That is the damndest truth!π€£
so the tms....does anyone think it might ever go away?
possibly being replaced by a borg streaming presentation that's required viewing from home?
it seems to me that with the congregation merging and sell-off that's going on, there are going to be 4 maybe 5 congregations sharing some khs.

with all the scandals of the organization, it would .

that they loosen the reins of control and be more honest with its members.
Hundreds of thousands if not millions live and hope this cult floods over and drowns sooner than later...preferably in our lifetime due to the harm, damage, destruction and death it has caused!

Is The Governing Body Underestimating The Volume Of Those Waking Up?
I don't think so...there are too many factors that signal to them that indeed they are in for some difficult years ahead. This cult is dealing with too many emergency-like situations to think otherwise. The pedophile/child molester dilemma is not going away any time soon. There is the forever problem of very low meeting attendance on the part of baptized rank and file...add to that the very low number of new outside converts. The list is endless of predicaments this organization is dealing with to think they aren't worried about their own future. What we here on this forum need to do is sit tight...be patient...there are too many cracks in the dam's wall of this cult...there are only soo many "winters" this organization can deal with before it floods over!
just got a phone call this morning from a very upset anointed brother.
he said he didn't believe me when i told him about the pedo problem and selling off of halls.
he said he was disgusted with the watchtower and had to go to a special meeting last night.
Data Dog -- I don't like what ya say re/their new smaller, game, plan, but agree.
Ordinarily...a business that is floundering, downsizes first and if that doesn't help then it operates with a skeleton crew. I really don't mind if WT after downsizing fails... morphs into a skeleton...it would be a good fit!π€£

What Humphry said...
These guys are stuck on stupid!
from john redwood.... a preview of upcoming news:.
jehovah's witnesses are appealing to the supreme court of the united states, but this time it has nothing to do with preaching or saluting the flag.. it's all about child abuse.. specifically, the protection (or cover-up) of information, documents, and testimony of persons involved in cases of child abuse.. i will be covering this story in the coming weeks and months, but i thought i would share some of this news and try to distill it down as simply as i can.. i'd like to point out first that watchower has appealed to the supreme court in connection with their loss of yet another california child abuse case.
the chance that watchtower's appeal being will be heard by the supreme court is slim, but anything is possible.. what brought this about?.
Thanks Tate...a thread like this is like Christmas in July!π
Looking forward to your updates.

london β even in our senior years, having sex regularly β or even just fooling around β can significantly improve wellbeing and contentment in life, a new study finds.. researchers from anglia ruskin university and university college london found seniors who reported any type of sexual activity within the previous 12 months felt greater levels of enjoyment and satisfaction in their lives compared to sexually inactive individuals.
results were based on survey data from 6,879 participants in england who were 65 years old, on average.. βthe findings of our study suggest that it may be beneficial for physicians to query geriatric patients about their sexual activity and offer help for sexual difficulties, such as problems with erections, as sexual activity helps older people live more fulfilling lives,β says dr. lee smith, a reader in exercise medicine at anglia ruskin, in a media release.. smith, along with co-author sarah jackson, found there were differences for men and women based on the type of sexual activity.
Make way for the Pink Kangaroo pill for women & the Blue Kangaroo pill for men. Spanish Fly Pro does wonders in the bedroom for aging men & women as well.
The only problem with this thread is the image in my head that I'm left with of senior citizens having full blown sex...exploring different positions with orgasms to boot!π€£π€£π€£
However, encouragement to try new positions and explore different types of sexual activities is not regularly given to ageing populations,β says Smith.
the recruiting work of jehovah's witnesses has never been very effective.
such low positive results for such great efforts.
but the members are paying the gas money and expending the hours, so watchtower is not really losing out.i want you to think about the rejection jw's receive, be it a negative response at the door or people ignoring them at the cart.
The recruiting work of Jehovah's Witnesses has never been very effective. Such low positive results for such great efforts. But the members are paying the gas money and expending the hours, so Watchtower is not really losing out.
Don't forget the loss of revenue in the lives of each and every JW...year after year after year. Time preparing for going to meetings...time wasted while at the meetings...time preparing for field service...time wasted while in field service...time wasted and money spent going to and from circuit assemblies & regional conventions...time wasted working on Kingdom Hall building projects...time wasted in the Bethel lifestyle...etc...etc...etc.
In reality the average JW may be spending 75 to 100 of unproductive hours and more each and every month as a Jehovah's Witness...that's nearly 1,200 hours yearly of what could otherwise be tme spent earning revenue/income. Last I heard minimum wage in the U.S.A. was going up to $15 an hour...1,200 hrs X $15/hrs = $18,000 of lost annual revenue/income for those who make minimum wage alone...$18,000 of lost revenue/income year after year after year adds up...in ten years that's $180,000...in 20 years that's $360,000. Any wonder why many if not most senior retiring Jehovah's Witnesses are not prepared for old age!
the watchtower has recently been reminding the sheeple that humanity is on the threshold of the cry for peace and security which will signal the destruction of all false religion.
president trump just released a live streaming message that religious freedom will always be number one priority for the united states and the united nations.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvflqinrs6u.
wrong again watchtower..
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and the rank and file would like to think that Jehovah will put it into their hearts to destroy all religion...Naught!

instructions for congregation secretary.
There they go again with that word Exemplary in the New Features letter regarding My Profile:
Exemplary baptized publishers who are interested in submitting an application for expanded theocratic service are encouraged to fill out their "My Profile".
Exemplary means worthy, honorable & virtuous among other things. The opposite of exemplary is bad, dishonorable, unworthy & poor among other unflattering words.
My question is...of the 8.5 million JWs ...how many are exemplary and how many are of the unflattering/unfavorable type? Why make the distinction? Me would say exemplary and Jehovah's Witnesses don't belong in the same sentence! There's no such thing as an exemplary cult member in such a destructive religion!
