The last few meetings I went to I was surprised at how many at meeting didn't have their watchtower studied. They may still be in but the apathy is huge. Only down side is their is always 10% of the congregation that are truly zealous idiots and let's not forget the young ones who are not taught about the past so they are doomed to repeat what their parents did.

Are the J.W's reaching a "Tipping point"?
by karter ini haven't been to a meeting in 15 years but my mother and sister are hard as j.w's.
the brothers they are appointing elders are at best suspect like one guy from my old hall made elder,big time drug used before becoming a j.w his talks are all over the place and would have struggled to make m,s years ago but with at least 60 to 70 % of young ones leaving the pool to pick from is at best reduced.. 2 other recent elders both young and zero life experience both on benefits one not well at all falls asleep all the time.. the decent,kind elders mostly older and are decent people with alot of life experience are burning out fast as there are so few of them left like 3 per congro of 100 publishers.. then you have the rich elders who wouldn't ever think of inviting some poor older or mis-fit person out to the expensive placers they go to as they couldn't afford to go so they are above the r&f and the r&f get pissed off with them.
then we have the ones who have "put the kingdom 1st" who are now old worn out and barely getting by from welfare cheque to welfare cheque that are saying "the system should have been over many years ago" it's still here and they are struggling everyday.. then there are the pioneers who have a low payed reduced hour job that seem to think anyone who has anything is totally materialistic and looks down on anyone getting a new car buying a house ect.. along with the child abuse issues,the generation change,access to information the the g.b don't want anyone to know ,not to mention the issues around blood.. is there a tipping point coming????

Sheep who mate in front of stripey trees will produce stripey offspring
by purrpurr ingenesis 30:37 leaving aside the whole "joseph cheats laham out of his flock" issue.
one passage of scripture that i've missed until now is 30:37 where it says how joseph got all the sheep to be stripey etc ( btw have you ever seen a stripey sheep?
cos i certainly haven't!).

WATCHTOWER'S basic premise is false (i.e. copy the earliest form of Christianity and you get it 'right')
by Terry inwatchtower's so-called 'scholars' (excuse me while i throw up) have a basic premise they have always worked under.
namely, the earliest form of christianity was the purest and least corrupt.
by trying to pattern jw's after this earliest form of "purity of christian doctrine" the so-called truth is supposed to emerge.. well--apparently this is a false premise, according to bart ehrman.. _____.

The Christians were killing each other over opinion and it took the counsel at Nicea and the Roman armies to uphold the one and only opinion after. -

Found this artist rendering,.. shows how Jesus had issues explaining the "overlapping generations"
by notjustyet in.

I'm not an educated man especially when it comes to writing but even I knew that if Jesus ment overlapping generations he would have said ' these generations' or not even said it at all. -

You would think they would not tell their followers the Bible translaters were not inspired,. This should open up a can of questions and thinking by the R&f. I sure it will wake up some but not many. Zombies. -

When I first started waking up my wife threatened no sex. I believe one if her friends put her up to it. She soon backed down, but now this year my desire to have sex with a brain washed zombie is no longer there. -

When I was getting all spiritual after learning of the JW doctrine to be incorrect I bought 5 different Bibles and also found an app for my phone that gives me access to over 40 translation. I did this to get the entended understanding of the written text since each Bible is a bit different and the implied meaning could be lost. -

Drove by the first cart I've seen. In a small town on the main side walk near a corner. Old woman and young teenage boy sitting next to two of them. Of course know one was near them or showed any interest. -

The only way to know God exists!
by iconoclastic indo everything as god would do if he were present here.
this will attract his attention, and you will experience his invisible hands blessing everything you do, giving you results more than what you sowed.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
hence put to the test the above, and then you can make really authentic comments!.
