Where have all the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons Gone
Herald Sun newspaper
Victoria, AUSTRALIA
21 April 2017
"Where have all the Jehovahs Witnesses gone. They used to knock at our door every other weekend, then they stopped that and set up a stall in the carpark at the supermarket . . ."

You know the door-to-door preaching of JWs is in decline when even the media and public notice it. Add to that the JWs are drastically reducing their Watchtower and Awake! magazine printing, conventions, meetings, books, branch offices, headquarters staff, printeries, assembly halls, kingdom halls, etc.
Ftn. The newspaper article mentions a Bunnings store. This is a hardware retail outlet identical to Home Depot.

One of the key ways to tell if it is a cult or toxic high control group....
by stuckinarut2 inmy wife and i were discussing a sure sign of a cult:.
when one knows more about the society / organization after leaving!.
lets face it, most of us here on this forum, and ex-witnesses in general know more facts about the history, background, practices, current procedures, scandals, etc than the average "still-in witness"!

Damon Wayans was apparently at 2017 Annual Meeting
by Richard_I infrom this post on reddit.com/r/exjw, damon wayans was at the 2017 annual meeting.
the wayans were raised as jw's but i don't think any of them stated.. strange to see him here.
this is the same man who defended bill cosby from all the sex abuse allegations..

Good move on Damon's part. Makes him relevant and an excellent interview source for Leah Remini's proposed series exposing the JWs.

Watchtower and Awake! two year cycle.
JW: Would you like a copy of our latest Watchtower magazine?
HOUSEHOLDER: (looking closer) Hang on. I already have a copy of that magazine. In fact I remember you giving me a copy two years ago.
JW: Well, yes, but this Watchtower magazine has 'new light' teachings which replace the 'old light' teachings in the Watchtower magazine of two years ago.
HOUSEHOLDER: What the f¥€#.

Awake 9/8/1975 page 26 … unscriptural money-raising schemes
Glad that point was cleared up. Wouldn't want to confuse the unscriptural money-raising schemes of false religions with the scriptural money-raising schemes of the Watchtower.

Sounds like governing body will be making a big push for monetary donations during the 2017 AGM and want to make sure that they fleece every last coin from the flock. Having a new label put on each local congregation's own donation box is a real sign of desperation.
