Probably not as bad as the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses wish I had been. Nor as bad as they themselves may very well one day be harmed by the Judge of all the universe because of their unscriptural teachings and practices.

Cognitive dissonance would compel them to believe it was just a bad dream and the alarm will go off in a few minutes.

Better do be a DA'd apostate than a person who is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses. At least the dub rumor mill has less options for slanderous gossip when you DA yourself after discussing the apostate Governing Body's actions with the congregation.
I wish peace and security to the happy couple.

The 2004 Statistics -
by AK - Jeff ini know i saw a thread on this but can't find it - sorry.. i counted 63 countries with 0% or negative growth reported.
that is fully 26.8% of all countries in the report.
there could be more since 29 countries are listed in the 'other countries' line - some of those could be negative also, but they are all clumped and so impossible to know.. baptisms were 262,000. but growth was only about 124,000.

Thankyou Jean,
Am I giving enough due credit for the current statistics to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses? If not, I sincerely apologise to them individually and did not mean to deny them the fruits of love they display to all humankind.
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, functioning as spokesmen for the composite Faithful and Discreet Steward deserve all the honor for the path they are leading the Jehovah's Witnesses down. It is demeaning to them when we apostates categorically define the leadership as simply the WTBTS when, in reality, it should be authoritatively defined as the Governing Body.

Jehovah's Witnesses!!!
Look around your communities and see all the huge churches of Christendom with parking lots filled every Sunday with more vehicles than at your circuit assemblies. Look at the happy people and the courtesy they show to not only one another but also to everyone they come in contact with. Look at the missionary work performed by the churches of Christendom throughout the earth and the number baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit by them and compare those figures with the number baptised into the spirit directed WTBTS. Look at the inflated yearly figures of the WTBTS. Look at all the empty seats that used to be filled at your local KH. Look at the failed prophecies of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. Look at the bound volumes of the Watchtower and then examine closely the original magazines and see for yourself that the WTBTS has revised them as they see fit and then attempt to destroy or suppress the originals. Look at the many reversals regarding Blood Transfusions. Look at the evidence that the WTBTS signed an agreement with the Government of Bulgaria to allow Jehovah's Witnesses freedom to choose whether they want a blood transfusion or not with NO Sanctions to be taken against them by the WTBTS. Look at the statements by the WTBTS that the organisation did not agree to the documents they signed with Bulgaria. Look at the overwhelming evidence that the WTBTS joined the United Nations as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) and withheld that alliance from even the congregation elders for almost 10 years. Look at the Awake magazine production run cut from bimonthly to monthly. Look at the 40% of the world that this affects.
Now, ask yourselves, do the above observations prove that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses are God's exclusive channel of communication between Jesus Christ and mankind?
Is it any wonder that the increase that God promised through the prophet Isaiah would be evident in the last days is not being fulfilled by the WTBTS and its affiliated organisations?

What a mature and theocratic brother to make so much drivel seem so important and awe inspiring. I wonder how many of the faithful fainted out of sheer ecstasy during his presentation of that propaganda.

They told us to turn our backs on loved ones!
by paws ini would like to raise a subject that i bet all you long-time posties have already discussed:
when a person enters the org having already had a life outside it, he/she is told that family and friends must take a back seat.
further to that, some individuals will even 'council' you that total departure from those you love would be wise and indeed expected!

And the saddest part of all this is the GB of the WTBTS has the audacity to say they alone are the Voice of God. Hypocriticalbastardsiswhattheyare.

Just thinking (never did that as a dub) that I'm glad I told the losers that the WTBTS is an apostate tool of Satan and I reject its doctrines; remove me from your membership list immediately before they started this new wave of crap. I would much rather be known as an apostate than just no longer a JW.

How is the GB any different then Satan?
by kwintestal inthe reason satan ran into his problems with the j-man is because he made a god of himself.
hasn't the gb done the same thing by making themselves equal to god?.
