preach

there are more that are not reached than those that are and they do not use every possible means to reach people.

The quote in green from the 2010 Yearbook is enough to make me ponder suicide. "As long as Jehovah permits, we will continue to preach the Kingdom good news with zeal, usuing every possible means to reach people." First off, I'm convinced that I'm going to die in this system of things. Thats just how it is, so it goes. Secondly, they're using every possible means to reach people? Yeah, thats why nobody knows anything about JWs other than what they don't celebrate. Jackasses.

They're obsessed with numbers, aren't they? They couldn't resist a cheap shot at Christians who were on the scene before them, calling their preaching "on a limited scale" and for "only a brief time." They also mentioned that those groups before them "preached something about the Bible's message", I guess in harmony with the light getting brighter.

The "voluntary contributions" bit is classic too, as the chief financial supporter of the Watchtower is in fact the Jehovah's Witnesses that "volunteer" to distribute the "bible education literature."

The statistic they are most proud of is how many hours their zealots have wasted (1.6 billion) instead of how they have actually "used every possible means to reach people".

It's 2011 ... which retarded organization tells people they shouldn't use the Internet for christs sake?!?!

Every day that passes with no Armageddon, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of babies born who will never get a chance to hear the "good news" and will end up getting slaughtered.

Every day that Jehovah waits & doesn't bring Armageddon means thousands of lives born for no purpose other than to be snuffed out.

Every year means millions of more lives that will have to be destroyed.

Assuming that the JWs are right and Armageddon as they describe it will eventually come one day, of course.

*** w00 1/15 p. 13 par. 17 "Keep on the Watch" *** Fifth, we see a global preaching work being accomplished, which Jesus said would take place just before the end of this system. Jesus stated: "This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) Today, that prophecy is in the course of fulfillment on an unprecedented scale. True, untouched territories still exist, and it may be that in Jehovah’s due time, a large door leading to greater activity will open. (1 Corinthians 16:9) Nevertheless, the Bible does not state that Jehovah will wait until every individual on earth has received a personal witness. Rather, the good news must be preached to Jehovah’s satisfaction. Then the end will come.—Compare Matthew 10:23.

* ** w65 9/15 pp. 575-576 Questions From Readers ***

Since millions of persons in China and other places have never heard the Kingdom message, will these people be preserved through the destruction of Babylon the Great and the war of Armageddon, or perhaps be resurrected later?—H.S., U.S.A.

It is important to understand what the Bible says about the destruction to come at the end of this system of things. In his illustration of the sheep and the goats Jesus indicated that a separating work would be done "when the Son of man arrives in his glory," and that persons would be classed as either "sheep" or "goats." (Matt. 25:31-46) In part, the basis for the separation would be the reaction of people to the preaching of the good news of the established kingdom. That preaching work is now being done by Jehovah’s witnesses. Jesus explained that those on earth who favorably responded to that message and treated kindly its bearers would be classed as "sheep" and would enter into "everlasting life." The rest of mankind who did not respond favorably to the preaching work and offered no aid to those who carried the Kingdom message would be classed as "goats" and would go, not into a temporary death, but into "everlasting cutting-off" at the time when judgment is executed.

But some persons, appreciating that millions of people are to be resurrected and given an opportunity to serve God, wonder if the millions of individuals living today who apparently have never heard the Kingdom message preached will be everlastingly destroyed without ever having had a witness about God’s purposes. It is true that at present it appears that there are vast numbers of mankind who have not heard the Kingdom preaching. Also, from what the Bible says and from conditions in the world, we know that we are in the "last days." But we do not know just how much more will be accomplished in preaching the Kingdom message before the end comes. (2 Tim. 3:1-5; Matt. 24:3-13) If at the end of the second world war someone had said that the Kingdom preaching would be carried out, by more than a million publishers, in over 190 lands, including communistic countries, many might have found that hard to believe. Yet, Jehovah has blessed his people, and that is exactly what is being accomplished. So, if it is Jehovah’s will to have this message personally carried to the millions on earth who seemingly have not yet heard it, that will be accomplished. If he chooses, he could see to it that this message is spread in ways that we cannot yet imagine. Jesus did foretell that "this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." (Matt. 24:14) We can rest assured that God will see that the preaching work is done to his satisfaction. After that "the end" comes.

Then those who correspond with "goats," whether in China or elsewhere, will be pronounced "cursed" and will not be permitted to survive that "end" into God’s new order of things. Since these go into symbolic "fire" (like the Devil and his angels), their punishment will be everlasting. They will never be resurrected.—Matt. 25:41-46.

"Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."—Ps. 37:10, 11.

I know what you mean misery. It's depressing. And it seems that no JW investigates these claims. No one stops and thinks, "Are they using every method available?" or "Why is their literature distributed with only donations being asked for? Could it because of their desire to avoid paying tax? Especially after the early 90's Swagert case?"

But these comments will be pupetted by all the JWs. They don't think, they just repeat what is told to them. Today my FIL told my MIL, "As long as we are in step with Jehovah's organization, we don't need to know why we believe what we do. If we believe them and stay loyal and obedient to God's channel, then we can hope to be saved."

What a load of crock. The Boreans didn't even believe an APOSTLE when he gave them the good news. They went and made sure that the scriptures really did testify to what he was saying. How much more so then should we NOT just take some men from Brooklyns word for what to believe? It's sick.

Notice the self adulation in this article. "The Witnesses have perservered in their preaching work despite severe opposition from some of the most powerful and ruthless organizations in human history." The asterisk highlights their DVD's where they pat themselves on the back in high definition and wide screen.

1.6 billion hours preaching in 236 lands, averaging 30 hours a day for the average Witness. All that and still nobody knows what the hell JWs believe other than what they don't celebrate. The only growth is a result of children born into the cancer, which reflects birth rates. Also growth comes from foreigners in other lands who are ignorant of the young white couple's intentions when they show up at their hut ten o-clock in the morning.
