Anthony Morris - AP's in August, 900%, increase, yet decrease in BS's

by berrygerry in

the only video that i've found of tomo is 39:00 minutes long - the ending is missing.. various posts mentioned highlights of the tremendous witness in august, with a 900% increase in ap's, as well as some other magnificent accomplishment that i cannot locate.. then i painfully listened to the video to verify, and at about 38:00, tomo bemoans the downward trend in bible studies.. the best august of all-time, yet downward trend.. looks like the toilet bowl is swirling.. .

The hour requirement is so low, it's no wonder the average JW aux. pioneers in the summer. the lack of studies is pretty easy to explain.

the ministry now consists of tract campaigns. there's like 3 a year now at the very least. there's carts which is just handing out lit and taking the person's information if they want more. JWs are encouraged to play videos to people. again, no real teaching. and now a JW can send a text message as an RV. again, no teaching.

gee i wonder why there's no bible studies.

Suggestion: Don't Accept Everyone's Opinion Here

by minimus in

everyone has an opinion on things.

oftentimes, we ask for help or want the view of the board in a matter.

but just remember, the comments are simply personal views.

Barrold Bonds

yeah you're right. there's a lot of straight up crazy people on here with bizarre conspiracy theories and others who straight up lie to grind whatever axe they gotta grind.

" I like AM3's style, saying: "Aw shucks everybody, it's not me saying it, it's the publications! If you got a problem, take it up with the man upstairs.""

I haven't heard the zone visit talk, but he used that line in one of his convention talks this year. He then proceeded to tell us nothing about stories involving him or his family.

I'm not really sure. It's hard to tell. As far as the 'public face' of the GB, it is without a doubt Morris. As for who runs the show in their meetings, I don't know. It could be any of them, really.

One thing I've found, and maybe someone can back me up, but it seems the guys who appeared to be softies were really the biggest assholes. Like, Barber seemed like a goofy old man and Barr talked like your perfect imaginary grandpa, but from what I've been told they were the real hardliners. On the other hand I've been told Jaracz was really a more moderate person despite coming off as a jerk.

Someone mentioned Splane earlier, and yeah, I've heard plenty of morning worships from him. The dude's a dick.

Inactive ones are bloodguilty?

by dissonance_resolved in

i've been thinking about brother morris' statement at the zone meeting this past weekend that inactive ones are bloodguilty.

bloodguilt is defined as "guilty of murder or manslaughter.

" murder is #1 on the list of disfellowshipping offenses- all they would have to do is change the wording from "murder" to "bloodguilt" and suddenly there you have grounds to disfellowship anyone who's inactive.

the ministry is a fucking joke anyway. what are the new ways to witness?

-stand in front of a cart and hand out lit, get people's info

-stand on their doorstep and play videos off your handheld device

-give people a paper tract about a website (wtf??)

-TEXT MESSAGE PEOPLE? Seriously. What's up with that. Zero effort shit. "hey how r u. did u rd the WT. want 2 talk?" holey moley. If i told an elder I sent a text to someone and i counted it as an RV, they'd flip their shit and have a meeting with me asap.

Nov 2014 KM - a text message counts as a return visit!

by EndofMysteries in

if you don't know, km's are now online too.

under the heading, "i cannot find him at home again!

" it mentions how a text message or email is to be counted as a return visit.

Barrold Bonds

so if the 3rd RV can be counted as a bible study, could a publisher conduct a study via text messaging? Does this also apply to some sort of instant messenger like facebook messenger or AIM?

Holey moley the ministry has become a fucking joke.

i thought all the embarssing books were supposed to be thrown out?

i had a look in the library last meeting and my hall still has all the bound volumes going right back to the beginning.

including studies in the scriptures.

i thought the order from on high was that these were to be destroyed or taken away?

Barrold Bonds

Every once in a while someone claims that congregations have been ordered to toss old literature from the libraries. For the millionth time, here's the official policy:

-The LIBRARY should have as complete a library as possible, including old shit

-The LITERATURE counter should toss ooold shit or stuff that's not in good condition.
