i know of the local congregation's issues, per an elder i know quite well.
he has said that nearly everyone in the congregation is suffering emotionally and mentally.
he said he has never seen so many witnesses with so many problems.
Yes - JWs are hppy - because they live in the "spiritual paradise"
WT 2015-07-15 page 9 § 13
The existence of a spiritual paradise in the midst of a wicked, corrupt, and loveless world is a modern-day miracle! The wonders about Jehovah’s organization, or “Zion,” and the truth about the spiritual paradise must be joyfully passed on “to future generations.”
i do believe it is written somewhere in jw literature .
Crisis of Conscience
***w81 2/15 p.19 Do We Need Help to Understand the Bible?***
Born in's can prove there religion:
*** sm p. 16 par. 4 The Need to Search for the Truth ***
4 The man who truly surrenders himself to God is the one who carefully examines all aspects of the religion he was born into. If he finds it is true, he remains with it. But if he finds it is false, he sets out to find the true religion.

7 Yes, we may have received our religion from our parents, and we respect our parents. We owe them much, and many of the things they have given us are very good. But that does not mean we have to accept everything they say without thinking. Our parents are human, as we are. They make mistakes, as we do. In fact, many of the problems that we have to live with today are because of things that our parents’ generation did. They did not do them deliberately to make things hard for us. They just made mistakes, because of being human.
8 Hence, a wise man will examine the things he has received from his parents, including his religion. He will keep the good things and reject those things that are not good. This is essential if he is to find the truth about religion.

bobcat's recent post has led to this article in mar 15, 2015 wt, pp 7-11, par 9, 10:.
for many years, gods people found this approach to bible accounts faith strengthening.
why, then, have things changed?10 as we might expect, over the years jehovah has helped the faithful and discreet slave to become steadily more discreet.

10 As we might expect, over the years Jehovah has helped “the faithful and discreet slave” to become steadily more discreet. Discretion has led to greater caution when it comes to calling a Bible account a prophetic drama unless there is a clear Scriptural basis for doing so.
... it's like to become steadily more pregnant for a woman
A woman is pregnant - or is not pregnant.
The slave is discreet - or is not discreet.
i'm sure many of us have seen the local design construction video for elders that was leaked on youtube.
i saw a few seconds of it and was going to the library to download it, but at that point it was taken offline.
now, a heavily edited version is on jw broadcasting.

i was sitting next to a sister this evening who during the whole ride she had one of those plastic folders that holds the mags and pamphlets, she had both spanish and english and was holding the folder out in front of her until she got off the train.
i asked her if she was counting her time, she said yes (of course she asked how do i know about that).
she said it's not easy talking to the people in the station (seemed like she meant standing with the trolley or just the mags) because sometimes people say things that aren't nice, so she counts her time on her daily commute.
