  "That one must go on increasing, but I must go on decreasing." - John 3:30

  The WT says that the number of the anointed should go down and the number of the "great crowd" should go up. Here's one quote:

  *** w97 1/1 pp. 10-11 Let All Glorify Jehovah! ***In 1935, at a landmark convention in Washington, D.C., U.S.A., it was made known that the "great crowd" of Revelation 7:9-17 was a group to be recognized "after" the 144,000 and whose destiny is everlasting life in a paradise earth. After clearly identifying the anointed Jesus, John the Baptizer, whose resurrection will be on earth as one of the "other sheep," said of Messiah: "That one must go on increasing, but I must go on decreasing." (John 1:29; 3:30; 10:16; Matthew 11:11) John the Baptizer’s work of preparing disciples for Messiah was ending as Jesus then took over the selection of an increasing number who would be among the 144,000. In the 1930’s the reverse took place. A decreasing number were "called and chosen" to be among the 144,000 whereas a tremendous increase began in the number of the "great crowd" of "other sheep." This great crowd continues to multiply as the world’s wicked system nears its end at Armageddon.—Revelation 17:14b.

  Good point, Jourles!

  If you're looking for a straightforward way to show that the JW religion is a fraud, this is it!

  Publishers: 1.6% growth

  Partakers: 2.7% growth

  How come the number of partakers can increase, even surpassing publishers' growth? That's a total joke! Their official doctrine says publishers should increase and partakers should go down! To see the partakers growing stronger than publishers should alert any Witness of the emptiness of their leaders' claims.

  Can this religion get any more silly?

  I must make a correction:

  I've found that the 1.9 figure for 2006 is the growth in the peak number of publishers.

  The actual growth for 2006 is 1.6%!

  My sources got the other numbers right, but now I see they miscalculated the increase. They compared 2005's peak with 2006's. The peak for 2005 was 6,613,829. For 2006, it was 6,741,444. So it was a 1.9% growth. But the number that has any real validity is the average number of publishers: in this case, the percentage is 1.6, the number found in the official report. This number is exactly within the margin I though it would be.

  Too bad for them. They can't score like they used to. Their decline is undoubtly confirmed.

  .....another Watchtower contradiction.

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  far be it from the jehovah's witnesses to talk out of both sides of their mouth.. far be it from jehovah's witnesses to doublespeak.. below is a perfect example of how gods chosen channel of truth has evidently forgotten what they previously stated in the "watchtower" which is their gods own publication for dispensing bible based truths to mankind.. .

  "at times explanations given by jehovah's visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view.

  but this has not actually been the case.

  Eduardo,

  gumby's post has cited the WTS talking about two different things...supposed (new light) progression in the tacking instance and a person's dedication to keeping a Christian life course..in the second...two entirely different things...

  its just silly to take two unrelated things and call it a contradiction simply because the analogies describe entirely different things on the surface...

  No, they are not two "entirely different things". Gumby's observation is perfect. They're speaking with both sides of their mouth because the individual path of the Christian cannot contradict the "new light" progression of the organization. According to WT doctrine, one will reflect the other. If the individual must rely on the organization for guidance and the organization "zigzags", his path will follow accordingly.

  Moreover, it's the WT itself that conflates the individual and the organizational paths by their application of Proverbs 4:18: " The path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established." They take the same scripture and apply to both the individual and the organization.

  *** w97 9/1 p. 32 A Lamp to Guide You on Life’s Path ***
  
  Those who undertake a study of God’s Word, the Holy Bible, and apply what it says will be like someone who starts a journey early in the morning. At first, he cannot see much because it is dark. But as the sun begins to rise, he sees more and more. Finally, the sun shines directly overhead. He sees everything in clear detail. Such an illustration calls to mind a Bible proverb: "The path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established."—Proverbs 4:18.

  *** w65 7/15 p. 428 Jehovah’s Advancing Organization ***

  18

  With the passing of the years in this twentieth century, Jehovah’s organization has advanced in knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures and of its responsibilities before God. As with God’s organization in the past, so today, it fulfills the words written at Proverbs 4:18: "The path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established."

  No, JWs shouldn't use perfume. It's all Bible-based™:

  (Isaiah 3:16-23) 16 And Jehovah says: "For the reason that the daughters of Zion have become haughty and they walk with their throats stretched forth and ogling with their eyes, they go walking with tripping steps, and with their feet they make a tinkling sound, 17 Jehovah also will actually make the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion scabby, and Jehovah himself will lay their very forehead bare. 18 In that day Jehovah will take away the beauty of the bangles and the headbands and the moon-shaped ornaments, 19 the eardrops and the bracelets and the veils, 20 the headdresses and the step chains and the breastbands and the ‘houses of the soul’ [NWT footnote: probably perfume receptacles] and the ornamental humming shells, 21 the finger rings and the nose rings, 22 the robes of state and the overtunics and the cloaks and the purses, 23 and the hand mirrors and the undergarments and the turbans and the large veils. 24 And it must occur that instead of balsam oil there will come to be merely a musty smell.
