  Bible Studies...how hard, how rare, anybody know a JW with one???

  by oompa in

  i find it interesting how many dubs of even 50 years old have never had a bible study (yet they go out most sat morns.

  for two hours and turn in the slip) ...and how many dubs really want one?

  (and is nt that the goal of service?

  Back when I was a jw, I had 4 over the course of my 5 years as a pioneer.

  An elderly man with alzheimers - we studied the my book of bible stories because he didn't remember anything.

  A man who knew the Bible better than I did, but didn't live by it - he said it was a nice historical book.

  A teenage boy who didnt want to study, but his mom made him.

  A teenage girl whom I turned over to a pioneer sister.

  Of these studies, I didn't prepare for any of them. I didn't want them. I hope they never join.

  France taxing The Watchtower, what became of that?

  by VM44 in

  2. scandals

  years ago it was announced that france was going to tax the watchtower.. i believe the watchtower took out a full page newspaper ad in the new york times (?

  ) protesting this action on the part of france.. the watchtower in france appealed this decision to the courts.. so, after all these years, what happened?.

  did the watchtower (france division) have to pay taxes or not?.

  BurnTheShips, I believe you are correct - france does not tax religious organizations. But they do tax cults.

  Currently I don't go to meetings.

  Half of the people I used to hang out with refuse to talk to me.

  The other half act like nothing has changed.

  Perhaps, the kangaroos got to australia because noah did light up.

  Then the methane went "boom" and all the animals went flying to their respective continents.

  A year and a half ago, I would have said the same thing as Leolaia said "we are not soliciting anything, giving free home bible studies"

  it has been a while since i have come here.. i noticed the other day that when i searched for jehovah's witnesses, the first page in google was almost all pro jw pages, or at the very least neutral, stating only non-controversial facts.. it wasn't until page 2 that jwn (is that how this site is reffered to?

  or is it still jwd?

  ) actually showed in the results.. i seem to remember that jwd ranked on first page, as that is how i found it.. is it worth trying to get this site on page 1 for jehovahs witnesses?

  I think that maybe this being a new domain might be working against the site.

  Link building wouldn't hurt though.

  edit: side note - you only have 51 external links according to yahoo site explorer - definitely could use some more.

  Twitter, facebook, blogs are all good sources for links.

  Hello,

  It has been a while since I have come here.

  I noticed the other day that when I searched for Jehovah's witnesses, the first page in Google was almost all pro JW pages, or at the very least neutral, stating only non-controversial facts.

  It wasn't until page 2 that JWN (is that how this site is reffered to? or is it still JWD?) actually showed in the results.

  I seem to remember that JWD ranked on first page, as that is how I found it.

  Is it worth trying to get this site on page 1 for Jehovahs witnesses? Do people find the site anyway?

  What is the most used search term to get here?

  Just wondering,

  Metaspy
