  figures from that latest 2-weekend convention in caridff (wales) reveal jw “growth” now in decline.

  baptisms are discouragingly low (21, combined), and circuit overseers have been primed to deal with assemblies where there are no baptisms; see these leaked 2018 instructions:.

  A lot of North Wales congregations are assigned to the Liverpool Assembly.

  That could be why the numbers are less in Cardiff.

  Favourite Quirky / Low Budget / Non-Mainstream Movies

  by Simon in

  2. entertainment

  so the recent topic about film franchises got me thinking.

  sure, we all love the big budget, mainstream releases that are so successful they spawn never-ending (it sometimes seems) sequels.

  we could watch marvel and star-wars movies for the rest of our lives (and we might just ...).. but y'know what i love?

  Streets of Fire is a 1984 film directed by Walter Hill and co-written by Hill and Larry Gross. It is described in its opening credits and posters as "A Rock & Roll Fable. The dialogue in the film sounds it was written by a monkey with a typewriter. So bad its a great film. Never get tired of watching it. GREAT MUSIC.

  Has Watchtower taken the joy out of 'the good news of the kingdom'

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  i ask this question for the following reason.

  i was sitting at the kingdom hall thinking about all the rules, procedures, policies, teachings that each member must follow ......or else!.

  at the watchtower study we are reminded of the paradise earth where we will all be the same and happy.

  Years ago talks and literature was about a in depth study of the scriptures and bible prophecy. Whether the prophecies were correct or wrong is beside the point. It was a bible based religion. Today all that is pushed is a life style that must be followed.

  Strip off the old personality

  by eyeuse2badub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yesterday’s watchtower talked about how by becoming a jw it enabled “worldly” people to ‘strip off the old personality’ and make really significantly good changes in their life.. paragraph named 4 individuals (anonymous names of course and probably embellished tales)) sakura, ribeiro, stephen, and hans.

  their lives changed for the good because they found god or because they became jw’s---right?.

  so on the way home from this wt meeting, my wife commented to me how wonderful our brotherhood is and how it helps people who would otherwise be ‘lost’ n this world.

  While sitting listening at the meeting yesterday. I was thinking exactly the same thing.

  Not limited to JW's. Many other organisations do help people as well.

  That is never mentioned from the platform.

  Convention invitations

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so everyone is supposed to get all excited about the invitation work starting tomorrow, according to the announcement from the platform.. maybe this makes sense if you're giving out invitations in the city where the convention is, but what if you're many hours away?.

  a huge part of western canada is scheduled to attend edmonton alberta this july.

  so how does that go over giving out invitations in winnipeg, about a 13 hour drive(that's just driving time).. i know some are actually planning on flying there, so i can't see getting excited about getting the public to make the trek.. i was curious how this is going over in other areas?.
