30 years ago, in an Australian congregation I was in, the elders presented to the congregation a choice of two types of floor coverings for the kingdom hall. After much discussion the body of elders put the decision to the congregation for "a vote". Hardly anyone voted for either floor covering. Why? JW's do not vote.

marriage"equality" survey, Australia.
by zeb inthe australian govt has set out a survey to see if people are in favour of changing the marriage act to include same sex couples.. hm here have received their papers?
the survey promises to be anonymous but has a substantial bar code at the bottom... anonymous yeah right.. the marriage act once said "two people" then a previous prime minister changed it to say "man and woman" all that is needed to amend this situation as required by the gay community is change it back again to "two people" there, done and dusted.. and millions of dollars need not be wasted on this survey which is not compulsory as is voting in australia.
can anyone here who still goes to kh tell us if this has had a ruling from the platform?.

The book Hitler’s Table Talk, 1941-1944: Secret Conversations records Hitler as having said the following sometime between February and September 1942:
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjugated races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjugated races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty."
There's a reason why the governing body do not want the subjugated to possess arms. -

The JW Blood Issue: Resolved!
by loyal2truth ini just completed writing a series of 8 blog posts dismantling the watchtower's blood policies.. it was my goal to prove that the blood ban is neither scriptural nor sensible.
this is a rewrite of the series of articles i contributed some years ago to the now defunct jehovahswitnessblog site of james peyton (you may also know james as the founder of jwpodcast.
) even though this is a very serious topic, i tried to stay true to the humorous mood "tenny pajamas" always managed to maintain on his site.

RUSSIA - September 2017 - Jehovah's Witnesses appeal extremist label and Supreme Court decision

Smiddy, let's face the facts, namely the current JW 'teachings and beliefs' in Russia will one day be replaced with new 'teachings and beliefs' in Russia thereby relegating the old 'teachings and beliefs' to false 'teachings and beliefs'. Even jehovah knows this. So why complain that the Russian government is banning current JW 'teachings and beliefs' which will one day be declared by the gb as former 'teachings and beliefs' to be banned by the JWs as false 'teachings and beliefs'.

Jehovah's Witnesses appeal Russian decision on declaring them extremist organization
https://jw-russia.org/news/17091115-214.html
[40 page court argument with 166 points.]
On September 11, 2017, at 11:30 am, lawyers for Jehovah's Witnesses filed a supervisory complaint against the decision of the Supreme Court to liquidate and ban all 396 registered religious organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. The complaint must be scheduled for consideration by the Presidium of the Supreme Court of Russia within 3 months.
The request is to completely cancel the decision of the Supreme Court of April 20, 2017 and suspend its execution until the end of the proceedings in the court of the supervisory instance.
The decision of the Supreme Court of Russia, unjustifiably attributed to the "extremists" whole religion, has already resulted in the most negative consequences for believers in the form of dismissals , waves of religious hatred , attacks , police raids , criminal cases and imprisonment of innocent people.
The international community unanimously condemned this decision of the court.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses have lodged an appeal with Russia's Supreme Court after being added to an "extremist" registry alongside banned terrorist organizations, the court told the Interfax news agency on Tuesday.
Russia’s Justice Ministry added the religious group to a registry of banned organizations last month after the Supreme Court ruled in April to formally ban the group.
The judgement forced 396 registered Jehovah’s Witnesses branches across Russia to dissolve.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses said on their website on Monday that the Supreme Court has three months to consider the appeal.

My Father has brandished me with the "APOSTATE" word for talking about the BIBLE!
by stuckinarut2 inso after three years of fading, my elder father has never really asked why we have chosen to stop attending.. today, after a mixed discussion, he starts talking about the "solution to all the world problems" and says "i don't know what you now believe, but i believe gods kingdom will fix everything" i let the comment go, and didn't respond.. then he goes on about the video "remember the wife of lot" because he just came from the convention last weekend.
"don't get caught up in this system...blah blah".
i couldn't help myself, and said one thing "dad, that video failed to show the next chapter of that account.

So your JW father views your personal condemnation of a man raping his own daughters as apostasy that "has clearly gone too far" while adding that he "will NOT allow you to subvert [his] faith" by your implied condemnation of child incestuous rape.
No offence to you but is your father an elder that supports the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses? Call him out.

10 Graphs that show that the Watchtower is in trouble in Mexico
by ILoveTTATT2 inmexico is by far the country where the witnesses have had the most success in the entire world.
almost any statistic except the total amount of witnesses shows that mexico is where the witnesses have had the wildest success in the world.proportional to population, the witnesses in mexico are double, or nearly triple, what they are in the us or brazil.but there is "trouble in paradise".
if mexico falls, pretty much the whole watchtower falls.which is why it is so important to have jwfacts translated to spanish.i made an analysis and things are looking bad in mexico... if trends continue, mexico will become just like the 1st-world countries.here is the first graph:maximum publisher % increase:.
