Their desperation is showing.
Remember when the elders were told they had to take the lead for holiday witnessing? None of ours ever, ever showed up. This will probably have the same impact.
yes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.
they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.
.
so i have been told that all kingdom halls are to have a large jw.org sign placed prominently out the front..... can anyone confirm this?.
No one reads the printed mags, especially younger ones...anything on the internet is easier to promote.
And wts will count every click as a visit (they won't mention the time spent on the site per visit is really only 2.5 seconds) and then they'll brag to the r&f about how many new ones are interested in their message, why just look at the gazillions of views on our site! People are truly hungering and thirsting for the truth lies we have to offer.
new guidelines for field service coming this summer.
new publication to be released giving new ways of counting time, conducting studies, group activities, etc..
i think it's remarkable that real watch tower history exists, despite the watchtower society's attempts to control the message.
by now, everyone who reads my posts knows i'm a fan of the truthhistory.blogspot.com blog.
and of the new book, a separate identity.
this website has been mentioned on previous topics but i just happened onto this current article "elijah" has posted.
you have to scroll down to get to thursday's article (yesterday), titled jehovah's witnesses child abuse policy.
it's at defending jehovahs witnesses dot blogspot dot com and there's no where to comment that i could find.
i consider myself a christian.
seriously did not even think that jw was that much different...but now i know better and it has my mind spinning.
i have stopped answering questions, say my own prayers to god at the meetings, and plastr on a fake smile.
I was fine until the elders said somethign to me about counting all people who associated with a kh as witnesses to "make the numbers look better" and that people are only removed from the count if they send a letter of resignation - even young teens who may have attended 20 years ago with their parent are counted in the numbers unless they officially resign - this came from an elder. It make me wonder, okay, how many witnesses are there really?
What's amazing about this is that the dubs used to brag that they - and only they - did not count anyone as a dub unless they were active in the "preaching" work. All the OTHER religions were guilty of padding their numbers, but oh no, not jws!
Their lies grow faster than Pinocchio's nose.
the new arrangement for co's to handle deletions (and appointments) means you no longer will be able to give your friends on the body an excuse and step down.
you will have to answer to the co and most likely have a long uncomfortable chat about everything with him in order to step down.
so if you have been thinking about stepping down, you need to do it quick before the new arrangement..
i had an encounter with a long time fader on a recent business trip.
this regular lurker and sometimes poster on this forum was nothing but kind to me.
i had contacted her and offered to buy her a coffee on my stop in her city but she went out of her way for me.
i am a newly unbaptised publisher.
recently i found out i need to have major surgery and the jw's tried to rush a blood card in my hand.
i was so relieved when the elders said i could not have one until i was baptised.. but they rushed to get me copies of the blood videos.
