  144000....DO THE NUMBERS ADD UP?????

  by chuckyy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as jws we were told only 144000 go to heaven from the time of christ right up to this day.it dawned on me before i was baptized one day during my study that the numbers dont add up.

  the brother was telling me that the roman persecutions of the christians were killing thousands every week.

  initially, within weeks of jesus death, there were 5000 christians at least in jerusalem.

  The Unkindest Cut: Hateful Words from JWs that Show Their True Colours

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i decided to start this topic when ozziepost shared the experience of a bethel representative telling him and mrs. ozzie "and don't forget, we've got your children!

  it's important for us to hear these experiences and to share them with each other.

  it helps us tear down the mistaken beliefs that the incidents that happen to us are not isolated ones, but are in fact par for the course when one parts ways with the jws and wts.

  The unkindest thing that happened to me was at the death of my father. I had been df'd for

  eight years. My father died in 1988, the C.O. conducted the funeral and he said little to

  comfort the family but spent the whole time talking about the prodigal son directed at me.

  Non J.W. friends of mine were so upset they wanted to punch him out. That was probably

  the worst witness he ever gave. Non of my fathers family were dubs.

  Did you criticise/expose the WTS after leaving?

  after leaving the jws as df/ed or disass/ed were you willing to expose them for what they are to others, or were you unwilling to do so because you still felt respect for them for being the "truth"?

  I tell everyone who is interested how they divide families. Since I was df'd many years ago I

  have joined another church. The people cannot believe how my siblings and children shun me

  from leaving the J.W's They comment that it not a very loving organization. My parents died

  shunning me. What a cult.

  UBM strategies: Befriend the KH outcasts

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the spirit of jgnat's strategies, and her "making friends" post:.

  i have noticed that the kh has a heirarchy.

  there are the elders families, and young couples that everyone wants to do things with because they have all these things in common.

  I cannot believe they used John 6:11-13 in that context. That borders on evil, like evil slave class.

  it left me rolling my eyes

  SERVICE REPORT 2005 : WATCHTOWER FEB 1ST 2006

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have had a quick look and found no references to this, so - here goes..as in the mag we picked up on sunday.. worldwide % increase over 2004 = 1.3%.

  memorial partakers 8524 (compared to 8570 in 2004).

  most european and nth american lands show pretty static figs - britain 1% increase, canada 0%, germany 0%, france 1%, usa 0%... but spare a thought for the inhabitants of zambia where 1 person in 90 is a reporting witness, must be hell going down to the local market!
