More congregations? One of the strategies they used to inflate the numbers in my city.
by Tempest in a Teacup ini looked at the 2017 yearbook figures this morning, and it reminded me of something which happened in my former congregation 2 years ago.
it was a tiny foreign language congregation with at most 25-30 publishers.
comes and splits a 30 member congregation into....three.

First time back in a KH in 8 months
by Normalfulla inso... one of my employees is a miserable servant and was giving the pt and invited me to come knowing full well i was faded out, i go along cos i respect him and thought why not, i must admit i was a little nervous headed back there (a neighboring hall not my old one) i saw alot of familiar faces and some old friends who were aware of my fade, all so pleased to see me at a meeting again and i can sum up how i felt about the experience like this.. .
have you ever been to a party and been the only sober person there and are totally aware of the ridiculous things said and going on?
that's what it felt like except the party would have been more fun of course,... all these good people, drunk off their heads on wt propaganda and false hopes, the irony was the talk was titled "does your life have meaning?".

I began my Van Dyke type goatee the very same day as this article was studied at the kh. a month or so later I began some feedback from several in the congo, none negative!
A month later I started to hear some rumblings from some elders, though not directly. A week ago an elder asked me why I was growing a goatee and I told him that the wt article seemed to open the door for those with a desire o look a bit more modern. Then I told him to just think of it as an "overlapping" mustache!
He didn't reply!

The Governing Body are doubling down on dogma!
by DATA-DOG inin case you were wondering if the governing body we're going to become kinder and gentler, the answer is a big "no!!!
in the current study edition of the wt magazine, the sheeple are reminded of some very important key points.
1) god has an organization ( corporation ) that you must respect.. 2) only the gb/faithful slave can dispense spiritual food and only the gb/faithful slave can interpret the bible.. 3) individual dubs absolutely cannot learn "truth" on their own.. 4) god requires "unity of doctrine.

"It ain't what ya' don't know that can harm ya', it's what ya' know for sure--- that just ain't true!"

What is the vow of poverty
by Jafox ini was told by someone that in 2007 two members of the branch committee in greece were removed because they breached the vow of poverty.
the matter was over a small amount, in the range of a few hundred euro.
is there a copy of this vow available and how would this be applied here?

It's hard to ask for a donation when the 'air time' for showing videos is free-right?

question from readers: with all the animal sacrifices, wouldnt the temple smell worse than a stockyard?
by nowwhat? inwith all the cattle, sheep and others wouldn't they be shitting and peeing all over the place?
along with the gallons and gallons of blood being drained and then the flesh being burned as well.
wouldn't the stench be unbearable?.

It must have been a truly great time when hundreds of thousands of animals were slaughtered during the 7 day inauguration Solomon's temple. Thousands of gallons of animal blood to pour out on the ground to appease the god of the universe. Hell of a bar-b-que too!

So, Anglo-American-Russian world power?
by schnell inwasn't russia strongly hinted recently to be the king of the north once again, as it tried to shut down the wtbts there?
and isn't the king of the north said to lead a coalition of nations against babylon the great?
so why is the king of the north allying itself with one half of the king of the south, the anglo-american world power?

Watchtower's Illogical Teachings
by Vanderhoven7 injust writing down some notes to share with jws when i meet them.
here are a few of the problems of logic i see in their doctrines.
perhaps you can add to them.. systemic contradictions – jws boast about fighting for religious freedom – that is their freedom to share their differing views with people outside the organization - yet there is no freedom amongst members to disagree with any official teaching within the organization without the threat of losing friends and family.

The Daniel prophecy.
2,520 lunar years magically become 2,520 solar years to reach the magic year of 1914.
Not mathematics but math-magic!
