i 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.

there are threads on the content of the rc and reaction of awake jws here, but how are indoctrinated jws reacting to the convention.
my family and i have not attended yet, but i am bracing myself for it.
anybody talking in jw circles?
I emailed the bunker videos and the 'paradise' video to an active JW I know. I received a reply to stop sending apostate videos. Go figure.
a few sources in brussels (where i born) confirmed me that one legal representative of the european parliament has required a few copies at the street booths in town.
.
copies were requested in french, dutch and english....
Mario Moreno (JW Attorney) once gave testimony, on behalf of WTBTS and JWs, before a European Court that children cannot be members of the JWs but can only participate with their parents in the activities of the community. The "two mommies" video featuring Sofia is therefore aimed at non-practising JW children and might be a violation under EU child protection laws.
Worth looking into.

hildebrando,
Love your leaks and regular info. Your files automatically download - via the link - onto certain devices such as iPads, tablets (android) and cell phones. Certain auto downloads cannot be turned off and can result in excessive carrier $$$ charges. Not for me but others.
Maybe best to link to a page that has a "Download Here" icon and the file size and type.
Cheers.

the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.
it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?
the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.
Timing . . . ?
when i first heard the term 'critical thinking' it was as a teenager during a watchtower study.
the study went on to elaborate how we shouldn't be swayed by critical thinking.
there was no explanation that the term didn't mean 'to criticize' thoughts and words, but rather that it means 'to objective think and to evaluate thoughts and words'.

may 24, 2016 to all bodies of elders re: release of english revised new world translation in braille
The Bible in Braille has always caused serious concern among mature Christians. For example: How long is it considered appropriate for a brother to let his fingers linger on the following sentence before it become "loose conduct"?

This giant earthworm, unique to Gippsland, Australia, poses a potential problem to the doctrinal teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses. According to the current governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses the Gippsland earthworm migrated underground from Australia to the Middle East, or vice-versa, so as to be considered one of the animals on Noah's ark.
Gotta love that "?WTFJWs" at the end of the article link.
