Man, I was scared back in the 1980s when they told me the great tribulation was coming soon. Now that we're in the 2010s, you can imagine how much more scared I am now!

Hey all! Long time no see.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a phone call from my JW mother. She said she had something interesting to tell me...
Way back in 2002, I was moving out from my stupid roommate who was playing dumb jokes on me. I was able to get a female friend and her boyfriend whom she was living with to help me move all my stuff out of my place and into my parents' house. Apparently, my mother was sitting there doing her Watchtower study. Apparently my friend's BF took notice of the Watchtower magazine.
Recently, he approached my mother. She didn't recognize her, but he told her who he was, and that he was now a baptized brother. :(
He was a good guy, and it's a shame to see him join this lousy cult. I know my friend wouldn't have joined. It's too bad that didn't rub off on him.
So yeah, I feel kinda bad. I indirectly ruined somebody's life.

World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!
by Slidin Fast inthe chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.
the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.
my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

I go away for a while, and come back to the Watchtower in shambles. Awesome!
How much more can they cut back? Let's see...
Getting brothers with computer access and printers to make physical copies for the elderly who are stuck in the dark ages is a good idea. What an opportunity to get to know our elderly congregation members better! Jehovah works in magnificent ways!
Turn meetings into video-watching sessions. Well, that could happen in people's homes! Jehovah's organization embraces only the best in technology!
Cutting down the number of conventions and assemblies until there's no more to cut is a good way to get rid of those expensive Conventions and Assembly complexes, although they'd probably be the last buildings to go.
When the organization ordered the congregations to send them a set amount each month, I firmly believed that the organization had severed themselves from the Kingdom Halls. The Org can strike a Kingdom Hall dead if it so desires. If donations aren't up to par or are WAY down, they can just kill off the Kingdom hall and/or congregation. To hell with the members if they aren't donating. The members can have the option of meeting in homes to watch JW TV.
My only question is, what is the end goal (if any)? Keeping the Governing Body fed and housed? Control is only good if you get a reward from it.

What are the costs of literature cart witnessing?
by oppostate inin the article on the guardian ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/14/jehovahs-witnesses-evangelism-church-god-armageddon ) mentioned in another thread, there's this quote of mark omalley, who is assigned to the public information desk at the jehovahs witness uk centre in north london.
we now have more than 165,000 [literature] carts on the streets in over 50 countries.
it gives us visibility and availability.

These carts are a good thing. They're not engaging people which means there will be less people converted to the JW way of life. It's just pointless busy work for the R+F, but it's exciting to them because it's new and different! Jehovah's chariot is moving at full speed.... towing a literature cart behind it. -

JW.ORG has jehovahs backing
by antes8080 inbeen hearing this from various people from the cong that jw.org is a clear sign that god is directing the org.. i have various friends in the it dept not only in brooklyn but mexico and colombia, just a fact there is 5 to 6 it dept all over the world that give support to jworgie 24/7... so i have ask them how they came up with the website wich is not the best but not the worst by far.
all four of them told me the same story, there is a brother in florida that is profesor of some kind computer class and as project he made them work on the website so students of these college helped launch this site.. so more like jah backing it has more like satan backing...

OMG, really? This exists? Is this like the JW version of Mary Poppins?
What really gets me is that the JWs used to tout that they didn't give credit to anybody because all praise should go to Jehovah. Now they've got the GB's names and faces splattered all over their videos. If they would have stuck to their original stance on who they should worship, there would be no names to go along with the people on the videos.
Back when I was a JW, the names and faces of the GB members were generally unknown or unimportant (with the exception of CT Russell). Now we know all the stars behind Jehovah's cartoonish organization.

US bethel could not produce them - so they were printed from 3 different "not JW-companies".
You mean I touched a worldly business card??? Ewww
