two elders who visited my friend last week encouraged her not to pursue higher studies.
it seems they are dishing out the same old stuff: “the end is imminent, and this is the time to do more in the service; hence don’t waste your resources on higher studies.”.
i wonder whether there was some official communiqué (something that is sent out recently like letter to the elders, or kingdom ministry article …).

i can easily believe that thousands did all through the watchtowers glory years but especially after '95 the whole thing has been unravelling.
kidding yourself to maintain family relationships and social networks is *somewhat* understandable in life but on your deathbed?.
i think the demographic for jw's may actually get younger as time goes on.
How many JW's believe to their last breath . .
100% Of The Dead JW`s..

back in 2005, i remember sitting in the stadium in the special rows with 42 others.
8000 people were looking at us - maybe even with a binocular - while listening to the speech.
my family and my friends among them, being all proud of me.. i don't remember being enthusiastic.
its been pointed out to me that two eye witnesses are always needed for elders to form a judicial case.
the sister could have sex with a brother.
she confesses and he denies, he gets off free, sure.
Does the two witness rule still stand on minor sins?
Not if a Kingdom Hall has Been Vandalized..
You don`t need any witnesses for that..
You don`t need to call the WBT$ Legal Department..
The WBT$ wants you to Call the Police Immediately..
which magazine is now the most widely circulated in the world?.
before responding, keep in mind that certain parameters (such as content and page count) ought to be met before any printed material intended for mass distribution can be categorized as a “magazine”.
for example, the absolute minimum range for any publication to be considered a magazine is typically around 32 to 48 pages while the highest page counts are usually around 128 to 160, with some popular women’s fashion magazines coming in quite a bit higher than that.. so with that said, which is now the world’s most widely circulated magazine?.
Most Widely Circulated Magazine In The World..
Nobody wants WBT$ Crap Literature..
95% of WatchTower Literature is "stored" in JW homes around the world..

why would our beloved gb member be on the top picture of the program?.
any ideas?.
Boy...back in the day personal glorification was a total no no...everything had to be done with anonymity.....now they love to flash their pompous arses all over their private club media......tiki
I Think You`ll All Agree..
This Is The Best Assembly Ever!

on many posts by those with experience of df or da shunning, it look to me that the most fanatical observers of the shunning practise are mothers, and when a person approached parents about their own doubts or intentions, approaching the mother the most daunting prospect .
odd that visiting warwick leaflet has a picture of a meeting of some sort with a room comprising men only, given the subordinate role given to women, one might think they would be more liberal over shunning close ones, but not so.. what drives this, is it grabbing an opportunity to be more visible by their loyalty, or low level of education of a lot of dubs so that the sisters blindly accept direction or authority.
i might have expected some kick back against the shunning practise by sisters giving evidence to their independence of thought.. our real thinkers here will be able to explain this fanaticism of loyalty better.
Shunning - Are Mothers Most Fanatical?
Usually both JW Parents are Crazy JW`s..

Family Christian — a nonprofit retailer based in Grand Rapids with outlets in 36 states — announced today it is closing after 85 years.
How many Charity Outlets or Soup Kitchens does the Watchtower have to worry about closing..
Zero..
WatchTower Has Never Had Any..
with all the stuff going on in the org.
that is not being said, many of the friends say, well, jehovah will clean his house first....with all this religious hiding of child abuse...what denomination was exposed/cleaned first...although they were forced they were exposed and many still go to these places of worship.
so are the jw really god's chosen channel.
Jehovah will clean his house first...
Wait until he finds out what Watchtower was using it for..
