They do not preach with zeal what they do not really believe. Few actually believe the end is NEAR so why bust thier ass telling others. No "sense of urgency" no effort preaching. Its a religion bent on saving one's butt, not from sin but from big bad Jehoober who will soon rot eyes out of people who don't tow the line.

Is their a slackening off / lack of zeal in the witnessing work that I am observing or is it just the area I`m living in
by smiddy inlast saturday i was home with my wife,having a leisurely brekky pottering around in the kitchen ,then i noticed her standing still pondering ,what`s up i asked , wife :i thought i heard someone knocking ,i looked out the window to see two middle aged guys exciting my front drive.why didn`t you tell me they were their,i didn`t hear them.
i would have engaged them in conversation , but my wife doesn`t think i ought to,just let it go ,is her motto.. but my point is : i`m not deaf , and i didn`t hear them at the door , we were both in the front room ,my wife only thought she heard someone at the door only to be proved right observing them leaving i was in my pj`s and dressing gown so was not going to pursue them.
we have been living here nearly 5 years now and i can honestly say they have never been on our doorstep more than 4 times if that , i personally have only encountered them 3 times at the most.

"Caleb my lad we are going to be great friends! I will share with you the adventures of a lifetime. Your only job will be to carry me to and from these adventures. We will strike down evil wherever we find it and no one will be able to stop us. We will be powerful and do amazing magic. You shall be my assistant."
"Sparlock, you are a the best wizard there is"
"Come, let's fly together to the castle where we will slay the evil dragon that holds you family captive"
"Then I can introduce you to my mom. She's a little picky about my friends but I'm sure she'll like you! You are a wise and powerful wizard."
Caleb grabbed Sparlock up and ran to the house, calling Mom!"

Interesting conversation re: sexual abuse issue
by Doubting Bro ini may be outing myself so i'm changing some minor detail but i wanted to relate a recent conversation over the sexual abuse issue.
i was at a party, er, gathering this weekend and there were several folks that i haven't talked to in awhile there.
so, i sat down at a table with several other guys and the conversation went like this:.

Kinda reads like a drama from the convention. A little too perfect for my radar for what its worth.

Watchtower's Billion Dollars of Property Cannot Be Sold until Outcome of Conti Appeal
by Dogpatch in30 minutes ago i just got off the phone with some important players in this case, and some things were relayed to me concerning a lot of details of the outcome of the last two days of court.
i am passing this on.
cynthia hampton, one of the main players in the candace conti case (and a close friend of 28 years), just informed me of a further, far more powerful move by the state of california against the watch tower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. by order of the superior court of the state of california - county of alameda (see documents below), until the watch tower's appeal, which won't begin until august 13th and will take up to two years to settle due to due process of law, has forbidden the watch tower to sell any more of its $1 billion in assets in the borough of brooklyn until the appeals case is finished, to assure they won't shelter their monies in the light of this most huge and devastating sexual abuse scandal ever to hit the watch tower society, and perhaps any other single-victim lawsuit.

Did You Watch The Waltons?
by snowbird inif so, did you enjoy the show?.
i loved it.
missed quite a few episodes due to attending kh meetings, but i'm making up for that.. the show reminds me so of growing up in a large family, having to share everything, and looking out for each other..

I guess I'm the exception to the rule. I abhorred the show. It was beyond boring and the people were less than attractive. The country hokum made me gag and it only irritated me to hear the narrator yaking all the time. Sorry kids but the show was on way too long and who cared? I guess you guys, I didn't. Ugh.
