I got a hell of a chuckle out of this announcement:🤣
2. Requesting Visits on JW.ORG: As a kind reminder, the “Request a Visit” form on jw.org is to be filled out by interested persons and not by publishers in behalf of others. Problems can result when a publisher uses the form to make arrangements for a relative or others to be contacted by one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Thank you projecthydra and Andersonsinfo for the links...another bad day for the WTBTS and Jehovah’s Witnesses...indeed!
Bad publicity while at the same time accurate, truthful and well deserved is never good for the recipient and the one being exposed...Praise The Lord!
Long live the ExJW Community!
the july 2020 announcements mentions that baptism can be held in an “inflatable pool” as long as it touches the ground.
the pool must not be “on a terrace, flat roof, balcony, etc.”.
has anyone ever noticed that as a requirement?.
A boring virtual JW Circuit Assembly was recently held that boasted nearly 6,000 in attendance with a meager 4 young ones baptized!
so my jw father is sick.
my mother uses the opportunity to try and preach to my 16 year old daughter.
i simply told my mother to: "please refrain from trying to lure *my daughter* in with jehovah's witness questioning.
Silentbuddha...your mother sounds like a WT bred woman/grandma scorned! The best of luck in dealing with her! I also get the impression that you're a hell of a good & caring father...keep up the good work...God bless you!đź‘Ť
mexican/central american branch letter to all bodies of elders.
media, or to release news involving jehovah'switnesses.. .

Methinks something is afoot. Any scandals coming up in Mexico?
English speaking exjws don't get out much ...so to speak! The scandals taking place in WT U.S.A world are duplicated in the Spanish speaking JW community.
As an example...visit youtube.com channels under Testigos De Jehova and you'll find as much activity among exjws there as you do among English speaking channels. In fact you'll find some channels that put John Cedars/Loyd Evans to shame with hundreds of thousands of subscribers...millions of viewers and thousands of commenters.
Yah...WT has it's scandalous behavior being blasted on the internet worldwide...Praise The Lord!

I would nominate/recommend Mark O'Donnell AKA John Redwood...I think he has ties with the media/journalism industry...he's fair & objective.
The only problem is that WT wants individuals "who sympathize with our work"! 🤣
Good luck with that WT!

My only hope is to outlive the Elders that I served with, just to go to their funerals and say, I told you so!
James Jack...may God grant you your wish!

It would be good to know how Minimus passed away...I hope I'm not out of line for asking...unless of course the family prefers to keep it private.
My condolences to the family!
a few months back, one of my uncles who was an elder, asked the co, why jehovah would allow the door to door preaching work, to come to an abrupt end.
this was when my uncle was starting to have serious doubts about the organization.. the co told him to be patient, and hang in there, because the governing body was on top of things and in time would explain what is happening regarding the preaching work.. my uncle asked; “what do you mean?”.
co said; “focus on the wt study articles in the coming months” .
The Jehovah’s Witnesses door to door preaching work has been for the last 15 years or more fruitless & unproductive. I've been in circuits that boast having upwards of 300 to 400 regular and auxiliary Pioneers...yet when it comes time for the baptismal talks at JW circuit assemblies the speaker finds himself talking to 1, 2, or 3 and sometimes zero baptismal candidates. It is rare that any of those getting baptized are outside adult converts...mainly just very young children of JW families. Circuits could have 1,000 Pioneers...that still would not improve productivity...the WT/JW cult message is not welcomed anywhere! This deadbeat JW parasite religion is a thing of the past...IMMHO!
i’m reservations, pimo elder.
i’m in no position to leave the organisation, maybe some people will see that as weak or whatever, but we have to all go down our own path in life.. i would like to be able to wake people up in my congregation, how do you think best to do this?
any ideas?.
I would imagine there are a ton of JW elders reading this thread who are currently experiencing the same struggles & can relate to your predicament Reservations. The following advice from truth_b_known will benefit y'all:
