nor for any other serious recognition ....

just received this on a very excited note from someone who is pimi.this is how some people start their year 2019.. very happy to say that the year 2019 marks for us 100 years out of darkness from babylon the great!.

additionally, it marks the 105th year of christ's rule in heaven (1914 a.d.), 2,021st year since jesus was born on earth (2 b.c.e.

), 4,391st year since the deluge (2370 b.c.e.

lets just say that 2019 marks another year in which 8 million people are wasting their lives for some kings in the US that managed to only receive and never give.

pffff.

2018 Closes With an Islamist Terror Attack in Manchester

by cofty in

three victims, including a policeman are in hospital with serious knife injuries after a frenzied attack on new year's eve.. the suspect is a somalian immigrant - according to a bbc reporter who happened to witness the incident he was shouting allah as he knifed his victims.. the conduct of the british transport police officer was outstanding.. bbc report.... a woman in a hijab was pictured assisting the victims.

here in one image we have the dilemma of islam.. .

This is the problem with extremists. This thing happens now via the Islam but Catholics and Protestants also have a reputation. Every religion where soft or strong hatred is preached will generate these individuals. In all fairness, JW's do not take up literal weapons but verbal and behavioral weapons (shunning, silencing..). If the leaders of the WT would preach a harsher message, I am sure that among the 8 million JW's a few will standup and use violence.

I do not like Islam but refuse to generalize. Of the 800 million or so Muslims, most are normal people with their own traditions and practices, not harming anyone. It is the few (out of 800 million it is still a lot) that have become "executioners" of their god.

Ok, for fun I asked a question on here: Replies to your comment on "An Earthly Paradise Soon to Come!"'s post on facebook.

I simply asked where I can find the concept of a paradise earth in the NT. The responses so far only referring to a JW publication. Well...not giving up yet.

2018 Service Year Report - Released on jw.org

by Drearyweather in

2018 service year report of jehovah’s witnesses worldwide.

see details of the global preaching work of jehovah’s witnesses from september 2017 to august 2018.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/2018-service-year-report/.

average publishers preaching each month: 8,360,594 (2017 - 8,248,982).

menrov

Numbers published by the WT do not say anything. Part could be true and another part false. Very common for organizations that depend on the perception among its members of how great their organization is. Even if there are only 10 congregations left with 5 members, the WT will publish it in such a way that it seems positive.

The only figures I would be interested in are the financials. The WT will never publish those so have to wait for "Satan's" world to do that one day.....

by Jxvi in

a little back story.

i have been working so hard to build my faith this year, and i am finally at the point where i am beginning to trust god and i want to build an unbreakable relationship with him.

What's The Point?

by AllTimeJeff in

jw
friends

it's been 12 years since i submitted my resignation letter, and stopped playing by their rules.. in a spurt of manic rationality, i blew up the bridge, sky high.

knowing that the diseased organ would need to be forever removed, away from anything remotely functional in my mind, body, and soul.

lest i be tempted to return.... so, i left.

The challenge is when one in a couple is leaving the WT. It really generates a virtual break
