Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline
by slimboyfat ini was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.
until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.
but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

I just don't understand this, what am I missing???
by Greybeard inas i am watching this video about changes at bethel, the speaker said, "aren't we glad the faithful and discrete slave continues to make adjustments when necessary.
what about this change?
"finally, we examined why jesus’ arrival to appoint the faithful slave over all his belongings did not occur in 1919 but will take place during the great tribulation" that is from this online watchtower article last paragraph: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20130715/jesus-prophecy-last-days/ .

HTTPS (SSL security) Now Available
by Simon ini've setup an ssl certificate so you can now use https to browse the site.
this creates an encrypted connection between your browser and the server which is more secure and prevents urls visited from being shown in router logs, content can't be eavesdropped etc.... there are also some performance benefits but they won't kick in until i make some more changes.. consider it experimental for now but at some point it will likely automatically redirect you to the secure version of a page.. you can try it by adding 's' to the http part of any address or just goto the home page and browse from there (some mixed content means you may not get the fully green https status in your browser just yet though).. let me know if you have any issues using the site..

Help needed: transgender people and other unclear topics
by TeaBiscuit infirst of all, i am not quite sure whether this is the right place to ask my questions.
if this is not really appropriate, please tell me in advance, but i really did not know who to turn to, so i thought why not ask the internet... now, i know many of you are apostates and i'm not really looking for "leave it all behind you" answers, but really for experiences, thoughts and ideas... as well as maybe some verses if you can think of any.. anyway, first things first.
since this is very anonymous and i'd like to keep it that way, i will not give you my name, but still, i think some background info might be helpful.

nonjw married to a jw, video by Critical Thinker - excellent!
by nonjwspouse ini just came across this today.
it is a recent addition to the channel.
it accurately describes the troubles of a non-aware, non-jw marrying a disfellowshipped jw who then turns around and feels the need to become reinstated.

JW said they are unique
by StephaneLaliberte inlooking at a news article, i read the following:.
“that’s one thing that’s unique about jehovah’s people,” said marty mettler, a spokesman for the green bay convention.
“they even tell the hotels when they book they’re coming because some people book and don’t show.

Nice Little Annual Top-Up
by berrygerry ininteresting little development permit squabble about a billboard on jw land.. http://www.canlii.org/en/ab/absdab/doc/2012/2012cgysdab203/2012cgysdab203.html?searchurlhash=aaaaaqahamvob3zhaaaaaaab&resultindex=11.
finally, mr. baird directed the board to page 2 of the board’s report which is a copy of a letter from jehovah kingdom hall centre which states that they did not realize that the change in the zoning would affect their ability to earn revenue from the sign, and this sign has been in place since 1997. as the property owner, they are in full support of the development permit application.
i guess so.. 78k per year.
