They give out 550,000 invitations, but only 6,400 attend.
How many of them were there because they got an invitation?
One JW says he invited 20 people. I wonder how many turned up.

people who want others to know about god and the bible.

i was just reading a thread on this forum called saviors of the world?.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/136105/1.ashx.
that thread discussed similarities between the various saviors, or messiahs that are said to have walked the earth, most of them appearing long before jesus supposedly emerged.
Interesting after 2,000 years you still can't decide whether Jesus existed or not.
there seems to be now a lot of reports of jw's actually speaking to those of us who have left.
even to df'd and da'd ones.
i had a mail today from da'd jw saying he was in pc world when he saw a jw from his old congregation one who had ignored him times before.
They look at me and see the beard, the ponytail, the pierced ear, the personal artillery, and the proliferation of 'in your face' patriotic pins or t shirts and I know how hard it is for them to bite their tongues, but they do it.
Seeing you like that across the table from me, I'd be frightened to say anything as well.

I don't know which is worse.
Them actually acknowledging me and saying hello.
Or ignoring me altogether.
in a critique of 'captives of a concept', robert king accuses anyone who can't get past all of the watchtower society's 'obstacles' as animalistic and lacking spirituality, including don cameron and ray franz.
it's mindblowing how this bloke can consistently call the watchtower leaders liars, blind, false prophets, dishing up vomitous things, etc, yet continue to preach that they are still a 'faithful steward' uniquely appointed by christ.
so, while it is true that jehovahs witnesses have not come to know the judgment of jehovah, cameron is similarly captive to a concept; and hence, ignorant of jehovahs judgment.
I don't know why but when I've read E-Watchman
He always reminds me of Joseph Rutherford.
I feel anytime now he is going to set up a break away JW sect.

I had a mail today from DA'd JW saying he was in PC World when he saw a JW from his old congregation one who had ignored him times before. Before he knew it the person waved to him and said hello and chatted for about 10 minutes. He said he was that shocked by being spoken to that he just didn't know what to say.
A lady exJW said she gets waved to by JW's while out, ones who before wouldn't do so.
Over the last couple of months I've had other similar mails.
I have even run into JW's while out at the pub. Last week I saw two brothers across the bar , they gave me a nod and little wave.
Its all starting to unnerve me. Is this some kind of campaign to get us back?
Has the WT issued secret orders to not treat us DA'd and DF'd ones so badly, because of all the publicity lately?
Or are individual JW's thinking "I'm going to wave, talk to that person. Whether its wrong or not."
while reading richard dawkins' book "the god delusion," he talked about jephthah's sacrificial slaughter of his own daughter.
i was utterly shocked.
after all, "my book of bible stories" taught me that he sent her away to jehovah's service, like a nun or something.
Isn't it funny that something debated about for years and years by many Bible scholars.
Someone always "suddenly" discovers as if it was never known before.
the gene swarm is a very broad subject in itself, it probably can be called an entity by human ape language it all depends on your point of view (if narrow or broad).
we human apes are but a very small part of this entity, and government even smaller part of it and far more temporary, than the human apes..
It was a scientist,
And I didn't mishear in fact it made me pay more attention. But they went onto bone structure etc.
I thought at time "This is new, wonder what makes them think that.?"
heard a rumour that the society is working on an 'anti-apostate' software programme for jw's to purchase thru the congregation and instal on their home pc's to block access to apostate websites.
it will be based on standard anti-porn software and on the 500 most commonly used words on apostate websites.
(sucker)
The most commonly used words on apostate sites are "Jehovahs Witnesses"
You only have to put that into Google and you get thousands of references to apostate sites.
So unless they also want to ban the words "Jehovahs Witnesses" also. They will find it very hard to do.

While idlely watching one of those programmes on the Discovery Channel. Think it was dealing with finding some bones or whatever, the usual thing.
The scientist they were speaking to said something along the lines.
"We no longer think that humans descended from apes. Humans are a separate species from the ape. Any similarity in the genes we think can be put down to an early human mating with an ape."
Is this the first case of bestiality?
