  Couldn't watch Don't Tell the Bride as the BBC iplayer won't let me :( Tho, Google did throw up some interesting discussions about it from about a year ago when it was aired.

  haha I'm going to check that out Konceptual! Thanks for the link.

  With SS&SP I couldn't help wonder how the parents were going to get "counselled" for doing the show. They seemed quite sweet actually. They obviously can't be uber dubs.

  Awful car crash TV. Teenagers on vacation getting drunk having sex etc. Parents secretly watch. Then confront them at the end of the show. It turns out the parents of one of the girls are JWs! And they're just finding out what their daughter's really like! too funny!

  Faders shunned now?

  by Sammy Jenkis in

  hi all so my family had their c.a.

  last weekend and my mother dropped this one on me, she'll now be treating me as a df'd person per info she received from a talk at the assembly.

  apparently a fader should be treated as "bad association" given the fact they up and left the holy "truth" to splash around in vomit.. .

  Reminds me of how I used to be. I remember backing off my best friend because she stopped comnig to meetings and going on FS because she was "depressed". I thought she was just trying to find excuses so to my shame I backed off to try and guilt her into reactivating and the friendship faded temorarily. Thankfully it didn't last long because I kept in touch ironically when she moved away. But I remember the judgemental attitude of myself and others.

  I also have family members who have sour grapes about people who "play the system" - i.e. fade without Da ing or DF ing - and will ignore them.

  Finally a fairly recent CO talk (within last 3 years) directly said to have nothing to do with those who have "fallen away" without being D/Fd or D/A if they were leading an immoral life..heartwarming.

  ha ha Gymbob, how evil and mentally diseased

  (I simply can't chance going to the hall. I will be pounced on, as the elders have been trying to get hold of me on the phone for weeks, as well as the occasional house call, which I have ignored)

  How many Bible Students were preaching in 1919?

  by Emery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  doing some additonal research on the 1919 appointment.

  they claim to be the only ones preaching at that time and i find it hard to believe that a few thousand russelites out weighed the global preaching work of christendom.

  especially considering that what they were preaching from door to door at that time was false prophecy and now 95% abandoned.

  I might be wrong but I didn't think there was a general requirement for bible students to preach back in 1919. Back then it was the colporteurs who did the work. Let the figures speak for themselves (sourced from A People For His Name, by Tony Wills)

  Year/Peak Number of Colporteurs:

  1914: "fewer"

  1915: "fewer"

  1916: 372

  1917: 461

  1918: 225

  1919: 507

  1920: 350

  Contrary to Rutherford's later claims of there being a "practical silence" or that the work had "practically stopped" in 1918/19, the WT at the time acknowledged the war had "curtailed" the work but said "we are neither dismayed nor discouraged" (WT 12/15/18)

  Hey thanks for the good advice and suggestions everyone. You've given me an idea - not sure that it will work but it's worth a shot. See you on the other side hopefully! :)
