I believe the numbers given, Families before our baby boom generation had between 8 to 13 children (not to mention the 2 to 4 dead before age 2)
Multiply those for all those 6,000+ years. If was not for war and famine today we would be 100bil + !
jw doctrine teaches that the 1,000 years of christ corresponds to "judgment day," and everyone who has not already been judged will be resurrected from the dead.
the exceptions would be those who died during the flood, the destruction of sodom and gomorrah, and a few odd individuals.
but that's only the people living today.

on another thread i posted the "titles" of some awake!
articles.
i thought it might be neat to allow others to add to the fun.
"Good uses for roadkill"
"What to do when your loved one takes away your kids"
"Why does god permit conjoined twins to be born"
"How to protect yourself from nosy neighbors"
"young people ask "should I leave my parents when they stop going to meetings?""
watchtower chronology suffers from weak logical links.
after all, they start with an unproven premise and begin linking and linking and linking and suddenly they produce the rabbit out of the hat.
1914 is the rabbit .
Can somebody out there tell me when a day=day
when a day=1 year
when a day = 1000 years
and the diffrence of when a day = 7000 years?
What prophet can come up to the plate to guarantee when each one should be interpreted as such?
so dubbies.......do you really believe your dedication is to jehovah .....or to the society?.
...the witnesses are dedicated to god not to any legal agency.... .
...the legal corporation and "the faithful and discreet slave" are not interchangeable terms.
Put your faith in EVERYTHING that is said by WT, but when you have followed
something proved wrong or contradicted by "new light" it IS YOUR FAULT
i have posted this under ?scandals?
because i think it demonstrates the slick cover up over failed jw teachings.
read closely to see the wt actually blames the r&f for failed prophecies: .
If ignorance of Jehovah's destruction is bliss (once you know whats right and you do wrong you are wicked)
Then are we not doing the Earths population a disservice by preaching and condemning them to death?
if we are to believe scripture, jehovah has been performing one long striptease over the centuries.
his plan has hidden parts we all long to see.
little by little he has dropped a shoulder strap and flashed a peek with the cat and mouse of prophecy.
Got me, unlike what the Watchtower says (the bible agrees with itself and fullfills itself) the bible
is one big contradiction after another. and just like any modern society the ruled are diffrent for
the rich than the poor!
Example (rules of man -vs- women)
example (rules for rich (david, solomon) and poor (man who stole from the city being destroyed))
many more examples to even mention!

watchtower bible & tract society of new york.
25 columbia heights, brooklyn, 11201.
revenue: $951 million.
Like I said before, I live within 60 miles of Brooklyn and nobody from KH or society helped ME, nor my 70+ year old mom!
I also heard that a KH in Maywood, NJ back then stayed closed for close to a year due to Floyd
I also heard news that a KH in GLendale, NY is closed for 2 years due to mold! Where's the WT to help the locals?
my dad is an elder.
he is one of the most level headed compassionte men you will ever meet.
even though he never received a college education he was kind and understanding.
--> Family Feud: "And the survey says"! ----- Printery misc mumbo jumbo ----
Since many old time elders have been in the big Brooklyn, we know they have experience in this
has it happened in your congregation?
an elder is going to be late, stuck in traffic or lost, and dosen't show up at all!.
according to the society's guidelines, ( yes!
In my congregation most of the time we do the WT first, and someone is asked to do the talk.
Once a big shot elder di the WT study in 1 1/2 hours (a substitute was practicing his talk in the side room) and he said after
the study that when he was in rome, it was suggested that insted of doing a so-so talk it is better to enjoy a spiritually upbuilding WT tudy!
