Also, please keep in mind that your average JW is not going to share this with every JW. It'll most likely be close friends that feel comfortable around one and another. They will be like, "Hey, did you happen to see this on the news?". I don't see this being a service car group conversation, yet. Just wait until people at the door start shoving this down their throat while they're trying to shove the bible down theirs. There will be no good response.

Uh-Oh, JW's are confused by the news reporting... Getting texts from active members
by thedepressedsoul inyou can refer to me as a still in mole.
anyway, i've been getting texts from jw's about the australia news.
the general census is that the jw's are very, very confused.

Even though this is happening in Australia, this is a US religion we are talking about. I think that is why it is getting attention in the US.
JW's have had child molestation issues in the US and is a US based and run religion. I think that's why it's showing up in news over here vs most of the world.
It's begun my friends!

I haven't heard anything yet from the JWs I know. One of them being my wife. In order for most JWs I know to see this it needs to be on the front webpage of MSN, CNN or be a segment on Good Morning America or Today show. If it makes one of those outlets a majority of witnesses will see it.
That's the thing, a lot have seen it on channels like CNN. Don't be surprised if most are just afraid to bring it up or tell others.

If you don't mind me asking, which country are you in?
I'm in the US, that's as much detail as I'll give :). There are even pictures going around that JW's are taking with their phones and sending them to fellow JW friends asking what is going on.
I think this is bigger and having more of an impact then we all think. I've been getting the average JW thoughts for the last two years. I'm not the type that plants seeds of doubt, I'm the type that pokes and see's what they truly feel.
One thing I've learned, JW aren't as "blind" or "dumb" as we think on this board. A lot of them have doubts and are confused. You can only get them to say it though when it's one on one and you get them to let their guard down.

Anyway, I've been getting texts from JW's about the Australia news. The general census is that the JW's are very, very confused. The news is all over the place, JW's are seeing this. It's not like in the past where there wasn't much media coverage.
They honestly don't know how to make sense of it. Some are using the words like, "That's gross" or "I'm going to have to hear this from my work mates, how do I explain it?". They are shocked by the numbers. If it were one or two, they could brush it off as a misunderstanding. But over 1,000? Their WT brains are exploding.
I've had a few even say that this is the same thing that happened to the Catholic church!
Trust me guys, this one isn't escaping the notice of JW's. The news is everywhere. They're going to have to address this or try to spin this very soon because the JW's are going nuts with confusion!

So much "growth"! JW Land double sided coin
by thedepressedsoul ini'm finding it more and more funny how every wt article for the public or congregation, including jw broadcast talks about all this "growth" and how fast jehovha's organization is speeding up!
yet everything behind closed doors, insider information, elder letters and sales paint a very different picture.
i have news for you gb members!

I think you guys give the WT too much credit and put them up higher and smarter then they are.
I think they were dumb with their money and operated using most of it.

Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow
by minimus inas with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.
here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.
jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

If you don't get 10 hours a month (national average) you're considered weak.
JW talk about watching Lord of the Rings but then shun Harry Potter.
Jumanji is bad because there is a wigi board in it, yet Disney witch movies are OK.

I have news for you GB members! If you build 1 new building but then close down 4 old ones you can't classify that as "growth" and only mention the 1 new building on JW Broadcast!
