Hi Jon,
Welcome to the JWD. Never in the KH in Perth, but I have visited your wonderful city. Went wine tasting on the Swan River.

hi - looks like an interesting place!.
i was in the jw's till about 1999 in perth.
i sort of thought the advice "never complain and never explain" was appropriate, so i just stopped going to the kh!

as an active witness how would you have responded to the following question, if asked when you knock on someones door?.
how do you explain that since 1986 there has been less than 5% decrease in the annointed class?
To all, Thank you.
It does seem like this question would give much for a Witness to think about other than the initial shock of being asked. It is not something that would make them question the WTBTS after they leave the door.
Happy New Year,

Nina and Danny,
Thanks for your quick responses. I was never a Witness, so your responses are helpful. I have been toying with the idea of asking this question, especially at this time of the year when the new figures are coming out.

put aside all of the 607 b.c.e., there is another question that i'm not familiar with and mabyee some of you know what there explanation is, or if they don't even address the issue.
we are all familiar with the account in daniel chapter five, and nebuchadnezzars dream about the tree.
daniels explanation of this dream begins: .
The WTBTS is very slick at moving from a quick comment to using it as truth.
I always thought it was strange how they say that nothing significant happened at the time of Nebuchadnezzar, so their for this is the bases for the 1914 date and their authority.
i have been trying to become a member of this site for weeks!
i started "lurking" soon after andersoninfo's big news.
i couldn't believe my timing!
Welcome looking for truth, hope to hear about your experiences in future posts.
my family and i stopped being active witnesses some 3 and a half years ago.
we did the fade thing, thus we are neither das nor df.
before we stopped, i served as an elder.
There was no hint that perhaps your sister is falling away also?
What ever it is good that you both can still love one another.
judas thomas is known to the world as jesus brother.
most all bible scholars have no problem with this, what is of interest to me is a matter of controversy the translation of didymos used before his name in the greek manuscripts didymos literally translates into english as twin.
if you take the bible as the true gospel of gods hand then jesus had a twin brother.
I can show you just as many post here is one for exsample. ; http://www.rense.com/general66/hide.htm ;What you have to ask yourself does the person have something he is trying to protect? One must be completly open mind with no bias.
They may be protecting or they may be trying to prove something for their own self gain. Most of the posters here are fimiliar with WTBS quoting and/or misrepresenting references for their self gain.
i can't stand it i got to post.
the grand canyon actually disprove creationist because granit rock is the toughest of rocks found on earth.

You did not mention the effect earthquakes played in the making of the Grand Canyon.
