I thought they were getting below the numbers they anticipated.

Are they really that stupid
by moley ini was recently approached by a couple of borg drones while i was walking my dog, and i thought why not, may plant a seed or two (how wrong was i).
there was no real logic to what they were saying but as i was in the local park the conversation started to veer to how wonderful nature was and how this was the work of a wonderful creator.
i did not let on i was a former witness and let them continue with their fairy tale of creation and how the vast multitude of animals shows a loving god at work blah blah blah...... but i digress, the converastion then turned to how evolution was false.. apparently to earth is only a few thousand years old, so i mentioned about the burgess shale, to be met with blank stares.

You are lucky Moley. I would love to meet some drones. I would take it as a personal quest to give them a run for their money.

We are an Evil Aposta-Family
by Skinnedsheep inin the last 6 months my family and i have stopped attending cold turkey.
it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.
we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.

I have said this many times on different threads. It just amazes me how they are prepared to spend billions of dollars and countless man hours trying to get New recruit and yet will do practically nothing to retain a member. I have had a very similar experience to you when I left the Borg e.g only 3 people could be bothered to see where I was and this is after many decades of loyal service. I'm just a fader didn't choose to go down the DA /DF line. In some ways I'm glad there was a no show but then on the other hand, "Only 3. Come on"!!!!!! Anyway I'm coming up to my 1 year anniversary of leaving. Still finding it challenging, but will never go back.

They continue to drop like flies
by suavojr inyes, the jws continue to bleed their young ones, so far in my local kh 3 were dfd, one girl just turned 18 this month and packed her bags and said goodbye to the cult and her cultish parents, another young 18 year old man decided to have a non-jw girlfriend and decided to stop attending and is no longer a witness.
they continue to leave and wt leaders dont give a damn.
they dont do anything to help kids be successful and live a healthy life.. .

Oops my apologies. I'm sorry. I don't know what happened I guess I just wasn't in the mood for dealing with an apologist. I find the ignoring the council regarding mentally diseased apostate a good one for getting rid of them

That guy has been on the run for some time now. Must be coming up to 10 years. I guess he's as good at concealing himself as what he was at concealing his crimes.

Defender of the truth. Why are you disobeying the loving counsel about eating at the table of demonised apostates. Hey I'm mentally diseased so you'll want to stay away from me.

The thing that surprises me is that Wt knows it's got a problem with retaining it's youth and yet still chooses to stand aside and let it happen. While of course blaming everyone /thing else except them selves. i look at these other religions and they are spending Hugh money on setting up programs and activities for their youth. The Wt needs to encouraged events with a religious aspect just for young adults were the could just Meet and hang out. They have to create a sense of community with its youth. The youth could meet the opposite sex at these functions then it would perhaps prevent them from looking outside the religion. For a youth he has to see the KH as been a fun vibrant place where he can worship god, if not then I'm pretty sure satan is more than willing to. Writing a 2 page article warning about if you don't keep your legs together you'll get a rash and make jehovah sad just ain't cutting it. I remember as a dubbie seeing these churches with basket ball courts outside and thinking how bad this was. But now I see it in a completely different light. Even if they do go to church just to play basket ball, at least while they are there they arnt up to mischief. Wt chooses the cheaper option of disfellowshipping, which perhaps could of been prevented if the necessary foresight and funds had been channeled in the right direction.
the other concern I have for this religion, is how they are prepare to spend billions of dollars and countless man hours knocking on doors pissing people off, and yet will do virtually nothing in supporting or retaining it current membership. Oh well I hope they get it before it's tooooooo late.

What I'm implying is the proof is in the pudding or in this case the beard.
