I am so envious. I wish I had gotten out then, but no, I had to stay in another 15 years and the thought really grieves me.

Did the organization admit declining growth and stagnation in today's watchtower?
by kneehighmiah indid anyone catch this quote?
"over seven and a half million witnesses of jehovah really have found him and they truly love him.".
why are they no longer touting "nearly 8 million" witnesses?

I think the growth, if that's what it is, is coming from young family members- I mean really young. When I would go to the conventions I would point out to the friends that went with me that the baptismal candidates were so young they had to be children of Witnesses, and not converts found in the door-to-door work.

I was always under the impression that he was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. When he used to be on Johnny Carson he would put the WT down really good. Does anybody know forsure? I won't say anything until I find out. Might explain the suicide.

Controversial Opinion: Why the web site campaign is actually brilliant
by Apognophos inthere's a lot of talk right now about how stupid it is to have jws hand out leaflets with urls on them.
"why go to someone's door to tell them they can visit a web site that lets them ask for someone to come to their door?
" well, i'm sorry, but i have to weigh in with a contrary opinion here on how clever the society is.

"We're calling on your neighbours to promote a website"
by Simon inwow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.

LisaRose, if they ran a marketing campaign it would cost them money. Making you spend your money on gas, and time will make you, or keep you poor and dumb. Just what they want.

John Chapman, Jack. Are you a lawyer? I've heard things like this before spoken by a lawyer. Leaves your head spinning. The thing I'm going to do is watch it all go down, I don't think there is anything anyone can do. It's between them and the true God, not Jehovah, he's probably on their side. Those demons, spiritual and physical can't get away with damaging people and the earth like they're doing forever, can they? They think they're all going to live as the important people on the earth and the rest of us, what's left of us, are to be their slaves, really, really, slaves. Sort of like the Watchtower is teaching us all the time-"you are a worthless slave", "slave for the lord", etc, etc. Don't have families, go out from doorl-to-door and collect money for us. Go out in the wind and the rain and snow and collect it for us. You don't feel well? Tough! Get on out there. It's the most important work in the world. (Yes, collecting money for those greedy ba--------).

Australian brother and sister country band
by under the radar ina while back, there were some interesting posts about an award-winning australian brother and sister country music band.
they had a music video out which showed "hot button" words from the watchtower as if cut out and pasted on a wall for a backdrop.
does anyone know the name of this band and/or the title of the song i'm thinking of?

Sorry, Pro, I guess I got carried away. Someone else can help you with the specifics, I can't because I'm so sick of the Watchtower and Awake that I don't want to read one sentence or do any digging anymore. I wasted 40 years of my life reading them and reading the Bible thinking it was the true God's inspired word only to find out I was deceived and the Bible is a fraud. Sorry, folks, but it is. Some good teaching from it probably came from Babylon or Egypt that they plagarized. Oh, I need to get out in the garden. Bye.
