the rbc rules have become way more strict in the past few yEars. the safety brigade is everywhere on job sites. No one under 16 is allowed on site anymore. when I was a kid it was a free for all.

Crowthorne Kingdom Hall (UK) Website
by passwordprotected inhttp://www.crowthornekingdomhall.co.uk/.
looks waaaay too close to jw.org branding, including the font, for it to be allowed to stay online by borg lawyers.
plus the video gallery page is all jw.org videos, yet the site carries this in the footer:.

inactive ones going back...
by monis1 ini have quite a big group of friends who were all in the cong together when we were teens.
about 75% of them stopped going or were df'd right after high school.
it is a varied group; a couple are staunch apostates, some dont care one way or another, and another handfull are fully "worldly", but still believe it is the truth.

I haven't seen any go back due to the 100 year mark of rule. My mom is trying really hard to get my bro and his family to come back but they have no interest in it whatsoever. Thank god for that.

Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).
by BucketShopBill inplease don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.
i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.
i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

It's definitly an issue among witnesses. I am still in and I can definitly spare a few pounds. that's one of my goals as i leave the Borg. To get much healthier. I think a lot of it comes down to not viewing this as the real life.
i know that there was some kind of edict was sent down to all COs within the last few years that they need to lose weight And be healthy. One CO (azar) was huge. Last I heard he lost most of the extra weight. I think all traveling brothers were told to either be at there optimum weight or they were no longer going to be COs.

Thanks for putting those numbers together! It is going to be fun to watch what the future holds for the Borg. Normal middle class families are not joining. Long term that is bad news for jdubs. That would be a really slow bleed though. I am hoping that something way more exciting happens.

"We're calling on your neighbours to promote a website"
by Simon inwow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.

using kindle/ tablet/ iPad in meetings how to police?
by purrpurr ini've noticed about half my half are using these.
of course there's always the potential for people to be looking at things non jw on them.
are the society going to find a way to police this?

at my hall I am certain. It's just a modem/router. I don't know enough to know if there is technology you could plug into to trace all the websites. I don't think you can request that from your ISP either.

I don't think there is anyway to police it. I will tell u what though! I love using the halls wifi to go on apostate websites during the meetings. It's somewhat exhilarating.
