  DA-ing Announcement in the Society's New Book

  by Mark in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society's new book 'organized to do jehovah's will', to be released in the congregations .

  on the 20th of march, introduces a change in the df and da announcements.

  announcements will read the same: "[name of person] is no longer one of jehovah's .

  I think they have three items on the agenda with this.
  
  
  1. To lump disassociations in with disfellowship's. The disassociation announcements can't be good for buisness because the R&F get curious as to why someone would leave the 'truth'. Some of them investigate and end up leaving as well. Can't have that.
  
  
  2. To get rid of the rif raff drifters and to scare the fence sitters into reactivation. I think there will be a lot more announcements in the future because of this change.
  
  
  3. Legal problems with the old announcement.

  How is JWD doing ?

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  someone came out with the tired old claim that the site is dying, there is a mas exodus, yada yada yada.

  some people would really love for that to happen, i know .... we have gone down a few places on bigboards simply because some new sites were added to it that have more posts - the sites we are ranked alongside all went down by the same amount at the same time and we've gone up against some and down against others (not that sheer post numbers matter that much).

  also, a combination of optimising page caching and alexa changing how they rank things has reduced the ranking on that too ... but how are we really doing?.

  Need help in discussing the blood issue with some friends.........

  by MarkAnthony in

  2. friends

  i got into a debate with 2 other friends (one a mormon and the other jw, i'm rc) about the blood transfusion issue.

  the jw friend cited: genesis 9:4,16 leviticus 7:26,27 & 17:14 acts 15:28,29 & 21:25

  i cannot for the life of me see how anyone can read those and honestly beleve that what was ment was to reject blood to save life!

  Why would you want to kill the org?

  by what_Truth? in

  2. experiences

  i know that there's a lot of people here who have been deeply hurt by the jehovah's witnesses (i have as well).

  i also know that the gb are a bunch of lying bastards.

  still i have also met a lot of people who have made their lives much better by becoming jehovah's witnesses.

  Not to sound mean, but that is your own psychological malfunction.. probably enhanced by being a Jehovah's Witness. That sort of thing doesn't make it any less of a destructive cult.
