  People criticize the rank of The WatchTower and Awake!

  people are not willing to accept the popularity of the watchtower and awake as these magazines belong to jw.

  a listing site has declared the watchtower the most popular magazine in the world.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.

  in comment section of this link people are abusing again jehovah's witnesses.

  That is because they are given away free of charge. The witnesses nearly every time do the donating, not the householder. Plus the vast majority of those magazines go straight in the bin. You can see how they are having no affect on most of the world as there is no increase in most western countries. Their increase last year was around the world population increase, so they are not growing now

  Yes smiddy, how can that spokesman talk about growth in the country. They have had no increase in Canada for the last two years. If they publish the figures that show that they are not growing there, how can anybody possibly say different to what the figures show. The article said As the church accommodates growth, some buildings are being renovated, others sold and some new ones built. Last year, 10 new halls were built in Canada with another nine planned for this year. Another 28 had or will have major renovations, Andersen wrote. He did not say how many were sold in Canada.

  This is how the Watchtower is making its money now. They sell Kingdom Halls and then build new ones with free labour. This is happening throughout the world and the jdubs are to brainwashed to realize it.

  just wait until this is done!

  excitedly awaiting the deaths of potentially millions, to get their log cabin by a lake and a tiger is reprehensible!

  disgusting!

  The virus has certainly made JWs think more about their doctrine of the grest tribulation. We can only hope that it will bring many to their senses that their teaching is not 1 million deaths but 7 billion in a mass slaughter by God.

  Lloyd Evens on the cedars channel was watching it live as it was streamed to people that had the link. Then halfway through it, Watchtower pulled the plug on his link. You can see his video here

  What a great question. Also mothers can get a free meal at some places on Mothers Day, another day that JWs dont celebrate.

  hi all.. i wanted to post this somewhere that all could see it.. here is a letter being circulated in melbourne australia area.. covid-19 announcement dear friends, the local body of elders have agreed on the following actions in relation to today’s announcement.

  theocratic events at this stage congregation meetings will continue to run as normal.

  no publisher should feel obligated to attend congregation meetings at this time if they feel concerned or anxious about doing so.

  Good point Smiddy3. They can make the bible back anything they say. Pretty easy considering how big a book the bible is.

  All circus assemblies have been cancelled for two months at this time.

  circus assemblies? haha

  Im not sure how anyone would know for sure, if she had it done. Obviously if she showwed them off at the Kingdom Hall she would be asking for trouble. But if she covers up as all good JW women should, then they really cant do or say much about it. There are women who have one breast larger than the other, and have surgery to balance them out.Others have other adjustments made. Nothing to do with anyone else.

  Lets hope other countries will follow the lead of Holland. It looks like the governing body are leaving it to local branches to decide what is possible and what is not regarding meetings and preaching.

  They just cant bring themselves to say, we will cancel the memorial this year. The memorial is meant to be all about the anointed ones sharing bread and wine, so why would anyone not sharing in that meal need to be there?
