the watchtower doesn't hold out any hope for us ever seeing our beloved animals again.
i find it very difficult to believe that god -- a god of love -- would refuse to resurrect an animal that we had become so attached to.
over the years i have bonded with no less than four (4) dogs, all of which were/are like family to me.

i think it's closer to 5 million with all the selling of kingdom hells and branch bethel's all over the world.
it's even hard to get a hard copy of the lastest craptower or afake mag now in new york city..
The watchtower organization can pad the numbers like any business. They certainly lack transparency when it comes to their financials. Still, 8.5 million is still a very tiny number compare to other religions that have been around for about the same amount of time.
The 8 guys in New York are worried for sure!

after the new construction project is announced, anthony morris the turd gives a talk where he arrogantly tells the audience to 'get over it' and get to work.
he says relaxing is fine and 'im not trying to put a guilt trip on you' but you all need to get busy.
no graciousness at all for the endless volunteer labor they demand for whatever new projects they dream up.
I can't listen to any of those guys talk. It literally repels me knowing what kind of bullsh*t that they are spewing out! I suppose that some of my feelings of repulsion for them is that at one time I use to "hang" on their every word as if it were inspired. OMG what a fool!

have you ever been told that humility requires waiting on jehovah?i have.
lots of times.
for decades.
Good topic Afterburn.
More importantly to me as I have often explained to the local elders in "my" congregation, :Why did Jehovah give the the governing body the WRONG understanding to begin with so that so called "new light" would be need to correct the wrong understandings?"
And yea, I lack humility too, I quit waiting on Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny!

from a member of the board asking for this to be posted.. hi.
i'm pimo.
could you please let people know about this?
I'm in the San Francisco bay area in California. A few months ago a brother gave a talk at our hall and mentioned a that recently 17 congregations in the San Jose area (just south of San Francisco) had merged and/or been dissolved.

are you put off with gwyneth paltrow`s marketing of a brand of candles she advertises as "smelling like my vagina " ?.
she sure has gone down in my estimation as an actress and /or role model for young women if that what she was ever about in the first place .. how gross is that ?
and the interview i saw after this with her was one big joke ?
Why would anyone purchase a candle that smells like tuna fish??

A life time Lakers hater! But always admire pure talent and Kobe had it! I'm 73 and have seen the great ones play but if I had to pick the guy for the final shot with the game on the line---Kobe would have been my guy!
RIP my man!

have you ever suffered a great disappointment?.
well, meet william miller!______.
time: 1782 (after the american revolution and before the war of 1812).
Great piece Terry,
I'm 73 now and spent over half a century in the jw prison. Of course, there were times that I actually truly believed. As the 'disappointments' mounted up, I began to withdraw, at least mentally and emotionally from the wt. I wanted so much to believe, but real life has a way of setting matters straight and revealing the truth. In the years leading up to 1975, I didn't sell everything and start full time preaching so I guess I didn't really believe that the end was coming. When 1994-95 came and went, (end of the 1914 'generation') the disappointment became disbelief!
One last hope was that, "surely by the end of the 20th century" this system would end and we would be in paradise! My wife and I purchased a brand new 1998 GMC Suburban right at the end of 1997. I remember jokingly telling her that would would be able to drive this vehicle right into the 'new system'. She hesitated for a moment and then laughed. Then she added, "I'd rather drive in in a new BMW but that wouldn't look to good to the other survivors!" I LMAO!

if this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.
”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.
they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.
More of Frantic Freddy's bs falling by the way side. Too think that we once believed this shit is sickening. We were being led by lunatics and didn't even know it!
