Don't you think that some people are just better off within the org?
by paradiseseeker inthis is my first post, i will introduce myself later.
first of all, i must say that english is not my mother tongue (i'm spanish), so excuse me if i make any mistake.. do you think that some people simply can't cope with being outside the jws?
some of them are too worldlyphobic to be around non-jws, too dependent on a fixed set of rules in order to carry on with their lives, too dependent on the hope of paradise and resurrection, too unable to leave their personal comfort zone within the organization.

My suggestion is to use a formula incorporating the change by country in the 2016 - 2017 Peak Pubs to use in guesstimating the change in 2016 - 2017 Avg Pubs.

Forget the Christian Doom and Gloom Messages - Does the evidence show the humans are better or worse off?
by fulltimestudent inwhat does the evidence show?.
"...two distinguished scholars have tried to introduce a little reality into the debate about the world's trajectory.
swedish intellectual johan norberg and harvard university's steven pinker provide a persuasive antidote to the apocalyptical school of journalism.

Billions die because fruit was eaten. Please think about this.
by pleaseresearch incounties once at war with one another can forgive and move on.
even horrible murderers who killed the family members of someone can be forgiven for the act that they did.. but god, no no no.
no such thing can happen.

Choice given to Adam.
Do not be independent - or I will kill you, but it's your "choice."
Same "choice" in Deut. 30. Worship me or I will kill you. But it's your "choice."
