  Some recent baptism figures in the UK - is there a "bounce back"?

  by freddo in

  well, round my way (south of the uk) all the way up to and including the regional conventions this summer, baptism numbers have been extremely low.

  but i have just received news of three recent circuit assembly days where the figures seem to be higher.

  (all have been across the last three weekends at a uk assembly hall in october).

  The last one day assembly there were 850 present and 1 born-in baptized. I believe the trend is downward.

  CO visits me today

  2. experiences

  i'm at home and hear knock on door , i sneak and look i see two men and recognise one voice and go back into lonunge and ask wife ( who is inactive believer) does she want to speak to elders ,she says no ,then literally 3 minutes has pasted another knock the 3 minutes seemed like an eternity.

  so brave heart me think fuck it i'll answer ,i invite them in for coffee, i recognise one older man he is a unique elder who i genuinely was fond of when i was in his name is andrew ,the other guy i didn't recognise we will call harry ( not real name australia doesn't have that many cos with his same name).

  so i think to myself i will tread lightly and not cause to much of a fuss for the wife's sake, but my personality is very the opposite of treading lightly ,as you read my threads you will realise i'm not timid.

  Beards - September 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.

  it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?

  the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.

  Anyone have any feedback on the beard ban being lifted?

  I was at the one day assembly and low and behold beards are appearing. I saw 2 jw's who were sporting them.

  The snowball has started to roll.

  I’m feeling a bit down and troubled

  what is getting me down are the difficult and troubling experiences posted by some of the forum users.

  in a number of cases i cannot believe the injustice inflicted on the person.

  how, forgive the wording, in god’s name can this be happening?

  You don't have to read what you don't want to. It's all about choice. Read only what you want and pass over what you dont.

  I feel so sad for this young beautiful woman and a tragedy for baby Liam that will never know his mommy.

  By the tone of the articles, I get the sense that this has the propensity of creating quite a bit of raucous for the dubs. They are so bloodguilty.

  i met up with many friends of 50-60 years over the last week.

  these were friends from the neighborhood, school, and kh.

  Can Someone Explain To Me, Are The Org In Debt Or Rich?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  hi guys.. im aware of the orgs blatant hints to donate, donate, donate to the org, the sacking of bethel staff, selling of buildings, reducing mags and books, emphasis on digital rather than physical books etc which is obviously a money saver - but are the wt org in money difficulty?

  because elsewhere on here and on youtube there's stories of the watchtower being mega rich, one even called it "a billion dollar organization".

  and if there is any money in there, who's benefiting off it?

  They like to pretend they are poor, but they are rich. How rich, no one really can know for sure.
