Biggest issue effecting apostates
by joe134cd ini got to thinking today & you know what i think the single biggest issue effecting apostates are.
its they cannot unite and this is what gives the watchtower the upper hand.
what needs to happen (and quite honestly i don't think it will)they all have to come under one common body.

How come christendom's churches last so long?
by hoser inthis thought just came to me.
i look around in my community and churches of christendom are at least 100 if not 150 years old and they are still in use.
so what is so wrong with the building program of the regional building committee, that the kingdom halls rarely last past 50 years and are replaced?

Did I plant a seed ?
by Phizzy ini met a bro and his wife in a local store at the weekend, i didn't get much of a chance to say anything to make him think, so i looked back on the conversation as an epic fail on my part.. but thinking about what i said, one bit may stick, we were talking about the old days and how thirty or forty years ago the smallish congregations as they were then had a "family" feel about them, he then remarked about the "wonderful expansion" over the years, so i said "yes, but i would think here in the west they are now stagnating".
he agreed, so i said "the trouble is today that if anyone is thinking of doing anything life changing they google it first".. we then talked of other things, but i wonder if that may spur him on to google the jw's and see what is said ?.
i do hope so..
