Local Needs: Low Hours
by breakfast of champions inthe local needs was about low fs time in the cong.
about 1/3 of publishers are averaging 4 hours per month.
that is unprecedented in our cong, a usually 'zealous' congregation.. my take is this: if you don't believe it yourself, why are you going to waste valuable time telling others?

New light emerging?
by breakfast of champions inso, just recently ( i believe it was the september 1 wt) there was the thought that only the "incorrigibly wicked" will be destroyed at armageddon.
at the recent visit of the co, several times he brought up the idea that the "great crowd" will be far more people than just the 7m jws on earth today.
all my life i was raised thinking only jws would be the gc, and the other 99.9% of humanity would be fertilizer.

God is a Union Man
by breakfast of champions infor those active jws, there is a new program in place where publishers who frequent and 'witness' on apostate websites will receive triple time!
that's right, for every hour you spend on an apostate site you may count three hours (hazard pay) just let your service committee know you're interested in this new program and you may be approved to receive triple time!.

Is It Cognitive Bias or Is It Intentional?
by breakfast of champions inwith this latest wt article dealing with the 587/607 disparity, i truly have to wonder how people who have obviously done much research on the subject can systematically and purposefully either suppress or cast doubt upon all 'negative' evidence, while manipulating facts so they appear to support their stance.. is this a case of cognitive bias("a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" as paul simon said)?.
or is this a matter of knowing what the facts are and intentionaly misleading people?.
maybe i already answered my own question.. .

1975 made easy
by breakfast of champions inhave been reading debates on several other threads as to whether or not 1975 was predicted as the end or not.. so go to google news, type in "jehovah's witnesses 1975" or something to that effect, then narrow the results to 1970 - 1979.. actual newspapers will come up with articles about witness predictions of 1975.. from what i see, they did a pretty good job of getting the word out a la harold camping (actually i think he did a better job).
hope this settles the issue for all time.. .

Kinesiology
by breakfast of champions inoh gosh, i could be opening up a can of worms with this one, but.. what the hell!.
it seems to me that there is a disproportionate amount of jws who are involved in kinesiology or hk (health kinesiology).
i mean, if i asked the average guy or gal where i worked if putting a crystal on your bellybutton, moving your arm up and down and charging $100 to cure your ills made any sense they would say, hell no!.
