Hello friends . Is it me or do the rest of you notice a tremendous increase in Newbies in the last couple of months ? What a cool thing to know that these dear new friends of ours have a place to turn to for help, venting, posting their feelings on life and what they have been through and are going through in regards to anything in life. It just happens that most of them like us have been Jehovah's Witnesses and have come to see that the promises they once held so dear, were not really there. To me it is an evidence of the crumbling from within of the Watchtower , Bible and Tract Society . The leaks in the ship can only take in so much water before it starts to sink. I feel that is one reason we are seeing people coming to this forum for encouragement, understanding, true friendships , and unconditional love and caring.
We live in a fast paced world where many people get lost in the shuffle , not enough caring being shown to them in their individual lives, and some , who are just hanging on by a thread due to depression, bad luck in life, physical illness, or whatever circumstances. So my fellow JWDers how do you feel we can best help these Newbies among us and make them feel welcome ? I have my thoughts , and have mentioned a few, but would like to hear from you all on how to make these ones joining us feel at home here on JWD ? Look forward to your thoughts, once again welcome Newbies , you are among friends, we welcome your takes on this too, how can we all serve you best ? Peace to all, Mr. Flipper
