or Heinz Field.

  Kids continue to leave in droves - so what is the organization's grand plan? This

  jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.

  i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?

  where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?

  They've definitely double downed on stuff for kids. Every week they have new stuff for them on JW.org.

  unfortunately it's still too early to tell the effect it will have. It will take a few years to see if kids who are exposed to this stuff will leave the org or not.

  I went to that place for a few conventions. It's a fucking dump. The city is a fucking dump. Even if I were still in, I would go anywhere but there for a convention.

  "it was so beautiful, we are truly blessed!

  now, they also plaster these affirmations all over social media, "this is the best life", “so blessed”, “best convention”.. why the gushing?

  have you ever heard anyone say, “mmmm it was ok”?

  "This convention was just what we needed"

  "Food at the proper time"

  "You can tell the slave is getting us ready for something coming soon"

  Stuff said at every convention ever.

  i was watching serena win yet another wimbledon title recently (congrats to her) but it got me to thinking about her for a moment.

  she identifies herself as a jw and if you look up any info on her it will tell you that her religion is jw so that means that she herself and the rest of the world identifies her as a jw.. for those of us who are df'd as well as those of you who are about to be df'd what is the reason?

  and what is the main difference between a df and a fade away?

  "I think I also said the normal publisher would be treated differently."

  
  

  Well there's the problem. The Williams sisters ARE NOT PUBLISHERS. They may have been years and years ago but the sure as shit aren't now.

  Darryl, you keep talking about what WT would do to OTHER people.

  I'm going to state this as simply as possible: What should the WT do to the Williams sisters?

  Darryl, what is WT supposed to do?

  They can't be disfellowshipped or disassociated in absentia. They weren't even unbaptized publishers as far as I'm aware, so they can't be removed as one.

  What can WT do?

  Someone can identify with whatever religion they want.

  The Williams sisters have never been baptized.

  You can't be disfellowshipped OR disassociated if you've never been baptized.

  Not really sure of the point of this thread. What is the WT org supposed to do with them?
