Preaching Slowdown
by cornish in.
i can remember numerous talks and study articles about how the preaching work would get more and more intense as we near the end.. one so called prophetic illustration that stands out in my mind was when joshua and his men marched around the city each day and then just before the city fell they marched seven times signifying a quickening of the preaching work.. it seems starkingly obvious that the preaching,is in decline amonst jw's,the jw's are seen less and less often in my neighbourhood,it is very rare to see them out street witnesing around the town centres and railway stations,the average jw spends far less time preaching than a decade ago.. it seems like their chief brag is definately on the wain,in favour of other recruitment methods.

Some People Stay Witnesses Because They Don't Want To Think For Themselves
by minimus ini've come to that conclusion.
some would rather not have to think about a position, a prophecy, a requirement or a belief.
they really would rather follow the dictates of leaders of an organization.

Witness sayings
by Teela inas i was growing up in the troof.
there were sayings used over and over again to control my behaviour.

I am tired of thinking like a victim....
by Ravyn ini may have to cut back on my forum reading.
this is getting discouraging.
everyone knows the problem, feels the problem, but very few want to act on the problem.

A deceiptful organization
by freedom96 inthere has been much debate over whether the people of the organization are good in general, or the ones who work at bethel.. i do believe that there are individuals involved both at bethel, and closer to home with the kingdom halls, that are exceptional in attitude and love for others.. but, somewhere, back at bethel, there is major deceiption going on.
we have books that have been reprinted with new, or taken away quotes.
there are c/d disks showing past magazines that are different than the original.

The Name of God
by ClassAvenger ini have a friend who is a jehovah witness.
once we started talking about prayer, and i told him that we referred to god as 'lord', or 'god', or 'father', for reverence or respect, although we did not have prohibited to say jehovah.
he said that i was wrong, that it was necessary to state that the prayer was for jehovah and not any other god.

Introduction
by Hope_ful ini have been "lurking" (my apologies to anyone who is irritated or offended by that) for some time now.
i was raised as a jw - i had the dubious honor of being a presiding overseer's daughter.
my little bro and i were perfect little dubs (or is it "duds" ?!
