The antidote to the myth that JWs are declining

by slimboyfat in

one of the most persistent myths on this website is that jws are already in decline, the rot has set in, and the descent of the watchtower is inevitable from here on in.

unfortunately the facts do not bear this out.

jws are still increasing even in most developing countries, and they are still growing worldwide at a faster rate than the general population.

When is increasing numbers considered a decline?

When you can't keep up with the birth rate. That describes the current state of JWism to a tee!

So, Whats the real reason JWs are no concessions open at the DC and are discouraged from supporting nearby vendors?

so ever since they discontinues the food service at the assemblies and dcs, jws have been "lovingly encouraged" to pack a light lunch to eat.

the secretary at the hall that i am held hostage in said during the service meeting that even a sub would be too heavy to eat, and that a light salad was the best option.

what do you fine people think is the real reason why, in the absence of food service, jws are told to not leave the building at lunch?

Blounde - Did the money intake go up or down after they stopped serving food?

How will the WT spin China???

by Freeof1914 in

i read an article this morning on how china is quickly reaching even footing with the united states in all aspects; military, economic etc.

the article continued saying how it was imperative that the united states recognize that it would be forced to behave accordingly or risk ddestabilizing the world.

another interesting statement was made that sooner rather than later the u.s. would become the 2nd largest economy falling behind china.

Sooner why fight when you can get your enemy to slit his own throat . - Art of War I am pretty sure

The Chinese don't want or need to get them anywhere but they have deployed them and by much the same way the US does with comercial airliners and cargo planes. BTW a year aftem Vietnam War ended invaded China kicked it's butt in a couple of months of fighting. Something the US couldn't do after years of fighting. Why? They got boots on the ground and didn't even attempt to use technology like aircraft just lots of rifles and marching.

Not only do is there a trunk I do believe modern science is working on the roots of pre-life. So far the theories are in the early stages but they still beat the magic sky father poofing them into existence theory.

China hit 9 trillion after about 60 year of existence most of that since 2000. The US took roughly 200 or so years to get to around 9 trillion and 234 years to get to 16 trillion do the math. Also the US has the most tecnological military but if you go off the measure of true strength (which has always been boots on the ground) China is the clear winner and to add to that they are catching up fast on the technology side as well.

So in short the US growth is slowing heavily while China is growth is growing heavily.
