  Will the Society come up with new prophecy to cover the lack of growth now?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was following mary's thread on the wt study of the annual report - what a hoot!.

  in follow-up; for years we have heard that the org's growth was 'proof' of the 'truth'.

  do you think the org will come up with some obsure scriptural/prophetic understanding to explain the reduced zeal for the 'kingdom' now?

  1 John 4:1

  by mjl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  went to the meeting this morning and stayed for the talk.

  the speaker used a text that i thought was very ironic, 1 john 4:1 which reads " beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they origanate with god, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

  " i found this ironic becuase we were trained not to test anything in the publications and never question what we hear from the platform.

  You know you're a JW when....

  by Preston in

  1. social
  2. humour

  you know that d.c. isn?t the capital where the president of the united states lives .

  a pioneer isn?t an 1800?s historical figure who traveled the west.

  the majority of books in your parent?s bookshelf have years on them.

  Where are you on the map? New Maps

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok there are so many americans on the map now i had to split you all in half.. valis was kind enough to let me place the maps on his website until i found a new home for them.. photobucket seems to be a good option - at least for now.

  so i have uploaded the new maps which have been updated to include everyone who has asked.. so if you were wondering where we are from.

  or how close you are to other jwd posters in your area just take a look.
