Who's to blame?
by ozziepost inwhen viv mouritz , former branch coordinator in australia, addressed the special meeting of sydney and surrounding area congregations at the superdome last weekend, he blamed the young witnesses who were leaving "the truth" for the drop in numbers in australia.. at the service meeting this week in one sydney congregation it was announced by a bethel elder that the elders have been told (as if they didn't know already!
) that 2,000 have left "the truth" in the past two years in australia.
this typical congregation of 120 publishers has lost 19 inactive since 1999.. the march 2001 issue of kingdom ministry (australian edition) gives the number of publishers for december as 58,426, pioneers 3,315 and 19 baptized.. in dec '98 there were 58,706 pubs,and in dec '99 there were 58,000.. with 1,600-1,800 being baptized each year, there is indeeed a 2,000 shortfall.. so, who's to blame?

Did Snakes have Legs? Yes/No
by Thirdson ini managed to find a piece i wrote last year and subsequently lost.
thanks to the archiving efforts of a very good person i have managed to get it back.
thinking about some posts here recently regarding the genesis account of the fall of man, i recalled a conversation with a friend a few years back.

Care to hazard a guess?
by LDH inman am i on a roll after talking to my cousin and reading stupid stuff by xandit..... why is the whole jw website ( http://www.watchtower.org ) sitting on a standard non-secure server, but if you want to ask them a question via e-mail, you are rolled to a secure site?.
https://watch001.securesites.com/contact/submit.htm.
i guess it doesn't matter anyway, because you have to give them all of your personal info, and then they won't answer you via email (even though it's on a secure server) but they will send someone to your door.. now why do they need to roll you to a secure server if you're not transmitting confidential info for them to act on?

Guess what *I* just got called?
by LDH intalking to my cousin just now, she has been inactive for years.... she told me she just started going back to the meetings, hard!!!
i asked her a one-word question--"why?".
she immediately flipped out on me, and said because she doesn't want to be responsible for her children's death at armageddon (of course).

"Creator" Book. Is there a reader wh...
by Thirdson insome of you by choice or by compelling reason will attend the book study to consider the creator book.
during the study you might want to ask a few questions.
here are some things to ponder and maybe you can formulate some questions to ask your conductor.. this book is dreadful in its use of quotations.
