I learned outside, that JWs (including the own family) only have conditional love.
True unconditional love is only outside the JWs possible.
So I would never ever return to this fake love cult.
recent news about beards is getting lots of attention.
it made me wonder if any guys will return to the church under the impression that 'so much has changed'.
back when, i knew a couple guys who were outspoken about beards, seeing it as an issue, and was never terribly moved by their viewpoint.

okay people, you know the drill.
give us your best estimate for where jabba the hut's fatter, broker cousin will be with patrons on january 2.. some numbers to consider:.
last september is when he did his beg-fest and peaked at 478. just two months later, early november, he was down to 427. .
393 - my number for January 2024
put in your bets as to where you think lard i mean lloyd evans will land after december's drop in his patrons.
in september he started at 457 patrons, did his whiny begging fest and peaked at 478, but then dropped down to 439 at the beginning of october.
as of this moment (nov. 6), he's at 427 paid members.. so, where do you think he'll be on december 2nd?
to keep it easy - I'm again bet for 411
so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.
beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.
the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?
@inbetween "... Can the bar be any lower?"
Just get a car number/registration plate with JW in or
a sticker on the car with JW . org

@Phizzy "... over 8 million ..."
@FFGhost "... event hit 9 million in the next year or 2."
In some countries, religions are given money by the government and usually this is based on the number of members.
And according to the motto "follow the money", it makes sense that JWs are interested in driving the numbers up.
let's get the fun started and put in our votes for how far down the pumpkin patch lord of the fries will fall in november.. for those keeping score, last month he started at 457 patrons, did some begging and managed to bump those numbers up to 478, but as of this writing he's down to 439.. so, how well do you think the grift will continue this month?
let us know where you think he'll be on november 2. lucky number 420?
will he drop back down below 400?
411 please and enjoy 2 cold german beer
i remember him on this site when he was called cedars and had jw survey.. straightaway i noticed he could not accept suggestions.. the time i knew he was dangerous was when his group aawa added people to their fb group without their permission and were outed.. he refused to close the fb page (whilst celebrating 1300 members joining in a few days).
one member complained and was subsequently disfellowshipped, which could easily have been avoided.. three week's after launching, the fb page was closed down.
from that moment i knew james lloyd evans was dangerous.. when did you realise he not good?.
When his group AAWA added people to their FB group without their permission and were outed.
Then when the reddit moderators even in Germany sided with Lloyd Evans and didn't allow any criticism of his confession video, they lowered themselves to the same level of Lloyd.
so, folks, 60 years ago, starting on september 1st, i believe, we, local witnesses in southern california, had the "privilege" of attending the "around the world assembly", at, of all places, the rose bowl, in pasadena.
(i think that it was an 8-day assembly) i was 9 years old then, almost ready to start 4th grade.
so, was anyone else, on this site, at that assembly?
In Germany the convention was 1963 in Munich.
The place, where now is the Oktober-Fest.
I was 3 years old and can't remember anything from this convention.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
the mega thread needs a 4 week break due to mental health problems
it-1 p. 127 - "they may also claim to serve god but reject (don't serve) his representatives, his visible organization.
such ones willfully abandoning the christian congregation (the org) thereby become part of the “antichrist.”" .
