The well's drying up

    Last weekend we had dinner with my wife's family. They had just "enjoyed" their circuit assembly.

    Their circuit met in two halves over two weeks (avoids the mad scramble to the dining room that way).

    Total baptized for the entire circuit (a city circuit)? 3!

    Yesterday, at the CA my wife attended (again a half circuit), total baptized: 2!

    This is about 0.15 - 0.20%.

    Canada is one of the most wired countries in the world. It's no coincidence that new converts are hard to find here.

    So, for all those who have worked to put up web sites warning about the WT: it's working! While the average already converted JW has been prevented from using the internet by WT demonising, you are saving hundreds, probably thousands of people, from the controlling and damaging crap peddled by these powermongers.

    Great stuff!

    The well is not drying up. Like you, it is their brain that is drying up.

    So is that your problem Fred? Water on the brain?

    Fred:

    Go and have a Martini.

    Make sure it's a dry one.

    Hey Fred,

    How many Bible studies are currently conducting? If the well is not drying up and you are such a faithful and diligent JW, not like the average, you must have at least 2 studies and one must be approaching baptism. So tell us how you are doing personally and what is happening in your congregation.

    Hi Fred,
    I'm surprised at your one line insulting response to Expats post.
    I know you can respond more inteligently.
    Now what are your views on what expat has posted?
    Do you agree that there are less and less people being baptised?

    Hey Fred,

    We appreciate your typical JW answer. Keep up the good work!

    is their brain that is drying up.

    And you're right, the WTS brain is drying up. Good answer.

    I just came home with my family from the 'Special Assembly Day' held at the North London Assembly Hall (Bowes Road).

    There were 955 in attendance in the morning, 938 in the afternoon (damn those lucky 17!!).

    Baptism - 1 yes one!

    when do you have time to be online??? a true jw is much too busy to be bothering with the likes of us ol' evil apostates...
    so i think you are really one of us.. hanging on the edge maybe?
    if you were a faithful and obedient slave working towards jehovah's kingdom, you would not be in here at all
    make a decision fred.....time is short

    i can see it now the attendants rope off 3/4 rows of seats like they always do and only one 13yr Elders kids shows up for the talk and the 2 questions- the poor speaker has an audience of 1-

    then the Poor little child is lead off by the 3 MS to the Slaughter

    what a sad sight to behold

    Just my 2
