  ok so i here i am about to turn eighteen next month and im staring off into the oblivion otherwise known as the rest of my life.

  i'm young, fairly healthy, and anxious...for what?

  don't ask me.... hormones raging through my body and ive done so many "disfellowshipping" offenses recently that its almost embarassing lol no actually i feel no regret ironically enough and havn't caused any pain for me or any otheres.

  You're half my age, and making good decisions. Stick to it, you'll turn out better than many of us.

  Memorial Partaker totals for 72 years by request!

  by Atlantis in

  2. bible

  question from researcher: the other day you posted the australian peak publishers and i was wondering if it would be possible to post the numbers of the "memorial partakers" from 1935 to 2006. that would be about 72 years of totals.. my answer: yes, we can do that for you but it will take a few hours to get everything together and scanned.

  i will have to use different forms of wt literature to accomplish this.. unless indicated otherwise, numbers listed show partakers for previous year and some could show: "still incomplete" but they are still listed as a total nevertheless.

  cheers!

  Is that supposed to show that in over 40 years only 5000 of the anointed died? Or are so many of the anointed turning into the evil slave that there needs to be a never ending supply of refils?

  I guess Jehovah dosen't choose to wisely...

  I must say that I am very curious

  2. beliefs

  i am looking for information on the beliefs of jehovah's witness i do not know much and i am afraid that most of what i am finding is biased information one way or the other.

  i did find a "fact sheet" and i am wondering if all of it is true or not.

  i looked at the watchtower website for answers to a few of these and so far i am finding them to be true.

  All of the above are basically correct. Some are absolute, others are more of a strong suggestion that one is pressured into. Yes, in the jws, peer pressure is a big problem.

  have you family in? i'd be interested to know what led you to make the decision to get daed??

  Yes, I do. But I wasn't much of a "quiet" fader when I was fading, so they stopped communication with me pretty early on in the process. I didn't like the duplicity of having the jw title in name only anymore. So I layed it out for the BOE.

  What sort of a witness were you?

  i'm talking door to door service work here.

  were you the kind who would insist on getting a conversation at ever door?

  or where you (like me) the kind who would take a "not interested" as an excuse to get the hell out of the householders face?

  For the first few years, I was moderately responsible about it, albeit begrudingly. Before too long, I started not taking down not at homes, even not keeping a call book. I almost never did my own calls. Always drove the car group. Took looong breaks. Basically the FS was not my thing.

  is it worse than fundamentalists of every other sort?

  are jws worse than radical muslims?

  Bethel was in "LOCKDOWN". No one could leave or come in. JWs are the farthest thing from a humanitarian organization! Yet right after this, they were on the streets passing out tracts giving people "hope"! Ha!

  That is unreal, Minimus, just disgusting. I never would have thought that, not even from them.

  What Jaguarbass said. I would also add, anything that can not allow for mental freedom should be immediately recognized as evil.

  The Day Has Arrived

  two months ago i stepped down as an elder in the cong, it was a tremdous relief although a shock to the cong.

  two and a half days ago i sent in a letter of explaination concerning why i wanted to step down and why i will be absent from the kh.

  it only took two and a half days for the accusation of apostasy to be made against me.
