Major congregational quake in Southern California
by Hecce inthis notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.
a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.
the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.

Not to speak selfishly, but if it heads my way in Ohio, I'd welcome it. I hate the congregation that my wife goes to anyway, and I attend because she doesn't know I'm awake and it would utterly destroy her otherwise.
But back to the original post, yeah, mother will take care of mother.

Vow of Obedience and Poverty? WTF??
by NikL inlistener on here started a cool thread about the april 2017 wt which can be found here.... https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4881380162928640/watchtower-april-2017-overview.
it got me to look at it closer and in the opening study they use terminology i've never heard used before namely, "vow of obedience and poverty".... 19 currently, there are some 67,000 members of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses.
some perform bethel service, others engage in construction or in circuit work, serve as field instructors or special pioneers or missionaries or as assembly hall or bible school facility servants.

I remember somewhere about a brother at Bethel who made cheese for 30 years. After they moved him to a different department he said "great" because he never really liked making cheese.
I wonder how many of these type of guys are even left around anymore. Probably not many.

by Simon ingreat article with charts showing how the world is getting better, despite the attempts of the news and certain religious groups to say it ain't so (or try and make it not).. https://ourworldindata.org/a-history-of-global-living-conditions-in-5-charts/.

A Believer - let me be a prophet. If you continue here long enough, you will leave the JW religion. Trust me. Why? because facts will show you what it's really like and you will see from the experiences of others that it's not this rosy picture the WT makes it out to be. No, the JW religion is really sick from it's own sickness.
As you have just seen from the facts presented here on how the world is becoming a better place in many respects. Yes there is still war, but there has always been war, from the very beginning.
Trust me, just stick around, just stick around.

Shunning
by A Believer inyou guys do know that if you just leave and never go back you wont be disfellowshiped right?
i know people who have done exactly this.
you have to commit a sin and you or someone else has to tell a elder.

A believer is a hypocrite. He/she thinks can do all the JW things and defend them, but goes completely against the governing body's direction and comments on this apostate web site.

A believer - I take it you are a young person, probably less than 30 years old. Please, go ahead and soak in the many comments from the people here. I guarantee you will learn things.
