I was quite zealous for it, auxiliary pioneered and made over 10 hours per month, I was also commended how effective I was in conversation starting as I used to prepare for it with the Reasoning book, it was very short lived though, I probably had a peak of a about 4/5 years as a zealous jw quite close to being a MS as well, the fade started very close to the end of those few years of real zealousness and it all started to crumble away, FS would start with lunch and end without so much as a door being banged on, the CBS was dumped so was meeting attendance, an adult with ADD would never have lasted much longer as I can testify to. I'll try and compare to footballer to my jw career, perhaps a player that peaked early and retired early due to a career ending injury?

Thankfully not many publishers remind " me" of Troy.
by The Rebel ini took my son to the watford football club family day,-and the highlight- troy deeney.
he stayed until every last item was signed and every selfie was taken.
we left way after the end of the event and he left after us.

Armageddon is strictly military action to save Israel
While Israel has the nuclear and military might and allied with the USA to smash every single one of its neighbours to oblivion!

without even looking at it, dress as inappropriately as possible? ie in the baking hot summers men are to be suited and booted and sisters should be a frumpy as possible?

Perfect Example of JW Dumbing Down

i think arguing or debating scriptures is the most pointless thing ever.
everything at their meetings are so basic with no explanation.

shambolic from those two so called sisters, farcical, the younger one was just a clueless argumentative PoS who has about as much skill in making so called disciples as I have, her rudeness was quite astounding,aimlessly thumbing around on a stupid cheap tablet with the goal of trying to preach the so called "kingdumb" has them at a new low IMO, just as pointless as sitting at a cart gossiping and playing with their mobile phones for hours at a time, why dont they just give up?

Recent mistakes of the Governing Body contributing to the decline of JWs
by slimboyfat inthey have made so many strategical mistakes it's hard to keep track.
some changes within the last decade or so that are contributing to declining numbers of jws:.
1. elimination of book study groups, the most informal, enjoyable and sociable of the jw meetings, contributed to loss of sense of community among jws.. 2. policy of consolidating kingdom halls.

I despised the CBS as well, cant understand the melancholy and reminiscing about it, stuck in someones stinking dirty house for over an hour with people you wouldn't spend a second with outside any jw related activities, it was boring and dull and was usually the first to be dumped, they should have done it years earlier.

Availability Crisis of Conscience.
by Ben131895 inmost of us are desperately waiting for the availability of a legal crisis of conscience.
deborah dykstra provided us with two updates.
on december 12, 2015 there was a clear statement about the copyright which stopped all illegal activity in spreading electronic versions & prints.. finally, she promised a new update by or before may 6.. so far no new update.

looking like CoC and the other Commentary Press publications will just fade away and become distant memories the only outlet will be the few PDF's and the exorbitant Amazon/Ebay copies and I sense there will be very few of those left, shame the debacle of this has dragged on for far too long.
