  THE GRAND APOSTATE "WALKOUT" - January 1, 2015

  by RagingBull in

  after knowing ttatt for many years now...i had made up my mind long ago that after 2014, i would no-longer subject myself to the boredom, pain, and frustration of following this cult...the wt...the borg.. so...i made up my mind that since the wtbts/gb makes such a big deal as to the "significance" of the year 1914 and this year 2014, there can be no greater time for me to leave it all behind.

  i daydreamed of how awesome and telling it would be if everyone that could ( because i do know that some have personal circumstances of their own, as i did too) would just .... walkout...never to attend/step foot in a kingdom hall from that moment on.. independence day of sorts?

  there is too much evidence, too many videos, blogs, books, news reports and lawsuits for me to keep lying to myself.

  Teenage Jehovah's Witness loses court bid to refuse life-saving blood transfusion

  interesting verdict, that despite the judge "...noting he was highly intelligent, a "mature minor" and devoted to his faith, the judge also found the boy had been "cocooned in that faith" for his entire life.".

  the young man is 18 in 5 months and will be able to refuse treatment after that.

  So Spill the Beans, Brothers: Were There More or Fewer At this Year's Bore-Fest

  by steve2 in

  the jw date-worshipped memorial has just completed its bleak worldwide commemoration.

  that wasn't a dust cloud you saw; it was a millionfold hearts limply beating themselves into another round of great tribulation expectations.

  i was knocked into a deep, deep sleep by the imagined experience of being at several thousand consecutive kingdom halls as the platformed drones spat forth the predictable sludge that, once released, hits and stains white clothing and bleach is useless.. we know that memorial attendance worldwide has dipped for two consecutive years since 2011 when it reached a high of 19,374,737 and for the promised land, obama's usa, the all time memorial attendance high was also 2011 when it hit over 2.5million (2,563,518) but shrunk in shame back to 2,502,055 in 2012 and spluttered upwards a handful or two to 2,504,114 last year.. so, what was attendance at the date-obsessed bore-fest this year in your neck of the woods?

  I think, Crazyguy, that the attendance count at meetings includes

  all those who can comprehend whats going on. I'll have to check that.

  So I'm pretty sure the same method is used for the Memorial. If ya there

  with ya eyes open ya gets counted ! E.g. cong of 100 publishers baptised or not

  get an attendance at meetings of between 70 and 100 and had

  173 at memorial.

  17% less this year and 30% less than 2011 at the cong I attended

  and the no. wasn't announced from the rostrum.

  Snares observation is on the money I reckon.

  @ Ruby 456

  They are doing this in all countries as I understand.

  Something similar is being done in Oz, although we aren't aware

  of outside involvement but the congregations involved have been

  asked to put on a bit of a gig to show the international bros

  what " Aussies are all about". Congs are being asked to host either 56

  or 112 delegates for a day including fs, meals in bros homes culminating

  in a congregation "get together".

  The day will commence 1 pm and run till around 9 pm.

  This has been handled separate to any local needs,,,, we still cop the 'do more' talks.

  Edit ,,,what happened to the post about doing auditions etc in the UK////
