26United States baptism stats 1969-2015
by the comet inwhenever the new yearbooks come out, we all look at the figures and see the publisher increase never really matches up with the baptism figures.
it never should match up as all newly baptized ones are already publishers, and may have been for many years.
i, as an example, became an unbaptized publisher at age 11. i didn't get baptized until i was 17. .

Evolution is a Fact #3 - ERVs
by cofty inpart 1 - protein functional redundancy.... part 2 - dna functional redundancy.... imagine you are teacher with suspicions that some of your pupils have been copying from each other.
comparing the correct answers in all of their assignments might not provide conclusive evidence.
they could simply claim they had all carefully revised the same textbooks so it shouldn't be surprising that they all gave the same answers.

Umbertoecho here.
by umbertoecho inhello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.
helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.
i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

Thanks for sharing this with us, for giving yourself permission to speak up, for having the courage to execute your plan and for giving voice to the thousands of children sexually abused by Jehovahs Witnesses.
Thank you.

Should doctors tell JW patients that there is disagreement about Watchtower's blood policy.
by Lee Elder inthis has been a controversial issue among doctors and medical ethicists.
i think it basically comes down to the fact that physicians have a responsibility to establish the presence of informed consent.
is it really possible for a person to give informed consent if they are not accurately informed?.

It's not a question of belief. It's a question of what is the most reasonable, natural and simplest understanding of all the scriptures within their context.
Cofty made his argument and you failed to overturn it. So please don't rewrite history on another thread.

Your post that you refer to above and your premise was debunked
no it wasn't - what actually happened was you got your ass handed to you.

Ever wondered which country in the JW Annual Report is most likely to reflect overall decline/progress of the WTS?
by besty ina bit of spreadsheet fun - trying to ascertain which country is the bellwether for the wts.. my methodology was as follows:.
take the individual ar's from 2010 - 2016 and calculate an accurate (.00) ave pub increase/decrease for each country.
sort the countries into descending order by this value with the grand total row included in the mix.. assign the countries 5 places above and 5 places below the grand total 1 point.

also this is just based on 2015 - would be better if all available years could be modelled to show trends over time -

Money Grab started in India
by cognitivedizzy ini don't know how the fellow who made the resolution from stage to send 80% of the congregation funds to the indian branch as an outright donation made it with a straight face.
and all the sheeples nodded like they understood the shit he were spewing.
i'm so mad at this cult .
