  Due to Ongoing Concern about Dwindling Meeting Attendances, IS THE BOOK STUDY ARRANGEMENT GOING TO BE RE-INSTATED NEXT YEAR?

  i have some family and friends still in the organization.

  i don't actively seek updates - my lovely contacts provide me with them unsolicited.

  so far the updates have been reliable and confirmed sooner or later by subsequent developments.

  Some folks may miss it but in most congregations (at least in the US) it was by far the most poorly attended meeting. In the hall I was in when it was discontinued, the attendance was around 75% of publishers where as the MS/TS was closer to 90% with the Sunday meetings being a little over 100% (remember the kids too young to be publishers are also in attendance).

  My guess he was a JW by the description. I'm sure they'll be more info that comes out. What a terrible thing to have happened to this little girl.

  Rebuttals:"Wait on Jehovah"

  by Emery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok i think most of you at some point have come across the apologetic saying "wait on jehovah" from jws whenever an injustice occurs in the organization.

  many have also used this expression to abandon evidence against the "truth".

  this has easily become one of my biggest pet peeves now since speaking to others about ttatt.

  Ok, that makes sense. Does anyone know where we can read the brief? I didn't see the document on the website.

  “New light” Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release

  http://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.

  if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.

  it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

  Wow, this is far more complicated than I would have imagined. Cedars, tell your source that we appreciate the info but PLEASE BE CAREFUL. If they are planning on going out with a bang, this probably isn't a big enough one since the article will be public soon anyway. Tell them to save it for a major leak (LOL).

  Anyway, I started reading your article but dont' have the time to properly digest. Also, I believe I'll need a few beverages in me to truly analyze. Good lord, its so convuluted that you can get a headache thinking about it. Seems like all their new light is so illogical that even the most avid believer just shrugs their shoulders and moves on. This one may be even dumber than the new Generation teaching.

  Thanks for taking the time to write about it.

  The FIRST Memorial I’ve missed in 41 years…

  by Londo111 in

  last year, my last jw memorial, i listened to the talk as an outsider would.

  the speaker strung unrelated texts together and for the first time, i saw that the interpretations made no sense.

  afterward, i had a private memorial with homemade unleavened bread and wine with four people--three of whom partook.

  Nice. Was wondering if you were going. Unfortunately, we are leaving in a few minutes.

  Enjoy!
