So at the international convention 235 were baptized. The attendance was 34k. That's resents less than 1% its about .6%. Overall there were 691 baptized and 108k in attendance. This again represents .6% of the attendance. No new ones baptized from my congregation. Still this beats the dismal amount baptized at my circuit assembly. In February we had 2 people baptized and an attendance of 800.

Haha Billy. He should have felt a disturbance in the force as I entered the elevator.
@bu2b, don't you love how he keeps saying I'm not here to make you feel guilty. I'm just here to help. Then he proceeds to lay the guilt on thick. he saI'd being anxious brings reproach on Jehovah.

Also he said where will you be 100 years from now? Unfortunately I'll be dead. But at least I won't have wasted my life on false promises.

@bu2b which location were you tled in from? I can't understand why the GB believes the bible teaches that door to door is the most important part of the ministry. There is no recorded experiences of Paul or Jesus ever doing it. Also what is with this celestial chariot representing the organization. Pure nonsense. I also winced he said that learning JW history means our lives! Yes our lives depend on reading the sanitized history of JWs in our new book. the organization is an idol. they are telling people to worship it for salvation.

for those still "in" what's the mood
by lastchance inin my area the general sense is bleak.
many are in survival mode.
even at the convention the appearance of the majority was unhappy and tired.

Most people I talk to love the privilege of being an attendant. This means you are "allowed" to wander the corridors pretending to be busy without being judged. Nobody wants to sit through the entire program. The administration and chairmans offices spend most of the program sleeping, talking and eating. No joke the CO was asleep in the chairmans office during the convention where I had a part on the program. It's a country club atmosphere behind the scenes.

I rode one floor down with him before I went up to my destination. Hilarious how unimpressed I am after awakening. I'm sure the "worldly" elevator operator was equally unimpressed. Typing this in thebathroom as I await his concluding discourse.

The two elders visited my sister again
by opusdei1972 ini phoned my sister and she told me that yesterday the two elders visited her again.
she lives in a latin country (as i do).
and as i shown before, just two weeks ago, these elders visited my sister because she is not attending the meetings.

I doubt they will DF her. She doesn't go to the meetings. The CO will just tell the elders to leave her alone.

I believe the writing department is just trolling at this point. This is some hilarious stuff. They are basically saying they don't want any new converts with an IQ over 50.

Prediction: The organization to ease up on disfellowshipping for apostasy.
by kneehighmiah ini believe the organization is already easing up on disfellowshipping people for apostasy.
they know most doubters just want to be left alone.
disfellowshipping them turns them into martyrs.

I believe the organization is already easing up on disfellowshipping people for apostasy. They know most doubters just want to be left alone. Disfellowshipping them turns them into martyrs. Also as their beliefs continue to become increasingly wacko, they realize a harsh disfellowshipping of a decent honest brother will rattle and wake up some elders. Many elders are beginning to have doubts. Disfellowshipping someone for expressing the same doubts that an elder himself secretly harbors will not go over well. Especially when the elders are unable to scripturally refute an "apostates" reasoning. Letting people who are no longer believers fade is the safer option. You won't be disfellowshipped for not believing in 1914, blood doctrine, 144k or that the faithful and discreet slave is guided by Holy Spirit. Since they recently change the FDS doctrine they would look silly ans petty for disfellowshipping someone over that. now I understand they are asking people to DA themselves or peacefully fade away. Of course if you cause problems they will have no choice but to disfellowship, but this is not the preferred course.
