  2. friends

  i grew up in a very zealous congregation.

  we had almost 40 pioneers with only 100 publishers.

  the congregation was 100% black americans (i don't say african-american).

  "Retirement planning is the responsibility of the individual, not the government. Libertarians would phase out the current government-sponsored Social Security system, and transition to a private voluntary system."

  I witness no racism what so ever when i served in the mid-west 70's-80's. One brother

  I knew very well was a ex- KKK member. As a black family and a elder invited to speak

  in predominant white congregations and my congregation was predominant white I

  experienced no racism. I spoke in cities where there was no blacks in their town.

  But on the other hand the folks in the community I served, oh boy that's another story.LOL

  You may ask, why did I take my family and move to this community? Well I was ask by the

  white brothers. There wasn't a KH in that town of 10000 and a city of 5% blacks,I didn't

  realize the racism until we purchase our home and the community had a meeting to buy

  my home I had purchase. I moved from California and didn't realize I purchase a home on the

  wrong side of town. But after 9 years in that community I must say things got better.

  We built a KH there after two years and still standing today.

  But the friends, no negative talk about Native Americans, whites or blacks.

  I had a problem because I came from a predominant black congregation in Calif.

  Perfect Example of JW Dumbing Down

  just take a look at this video.

  i think arguing or debating scriptures is the most pointless thing ever.

  everything at their meetings are so basic with no explanation.

  scary21: I feel the same, it was refreshing hearing their ideas.

  never a jw: I agree not a chance in hell they can win. "It's lonely being a Libertarian" come

  to think of it I don't believe I have ever met a Libertarian.

  Recent mistakes of the Governing Body contributing to the decline of JWs

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they have made so many strategical mistakes it's hard to keep track.

  some changes within the last decade or so that are contributing to declining numbers of jws:.

  1. elimination of book study groups, the most informal, enjoyable and sociable of the jw meetings, contributed to loss of sense of community among jws.. 2. policy of consolidating kingdom halls.

  so i went to the convention this past weekend.

  not, because i wanted to....but, because i had no choice.. i took myself and our son's out walking every chance i had, i made it so we missed the bunker video, the drama, the stupid dream squashing video with the violin.. but, while in there sitting.

  one of the speakers said this:.

  Blood is 6 times thicker> What kind of crap are they teaching..Well they have redefined

  what a generation is, so now they are redefining the metric system.

  So now you will have an 8 year old in school standing before their classmate, water is

  thicker than blood and I know this because Jehovah said so.
