i'm sorry--i'm getting this very sensitive vibe that the org (mainly those at the top) don't have any respect--forget about love--for sisters of color.
i'm coming to this conclusion from a couple of videos on jw broadcasting about single sisters.. after watching this video: .

Coming from a man of color, the treatment of women in general by this org is shameful. Especially if you are single, divorced, a widow, have an unbelieving mate, have an inactive mate, your mate isn't an elder, your mate isn't reaching out, your mate isn't a ministerial servant, blah blah bah blah.......
Shall I continue?
how many of you think the cubs deserve a world series championship for the first time in 108 years!?.
jk.
there continues to be more and more rumors of more halls being sold off some even taking the first offer.
the borg trying to get thier bond money back from the court in san diego asap and there's been elders meetings about this consolidation.
my questions is why after selling off all this real estate in new york for over a billion dollars are they still acting like thier broke?
Thanks darkspilver and Crazyguy.
It would not surprise me that at some point, the org will go the way of the way of the mega church. There will only be assembly halls in use.
when i was a jobo, i would say that anything in jobo history, eg.
miracle wheat, beth sarim et al (old light), wasn't worth considering as evidence that the wbt$ was a weirdo cult.. i think that's probably the jobo mindset now.. what would you show them from very recent lies teachings to encourage them to consider the possibility the wbt$ is a scam?.
Once their congregation is merged or dissolved altogether, maybe then they will realize that the org isn't genuine.

This might be a little off-topic, but has anyone seen a newly built new style kingdom hall? There can't be too many in Ohio. Around these parts, they are dissolving circuits (I don't even know what circuit I'm in now), consolidating congregations and selling kingdom halls like they're going out of style. Then again, I guess they are out of style.

where have the witnesses gone?
the remaining 20 witnesses will travel to the neighbour churches now.
In Ohio, there is LOTS of talk about the consolidation of halls. Some congregations have already been merged or dissolved altogether.

i guess tight pants tony isn't the only man that needs to get a life!.
Darn! I missed it.
*warning this is long* it all started on the last day of the "remain loyal to jehovah" convention.
a little background story, i've been raised as a jw, been in and out of the religon, never baptised but was made an unbaptized publisher about 3 years ago, always felt out of place in the congregation, blamed myself for this because if i had just went to meetings and did all the right things then i would have friends and not be in the mess that i was.
right after becoming an unbaptized publisher i met my now fiance, end up leaving my mother's house to live with him, elders haven't contacted me about my situation even though i'm sure they know as my step father is an elder...but anyway on the last day of the convention my fiance came with me as i was visiting my mother and had planned to go with her and her husband to the convention.
Your fiancé was treated like garbage, not once, but many times at that convention. What more about the witnesses do you need to find out? Just try to live your life the best way you and your fiancé can. It helps that you were never baptized.
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.
Just the fact that they stayed that long to talked to you makes me believe that you were "witnessing" to them and they allowed it. Maybe, just maybe, you woke them up.
i need maybe 2-5 dozen copies of any edition of the watchtower or awake!
magazines to distribute to family, friends, and neighbors.
any reasonable condition.
