  ISIS war sounds like a money scam

  ok, if you have been reading news reports, they are saying it will take years to defeat isis.

  maybe somebody can explain to me how that is so after considering what i've been led to believe are the facts.

  1. isis spreads and takes over cities and military camps by hording and overwhelming them.

  1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.

  3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

  4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).

  JW.org statistics and the decline in first world countries.

  cross posting from another thread.

  it seems that i might not be the only nerd here that's interested in statistics like this so maybe it deserves it's own topic.. so i was playing around with google.com/trends with some jw related search terms.

  i found the results a bit surprising, and certainly interesting, so i figured i'd share.. first off, the link to what i tried.. one of the most surprising things that stood out was the regional interest.

  I've noticed that the most JW.ORG hype (images, products) seems to be from third world countries.

  Will JW.ORG actually harm the WT Society Long Term ?

  by flipper in

  my son and i were discussing this yesterday over coffee.

  since the wt society in previous years virtually demonized going on the internet at all for jw's - now wt leaders are doing a complete turn around or about face probably so as to " compete " or keep up with all the anti-jw websites that are out there to give the wt society point of view.. however- it very well may backfire on them as once people start doing google searches looking for jw.org it will bring up all the other websites dealing with any jw issues and in the privacy of their own homes out of curiosity i'm sure lots of jw's are going to want to check out some of these sites to see what all the " apostate " hoopla is all about.

  i wonder how many jw's will do this and will it have an effect in opening more minds to other views ?

  Also, once the newness wears off people will be back to the regular drudgery. Remember all the excitement over tract campaigns? Now they are a dime a dozen.

  Outlaw, you're really putting the tinfoil hat on with the ISP thing lol. No way they can afford to do that. It's probably some deal to cheapen their own infrastructure costs.

  well my wife and i have been through a roller coaster of life since i convinced her the dibs werent the truth.

  the hardest tests have been lived but we are closer than ever now.

  now recently shes read "the shack" nd watched some movies about god and just cant seem to inderstand why god would allow all of this suffering just to prove to satan that hes "the man" (or woman).

  Will WT start having JW kids do school in kingdomhalls?

  with all the articles about trying to keep kids in and not learn ttatt, etc, i can see one day they will use the kh's for class during the day and any parents who volunteer to teach, can count that as time.

  lol .

  Enough Fun... We'll E-Talk Again Soon.

  my professional life allowed me a bit of time off plus some breaks here and there to hang out here and have a little fun e-dropping my 2 cents worth more often than necessary.

  however, i'm approaching quite a busy period ahead, so don't miss me too much, okay?.

  look up all my previous posts and reflect on it; letting your ex-jw rut ruin your present life is such a waste.

  mainstream news in canada warns about legal corruption by us police.

  perhaps there will be some shame leading to change in this.. .

  Phew! Actual reporting! Thought this was going to be some "don't travel to the US because ISIS".
