Wanted to pass along some interesting news about some of the local KH's I found out
by StoneWall inat least 2 of the 4 closest congregations to me had lower attendance at the memorial this year.. i didn't go to the memorial this year but at my own congregation it not only went down some but by a considerable margin.. last year we had 200+ for the memorial, this year down to 157.. second congregation nearby had a drop of over 20. from approx.
i do believe we have been making tremendous inroads in my area.
so many have just stopped going.

Fighting a losing battle
by NiceDream inthat's what i've been feeling lately!.
i've seen the light that the "truth" isn't the truth, but my husband is an avid believer.
unfortunately i realized this after we had a baby.

Sent 3 years ago From: oompa (WT letter)
by lisavegas420 insent3 years agofromoompatolisavegas420titlewt lettermessagehey vegas...if you want the entire letter with all my research let me know...it is six pages.
the bottom line on the response was they would not even send me a direct letter with answers, but chose to send the answer letter to my elders who read only portions of it to me...my elder dad of 30 plus years said he had never heard of that.
the elders told me not to share any of the info as it could hurt others faith...i said how the hell is that if this is the real truth about our bible and how it has changed the greek scriptures???

Madrid Zone talk
by wantarevolution inok - so we were visiting friends in madrid this weekend, and went to the zone talk.
around 13500 in attendance at an old bull ring and the talk was given by david splane.
improvements for the field were to make sure that everyone is preached to - there is a tendency just to preach to south americans and ignore spanish people - also magazine placements are down, they have to be improved.

Was any of you leading a bible study when discovered the truth about the "truth"?
by Desilusionnee ini ask because i'm confronted to that and i really don't know what to do.
i always pointed out that the bible and not the book we are studying together is god's word, but now i really don't know any farther.. the 2nd problem is that we don't only study the bible she is now a friend of mine, our children are of the same age?
were some of you in the same situation?

Why does everyone want to 'quietly' leave? Annual departure day?
by EndofMysteries init seems there are sooo many who sense something is wrong, or not right.
everyone who just 'fades' or is dfed or no longer a jw, it's all assumed for immoral reasons or they just want to lead a 'worldly' lifestyle.
some do, don't believe in god and that's their choice.
