i have met people who have been 'out' for well over twenty years, and they still talk about the watchtower as if they never left or as if they left yesterdayrr in a response on the thread: don't you have a single good thing to say?'.
are we perhaps all whistling in the dark?

The Abject WTS Plate Spinner!
by ISP inever seen the plate spinner rushing from pole to pole keeping all his plates spinning?
substitute lies for plates and you will see as time goes on it will be increasingly difficult for the wts to keep all its stuff ticking over.. it was so easy in times gone by.
after all ever wondered why you're in this position?

How can you get more?
by ozziepost inthe headline on the april kingdom ministry reads: "how all who attend the memorial on april 8 can benefit more fully".. notice the expression "more fully".

Who's to blame?
by ozziepost inwhen viv mouritz , former branch coordinator in australia, addressed the special meeting of sydney and surrounding area congregations at the superdome last weekend, he blamed the young witnesses who were leaving "the truth" for the drop in numbers in australia.. at the service meeting this week in one sydney congregation it was announced by a bethel elder that the elders have been told (as if they didn't know already!
) that 2,000 have left "the truth" in the past two years in australia.
this typical congregation of 120 publishers has lost 19 inactive since 1999.. the march 2001 issue of kingdom ministry (australian edition) gives the number of publishers for december as 58,426, pioneers 3,315 and 19 baptized.. in dec '98 there were 58,706 pubs,and in dec '99 there were 58,000.. with 1,600-1,800 being baptized each year, there is indeeed a 2,000 shortfall.. so, who's to blame?
