Chart today at station square @ Netherlands city
by Gorbatchov intoday i searched and found the jw chart at the station square just across the corner of my work hq, were i had an appointment.
this time they were not located at the central square, but hiding just arround a corner.
i looked the jw's in the eye, a man and his wife, +/- 50 years old, and they looked very depressed, down and quilty.

Most JWs will simply see it as fake news and persecution of their religion. There will however be some who take it seriously and look into it further, and hopefully they will make their exit from the cult. -

Yearly world population growth is 83 million.Watchtower growth is around 100,000. So every day that Jehooba puts off destroying people, he has to destroy an extra 82,900,000.

If you speak against the Governing Body you will be punished.
by punkofnice inthis was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.
somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.
the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

Its really nothing new. Often the criteria in a judicial hearing are the questions 'Do you accept the governing body are the faithful and discreet slave that Jesus spoke about, and do you believe God is using them as his channel to dispense spiritual food' If the answer is no then you are out. Nothing else matters.

Magnum, I see that article was written 38 years ago. I believe they can no longer say that animals will not be predators in the ''new earth''
There is such overwhelming evidence that most animals have the body and mindset to kill other animals for food.
Would be interesting to see an article from them on this subject in 2020

Ever notice a lot of JWs don't have pets?
by JimmyYoung ini was told by several elders to not get a dog when i was looking for one in the 80s.
the end was close and we needed to focus on the preaching work.
i know some have pets but a lot don't.

Interesting stats about Scotland. However how does anyone know the actual figures from Scotland. They are part of the United Kingdom so the figures come under the title of Britain.

Thanks Corney for doing that.
Did you notice that Macedonia seems to have disappeared?
Also the report shows each countries increase. But is that peak publisher increase or average publisher increase?
Remembering that last year they didnt show the average publishers by country. I tried checking the peak publishers figures, but it doesnt work out to what they say the increase is. Any thoughts?

Personally I think the figures published are truthful. Remember every branch sends in the figures to head office, so if the published figures were regularly different to what had been sent in, a lot of rank and file witnesses at the branch would know about it. Many of the figures are showing a negative amount. It is happening where we would expect it to happen, namely in internet savvy countries. Also it makes sense that poorer less educated people with limited access to the net will still be growing. That is what is happening.

Iwantoutnow,
Its true the JWs can barely get an increase above the population rate, but actually they are still attracting people to get baptised. It was the highest for a long time this year. However their, big,big problem is they cant keep those people. So the result is, many come in threw the front door, but nearly the same amount leave by the back door. This is why they have just a 1.3% increase this year.
