Dubs at my door ... what will I do?
by ithinkisee infor those that don't know, my wife and i moved away from our family and friends to fade away.
my mom and her new uber-elder husband with gb connections have been spreading it around where we are from that he is going to send a couple of elders to my house for spiritual "assistance".
so, everytime an unfamiliar car comes up my driveway a small wave of dread comes over me as the car gets closer.

What is your town or area's claim to fame?
by free2beme inevery where you live, the local area has something about it that is either famous for something good or something bad.
as an example, you go to one town and it may have the historial site of a famous war battle.
you go to another an it might be the place something was invented, or the birthplace of someone famous.

Does the WTS inflate year-end statistics?
by Goldminer ina few weeks ago i was looking through some of my wife's kingdom ministries and i noticed a very interesting stat.it appears that every year here in canada the number of active jw's takes a noticeable jump upwards in the month of august (the end of the service year) and then re-settles to a more regular number again in september.. after noticing this i went and looked in the older km's and checked a few more years with the same results.i don't know if this happens in every country but it seems to be happening here in canada.i found this strange since i remember august as being the month everybody slacked off because they "had their hours".also i know some students pioneer in the summer but they still would have been publishers before august.. here are the canadian stats for the years i found:.
july august september.
can anyone explain this logically or is this another one of their smoke and mirrors tricks?

The Single Most Dangerous JW Meeting....in my opinion!
by enlightenedcynic inthe way i see it, pretty much everyone here knows that the 5 weekly meetings, the memorial, the dc's and ca's are all a bunch of rubbish and jibber jabber.
there is still one other meeting, not as frequently held as the others, that jw's use very effectively to control existing members and bring in new converts and this meeting sadly plays apon the emotions of all in attendance.. what meeting is this?.
a kh funeral!!!.
