Yeah, I slip stuff into talks or the very rare comment but honestly it's just fun for me. No one pays attention to comments at the meeting anyway! Sometimes I think I could come out with the most "apostate" statement and people would smile and shake their heads.

No GB visit?? What did you Brits do to not be graced by presence of one of the WT popes??? Man, what disrespect! At least they could have sent Lett or something. -

It's really difficult to figure out why they are so resistant because they don't make their decisions based on logic or known business patterns. The thought that they are concerned with some of the names on the list (Bethel heavies, DOs even GB members) is certainly a possibility and logically that's why they may fight so hard. I know the WT attorney's don't want to see any GB members take the stand because their arrogance would make them awful witnesses. But, what do you expect from a group of guys that run an 8 million person organization where everything they order gets done? Plus they think this is just training for ruling the entire world for eternity! How does that not go to your head if you truly believe it??
The better strategy would be to cooperate, pay for the past mistakes and revamp the system to protect children better. Even from a business prospective, the good will generated would make up for the short term losses. It's really puzzling why they don't do that. Morally, its obviously the right thing and I think long term business strategy it would also be the right thing. But, I believe they think Jehovah will bail them out on this issue.

Doubting Bro
LOL - the large number of visitors they anticipate as a result of the invitation campaign in Oct. I'm sure whoever wrote that must have had a nice belly laugh. When have those invitation campaigns ever worked? How many people attend the RC as a result of the public invitation? hahah. delusional -

Status update and hello.
by Darkknight757 ini haven't posted here in a few months and to be honest i haven't been lurking either.
i hope everyone is doing well.😊 i wanted to take a minute to let you know how things have been the last few months.. recently the brothers decided to finally consider my letter of resignation.
they met with me alone and i let them know why i have become inactive as a publisher and why i no longer wish to serve as an elder in the congregation.

Darknight,
So sorry for you and your wife's losses. It's always struck me as crazy that you have to get permission to resign a volunteer position but such is life inside the WTS.
I think going to grief counseling is a wise move. Please keep us updated.

To those who attended, attendance up or down at your memorial?
by Crazyguy ininteresting to see if there's a noticeable trend in memorial attendance.
also did they talk more then usual about ones not to partake?
-

Doubting Bro
Typically they don't applaud or at least that's my experience.
Ours was around the same from last year. Around 150 or so. Average attendance is around 110 so really not much of a bump.

Has anyone else collected their money back from local Kingdom Halls for money loaned for construction?
by StoneWall injust a reminder if you haven't, to get it back before they sell any more halls.even if you're currently da/df you can still collect any monies owed you by the kingdom hall as far as loans go.we were able to get back $1000 that my mom had loaned the local hall for a loan to build new one.it was documented by the paper that had been given each publisher back then on how much they could/would be willing to give as an outright donation or a loan.
the loan was to be paid back whenever the publisher requested it.
(not a specific date)i can't help but feel that a lot of the old timers that loaned monies to the society and/or k-halls have been forgot about by them or their families.

What Is The Watchtower's Biggest Problem?

Member apathy is their single biggest problem. People may still come to meetings, but less regular and really not enthusiastic. Apathy causes donations to dip. The crazy thing is that instead of trying to make changes and figure out what is causing the apathy, they do more of the same (guilt).
