  How can anyone (in their right mind anyway) say that the org is growing? When you hear of mergers, dissolutions and consolidations, that is a sign of decline. You really can’t BS your way out of it.

  I knew that contraction has been going on everywhere. I just wasn’t sure if it was completed for now in Ohio.

  Is the name Jehovah`s Witnesses a misnomer ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because from what i read on this board lately is that they jw`s seem to be very reluctant to engage in conversation with anybody nowadays and are only interested in placing literature at carts.. and if anyone brings up questions in their d2d work that challenge them ( like the arc ) they will promptly excuse themselves and move on.

  also didn`t jesus say "this good news of the kingdom would be preached in all the inhabited earth " for a witness ?.

  when was the last time you heard a jw speak about "the good news of the kingdom" ?

  Since nothing really surprises me anymore, I can see them changing their name. It's been done before.

  Assembly day Cleveland Ohio (Willoughby ass. Hall) results

  by nowwhat? in

  1300 attendance 11 teenagers baptised (.85 growth) $12,000 expenses.

  biggest facepalm moment- teenage pioneer says she pioneers because "the overlapping generation is getting up there in years ,so time is short" as the saying goes "those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it".

  very mind numbing day nothing you haven't heard a hundred times before..

  To keep up appearances, I wanted to go to the Willoughby assembly with my wife, but she basically told me to stay home.

  How 'bout that?!

  i awoke in the middle of the night to banging on my door.

  i went to the door half asleep and asked who was there.

  i heard “police.” my dog was going crazy, so i slipped outside to talk to them.

  Reading the thread title, I thought that some a**hole cop was getting a welfare check from the government!

  At least you're ok JRK!

  Why the move to Warwick?

  by optimisticskeptic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've seen a lot of posts around and about warwick and the goings on there but was curious as to people's theories on why the move to warwick?

  granted there's the obvious point about all of the money from the sale of properties in brooklyn but for as massive as warwick is, the purchase of an apartment complex there, multiple sites and buildings i would be surprised if they had much left from all of the profits.

  so beyond a financial incentive why move?

  "With regard to 9/11, WT may have received some bad press for locking their doors and not assisting evacuees on Sept 11."

  Wow. I never knew that.

  @ KindEyes:

  Welcome. I totally understand. Years ago, my wife basically gave me an ultimatum. Either I let my worldly friends go or I let her and the “truth” go. I chose the former. I sent everyone a farewell text and then changed my number. Now that I’m “inactive” and my wife and I are having issues, I really have no one. It’s really been tough on me. I let these friends go for what? Some of them I’ve had since elementary school. I often wonder how they’re doing and if they still remember the fun we had. But, at least I have this forum.

  Are Beards becoming more acceptable due to decline in membership?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i noticed a young brother with a beard being given more privelages within our hall.

  when he first grew his beard, he lost his privelages.

  but more and more recently he has been helping out a lot more.. the cobe is old school and a stickler for rules, but with the hall becoming more empty these days, and the need for young brothers, he seems to have relaxed on this particular watchtower/man made rule.
