SCARY(actually hilarious) JW Urban Legends (smurf content)

by *jeremiah* in

does anyone have any dub urban legend stories?.

i remember a story running rampant when i was in my pre-teenage years that went a little something like this:.

word on the street was that a young child went to the circuit assembly with his parents.

Hah, I've heard that John Denver story, but now it's Shakira instead of John Denver.

And the smurf leaving the Kingdom Hall story too, except the version I heard was with a treasure troll. Remember those ugly bastards?

My letters and responces from and to a JW. (yes, its long)

by Zone in

i said when christ came and gave his life for us there was no longer a need for the mosaic law.

now, with that said, gentiles (non-jews) were never bound by the mosiac law.

Chameleon

Meh, she'll probably say "The WT said so, and that's good enough for me."

How did you come into contact with this JW?

Publisher statistics

by Shepherd Book in

every year for at least the last half-century, the society has published statistics on the activity of jws around the world.

i am hoping someone here can provide me with that information, or can direct me as to where it can be found.

specifically, i am looking for usa-specific data: usa population (the way watchtower counts it - sans alaska and hawaii), number of publishers in the usa and number baptized in the usa.

http://www.watchtower.org/statistics/worldwide_report.htm Just for 2005, though.

"why do they keep knocking on the door!

What do JW's believe about salvation?

by fudgepops in

what exactly do the jw's believe makes a person saved or not?

Anyone who's not a JW will be killed by God. Anyone who is a JW is still not saved because they have to keep selling books from the Watchtower. They don't know if they're saved until Judgement day comes.

circuit ass-embly

by bonnzo in

jw

just a few notes.

the entire ass-embly was dealing with materialism or higher education; apparantly one leads to the other.

why cant the wts realize that higher education is not just a means to get rich or ahead in this system, but a means to have a career outside of janitorial work?

Chameleon

Ok, so the WT says that college isn't necessary, and at the meetings they say "Give us more money or God will kill you."
