  Latest JW.org Statistics Are Confusing & Lack Context

  by steve2 in

  earlier this week a new post on this forum announced that the 2017 worldwide annual service report was available on jw.org.

  wow - that's earlier than the statistics for the 2016 service year which appeared in the 2017 yearbook last january!

  good effort, jw organization!

  It is "marketing and advertising 101"

  Simply highlight the one or two points that look good, and hide the 100 other glaring faults!

  Just like a used car salesman does: "This lovely classic car has a unique patina finish that highlights it's characterful active life" (= "it has a rusty finish")

  Or "This is the best car! I can assure you of that!" = ("it is the only car we have for sale at the moment, hence it is the best")

  The Society will do this selective highlighting from now on. AND the gullible brain-dead JWs will eat it up!

  Why do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe everything will be Hunky Dory after Armageddon ? I have news for them.

  by smiddy3 in

  they seem to think that all they will do is enjoy a carefree life with little or no concerns problems or worries whereas nothing could be further from the truth... according to the bible.. without trying to speculate on these concerns or problems during this one thousand year reign of christ jesus ,lets hear what the bible has to say about the end of his thousand year reign.. rev.20:7-10 satan is to be let out of his prison {as if he hasn`t done enough damage in 6000 years of roaming about in the earth at the same time fraternizing with jesus and jehovah in heaven} i digress.. and the reason he is let out of prison ,lo and behold ,is to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth gog and magog to gather them together for the war.

  { here we go again ,armageddon didn`t solve anything we have to go through another one.

  } 1000 years later.. now get this it`s not just some isolated little skirmish with a few hundred or even a few thousand dissenters ,as the bible states they number the sands of the seashore and they advanced over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp {not a nation but a camp} of the holy ones.and the beloved city.. with that description it would seem the holy ones are in the minority and the opposes apparently were spread over all the earth.. so that description of the bible to me about jc 1000 rule does not appear to be one of living in a paradise , that is not on the agenda until after jesus christ 1000 year reign and only if you are lucky enough to survive another test/war of your loyalty after all you have gone through previously.. i wonder if this realization is one of the reasons why so many now are claiming to be of the anointed because as one of the other sheep you have to pass another test after the 1000 years of christ jesus rule whereas of one of the anointed on death now you go straight to heaven ..

  The whole concept and theology of the "1000 year reign" and subsequent test by Satanic hordes is simply laughable!

  I mean, come on Jehovah, haven't humans jumped through enough hoops throughout mankinds history already? Haven't you allowed enough crap to occur? Oh no, of course not! Now let's once again cause them distress 1000 years into "perfection and paradise!"

  Its almost like you just enjoy constantly niggling at these humans of yours! Like picking at a scab, just to see if it will get infected again!?

  my (very fake) name is gabriel syme or gabe for short.

  i have been lurking in the shadows for many years and i want to give all here a heartfelt thank you for all your indirect support.

  this website, as well as youtube, and eventually reddit, were all key in me finally accepting the “truth” being not that at all.

  "We never solicit donations" - really?

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  inspired by this weeks clam article which again "reminds" the brothers pdf their obligation/privilege to donate "voluntarily" i have complied a list of articles or videos in the last 5 years where donations are indeed solicited or encouraged.

  the society may argue that these are not actual solicitations because no plate was passed around.

  but a donation box is just a more discrete and subtle version of the plate.

  The very first WT said that "we will never beg nor solicit for funds....if the Almighty stops bringing in the funds, we will know his blessing is not on the work" (paraphrased)

  Funny how they have consistently begged and solicited for funds though...AND the "Almighty" has still NOT brought in enough funds! Hmmm....

  Do they officially give marking talks without telling the one marked?

  by Wakanda in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my pimi (physically in, mentally in) friend believes she was marked without them telling her.

  i believe her, and she has been making work for the elders.

  she is a pain in their arse, and they are a pain in hers, which is great.

  I quoted that scripture at Matt 18:15 to the coordinater when accused of "being on apostate sites" by a former employee. I said she should have come to me first to discuss it.

  The elder snapped back at me "IT DOESNT APPLY FOR CASES OF APOSTASY!"

  right.... ok then...

  Yes!

  I was told they did it about me. To the point where it was painfully obvious who they were speaking about.

  I am still contemplating making good on my threats of legal action for "maligning and slandering my name and reputation"

  jp1692, I guess ttdtt simply means to google the quotes used in JW articles to find the originals

  That's what I did with the now famous Ramah Singh quote!

  I found his correct quote, and saw that the awake article used it out of context.

  That was one of the straws that broke the camels back!
