please pardon if this a repeated topic.
i have had virtually no contact with any witnesses beside my mother for the past few years.
she watches tv constantly and claims she has never seen anything on the watchtower abuse cases.
In this country most are unaware of it, and those that I have tried to talk to about it have had little interest in knowing. The 2 best comments I got when I tried mentioning it are.
1 I've got better things to worry about
2 don't read overseas news papers because this will confuse me.
Of course I've had the standard replies of apostate lies / greedy victims / satanic media etc
was life that bad for you?
we are really sorry...
http://beta.mormon.org.
for instance look at the mormon website versus jw.org.
they both look colorful and try to paint themselves as "normal everyday people" and they don't fully explain all there beliefs for obvious reasons.
of all the threads here about the number of partakers increasing, i don't recall theories as to why they report this.
they could stop reporting numbers altogether or lie.
instead they say, in essence, "our teachings about end times and heavenly hope are still wrong"..

according to this story, finland is investigating and claims that only one judicial body is legal, theirs.
so a religion having a judicial system is illegal.
i was just invited.
i thanked my old elder friend and he left.
(i'm not going).
can anyone confirm they seem to be having disagreement writing dept and service dept some feel that df ok as long as you do not add wholesale across the board shunning regardless of the sin ..
here are the court details and the story behind it all... man suing watchtower for disfellowshipping/defamation.
hey guys,.
so i've written up a letter to my friend that i plan on sending him to try to wake him up.
he's a very sensible man who i care deeply for.
reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?
i bet its very minimal.
naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.
