  • The Greater Number Cooling Off
    2025/01/11

    Adam and Louise discuss the figures in the 2024 Yearbook and what the trends show. There are some very interesting facts about the numbers of kingdom halls reducing, and the numbers pioneers in some countries, and how effective they are.

    Adam highlights how much of the worlds population lives in countries where Jehovah's Witnesses are banned and how this counters the narrative that every person will have a chance to convert before Armageddon.

    Adam has a little gem of information from the latest letter to congregations, that might have a huge implication for a future discussion around child labour, Child Labour laws and modern slavery as defined by the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

    We reference Paul Grundy's website, https://jwfacts.com/ and also https://avoidjw.org/ where you can get past issues of the Yearbook that are no longer available on the official JW website.

  • What to do About Christmas
    2024/12/21

    Louise and Adam discuss how difficult navigating Christmas is when you are questioning, leaving or have just left Jehovah's Witnesses. They have some suggestions for navigating the guilt and awkwardness, picking and choosing the bits you like or doing something completely different. Adam reviews the history of Christmas within the Jehovah's Witnesses and how the doctrine has changed over time. We also find out what Adam did with his Advent Cheese.

    Adam discusses a recent Letter to Congregations regarding defibrillators.
