so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.
i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.
Cofty,

More than 1,000 scientists sign ‘dissent from Darwinism’ statement
“A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism” is a simple, 32-word statement that reads: “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”

just got the heads up from montreal that 16 congregations will cease to exist from 1 april 2019. also 3 kh are no longer going to be used anymore.
this was a major announcement for many and upsetting.
wonder where the r& f are going to be dispersed with what sacrifices in the way!.
JW GoneBAd,
Maybe this is what they mean by the Memorial Season being a "special month of activity!"

what I don't get is if the halls have been bought and paid for many years ago, why do this to the friends? Why not let them keep their hall? Selling only makes sense if they can't afford the overhead like utilities and stuff,
would some kind soul create a site listing as best they know the names of and the countries where kh have been closed and sold.. ie 31-6-2017, mount tall cong, north kameria.. it seems like the kh are being sold off in a lemming like rush to the cliffs..
I keep a list of all the halls closed in the United Kingdom along with all the accounts published on the charity site.

they have a very big child abuse enabler international reputation in the courts can these things be a reason for banning these stupid ass carts that claims to have all the answers to mans hardest questions.. why should every library have to permit them to plant their lame ass carts close to the entrance.. i'm thinking that soon due to all the bad publicity surrounding the jehovah witness cult leaders that cart witnessing will come to be seen as a very big waste of time by all it's members that have become hall less thus missing a shit load of meeting and a beginning to start thinking for themselves.. i'm sure many jws hate this type of work even now, even though it's an easy way to get your time in and not be labeled inactive or keep the elders off your back.
have you noticed that a lot of carts don't have a jw near by?
i never see anybody at the carts where i live, i've even asked people nearby and nobody knew who put the cart there.
They have a cart outside the hospital. The only reason you need to visit a hospital is if you’re sick, visiting someone who’s sick or you work there. The JW cart is on the public sidewalk at the of a pedestrian crossing. While some may say they are harmless they are surely not. They take advantage of the sick and the weak.
friends:.
simon's forum is much more than just a forum where we come to expose the watchtower.
it is a place that simon wanted people to be able to come to, to receive help, support, or find a compassionate listener.. this forum has exposed the watchtower more times than any forum on the net.
Simons forum is the reason I exited JWs
one of these boes is ( old news ), the london letter on the annual totals, and the other concerns pioneering in 2019. just for your records.. .

Sounds like a marketing campaign to me!
“In harmony with...”

i found out a couple of weeks ago that friends who i haven’t seen for over 20 years left the watchtower two years ago.
and it’s having a ripple effect on their friends who are in.. i was also going to post on the thread about posters who’ve left but it seems to have been locked!.
i have been very busy these last few years, working on my hobbies, writing articles and books and haven’t had much time for jw activism.

I have been very busy these last few years, working on my hobbies, writing articles and books and haven’t had much time for JW activism. However that is going to change next year when I will devote 100% to getting my JW book written - it’s just my time is taken up with projects around the home.
