Taking predictions for the 2007 memorial partakers!!
by cultswatter in

2. beliefs
i'm doing this well in advance so that all the wonderful people on jwd can look back later and see just how close they were to the actual number!

(it is possible the wts might stop publishing the partaker numbers) in a few days, i will duly record the link to this thread for future reference.. remember that there were 8524 partakers in 2005 and 8758 partakers in 2006, an increase of 234 partakers.

so how many remnant will partake in 2007??.

my mom passed away yesterday.

she was a die-hard jw.

i tried to explain why i couldn't accept certain teachings but rather than rationally consider what i had to say she chose to believe i was just "confused".

i've been out for about 4 years and for the first time i've been able to find a place that understands how hard it was for me to get to where i am today after being raised a jw.

i feel like all of you can relate to having to start a new life from scratch after years of living a completely different one.

so, thanks..

Does this amaze you or am I the only one????
by avidbiblereader in
1. jw
2. friends
i will try to make this brief but how can you abbreviate love and kindness?

this is truly amazing!!!!

as many you have seen i ran into a small glitch on the forum the last couple of threads, without going into detail and really not necessary as there have been plenty of comments and views on both threads, i was willing to walk away from the forum because this is my nature as paul said in .

1. jw
2. friends
the megamillions in new jersey (where i work) and other states is up to u.s.$260,000,000.

i can't remember the reason why as a jw i was told it was wrong to participate in the lottery, bingo and other such games.
