Society developing anti-apostate software for JW's computers
by yaddayadda inheard a rumour that the society is working on an 'anti-apostate' software programme for jw's to purchase thru the congregation and instal on their home pc's to block access to apostate websites.
it will be based on standard anti-porn software and on the 500 most commonly used words on apostate websites.
(sucker)

<< Puts a whole new slant on it - note that Peter is saying that Jesus has the words of everlasting life, NOT an organisation. Think about that one real slow again and again, and you might just get it.>>
Ok, I did not have it word for word.
But a whole new slant??????
Hmm, I do not get that. And "of course" Jesus had the sayings of everlasting life - the earthly organisation did not exist yet, but the existance of an organisation in the future was implied on a number of occasions, e.g. - Faithful and Discreet Slave. (A channel to dispense spiritual food in an orderly fashion.)
Now, though you may not agree that the remaining 144000 on earth are this same group, the fact is that an organisation would exist. How else would the fulfillment of MATT 24:14 or MATT 28:19,20 be accomplished?
And I apologize for going off topic - anytime I have tried to start a thread it does not work.

Not at all, though I certainly would not believe anything on this site.
It strengthens my faith to see how lost people become when they depart the protection of the organisation.
As Pater said "Where else would we go to"?
Jehovah Witness.com?????? Ha Ha Ha.
Now that is funny. Hee Hee.
I wonder how much money this site makes?
Not as much as Danny Hazzard I would guess!

Ah - the forum for the faithless is still going!
Sorry to reck the wee party you are having here but, Jehovahs Witnesses are a registered charity in may countries and cannot just "pocket" peoples money.
If you do some research you could find out what the legal responsibilities of charities are.
I think it is always better to deal will fact, you know, reality!!
You do understand this concept hopefully!!! LOL

Jehovah's Witnesses- Ever Increasing Religion 1,069,530 American Publishers
by Joker10 inthere are 1,069,530 publishers in america.
notice the growth spurt at the beginning of 2006. the last month of the service year shows an increase of 2.3%.
this year and/or next year may very well show jehovah's witnesses as the fastest growing religion in america once again.. .

Well done Joker 10.
Increase is being seen across the world. Not everywhere - true - but as a collective group - yes.
Some complain that this increase is, to an extent, from within i.e. - born into the truth.
SO what?
As I have said here before - The faithless are clutching at anything to discredit the truth - even an increase!!!!! LOL!!!
And as is always the case - such ones do not offer an alternative to the truth, they just tear down.
Also, some are mentioning that other religions are showing greater rates of increase - Yeah - thats because they only need to attend 1 or 2 meetings a year and "SAY" they are in that religion to be counted.
How many "claim" to be Catholic? How many of them live up to the standards set out by the church leaders?
The answer to these 2 questions will be different.
Unlike Jehovahs Witnesses - they are only counted if they are "active publishers" - living up to their dedication.

Yes well done my friend. Good to see the "positive" aspects of the report.
It is about time someone put a realistic view on the annual report.
Increase is increase whether the faithless like it or not.
It is quite funny that some have tried to say this "increase" means doom for WTBTS???????!!!!!!!!!!!! How???????
In our area their has been a surge in interest recently, a number of bible studies started.
Yeah, some countries have had decrease. That always happens. It is a reassurance that the report is accurate when negative stats are published and not brushed under the carpet.
Keep dreaming people - we are here to stay! Nearly 100,000 congregations!!
ps - Some were talking about the internet being used to publish the truth, On the societies official site 300 people request a bible study every month. Not a huge amount but it is successful.

((think this describes The Scotsman and a lot of JW's. Magically transformed from a "worldly" person to a great pontificator of the "truth". Able to rattle off scriptures ad nauseum, but never able to answer a direct question that requires actual thinking and research.))
Your questions are deep and meaningful and you want a long in-depth answer before dinner.
Calm down man.
Their are about 30 different subjects in this thread alone.
Start a thread on a "specific" matter and we can go from there.
ps - you seem particularly bitter. What is your history? What went wrong?

Thanks for your highly intelligent and informative reply.
I think you want to go to somewhere nearer to your mental age group.
I believe the Muppets website is really good.
