  Strange story from Assembly

  by Clambake in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am at the assembly and the last speaker of the day is doing some boring and cliche talk about trusting in jehovah and not being anxious and stuff.

  then he starts into this story about this 11 year old boy named nigel who has cancer and is going to have a court ordered blood transfusion.. i am getting up to leave because i am thinking he is going to start into some story about he managed to get out of it and died for jehovah or something like that.

  the speaker never finishes the story about what finally happened.

  Great baptism numbers. Discounting deaths and disfellowshippings, that makes for a less than 1% growth.

  At RC, Splane says 1000+ new KH's needed, last year only "60" new one's built.

  so there are now regular, full time "construction servants" and their help is much needed along with regional rbc volunteers, who better get working because over a thousand kh's are needed and last year only sixty were built by the u.s. branch.

  .

  splane also said that just with the new baptized this weekend all over the u.s. we had one whone new circuit, so we better put more work into building needed kingdom halls..

  brother lett was giving the last talk of the day about what they supposedly accomplished in 100 years.

  i was just waking up so im paraphrasing alittle(i was dosing off all day) anyways in his introduction he said.

  "there is more evidence to prove gods kingdom on the earth is a reality than wind,electricity and gravity is a reality on the earth".

  ive said it before, I believe the GB is now trolling us. This new group of guys don't believe the teachings. I think they are looking to give thinking people an excuse to leave. Some of their recent articles are just too deliberately dense to be accidental. The article where loesch attacked the infallibility of the pope was ridiculous. His reasoning was that if the pope was not infallible, then doesn't that mean he could be wrong? By the same token the GB has said they are not inspired or infallible. So basically he was admitting their wrong. Plus the ridiculous take on the generation teaching. That has to be an obvious troll job. It's almost as good as the fake questions from readers people post on this site. Now that they have all the money, the next step will to get people to leave. Then they can live out the rest of their lives in a nice new compound.

  so my situation is changing and i am trying to figure out the best way for me to handle this.

  i am an unbaptized publisher married to a dub who was inactive when we met and when we married and during the course of our marriage, and just went back active a year and a half ago.

  he is a full believing dub.

  Stop mentioning your doubts to anyone. Just stop attending. Since youe not baptized they will leave you alone. However if you attempt to spread doubts to others, they will be forced to deal with you.

  disgusted by waves of scandal, irelands catholics are boycotting mass and .

  turning their backs on the church.

  I agree with designs. According to several studies the JWs already boast one of the highest attrition rates of any religion. It's a revolving door in JW land. Most Irish likely still identify as catholic, but have no interest in attending mass. At least they are allowed to not attend without being hounded by elders.

  This is grade A plausible deniability. Now the branch can say they don't know anything about the bad things that go on in the congregation. They can be held responsible for anything they don't know about. Also I find it interesting that they are instructed not to sign the forms.

  bibl3thumper has posted a youtube of the celebrations that took place for german delegates.

  it's hard to believe that they are now using the kingdom hall to sing pop songs and for dancing.

  This isn't anything new. They have been entertaining delagates in Kingdom Halls for a while. This is just the first time the United States has experienced it. Times approved by the governing body. In fact a helper to the governing body aka an aspiring GB member attended such an event. I have videos of events that I recorded that make this look like nothing. I would share publically, but I don't wish to blow my cover yet. If you're interested PM me and I will share.

  org is dying

  i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

  i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

  the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

  You're thinking of the word commanding.
