people are born on this planet at a faster rate than the JWs could ever keep up with to preach to.

That's what I told the circuit overseer about 2 years ago : Let's admit Jesus' sacrifice was necessary to provide salvation to those who would exercise faith, and jehovah had to wait until then before stepping in to straighten things up. To put things in the worst case, He would have destroyed, say 200 million mecreants 2000 years ago. Now, just because He has to prove his point, He would have to destroy 7 billion people minus 7 M JWs...And Those ones keep quoting Peter 3 :9 'Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise but he is patient because he doesn't desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance'. Everybody can see that this reasoning doesn't make sense, still they keep on repeating it like parrots. CO replied : there's no answer to that question.

I would hate looking paranoid but I'm stricken by the regularity of such examples like Achan and Ananias given by the WTS at that time of the year, when people in many countries think of giving to charities so as to deduct their donation from their annual taxable income. Such examples instil in JWs' minds a feeling of guilt and fear with the idea that they should give 'liberally and without holding back the moves of their hearts" for the advancement of the kingdom interests, or else incur deprivation of Jehovah's blessing, not to mention His wrath. Such articles mainly come out between september and december each year (submitted to Blondie's research and confirmation).

NEW KM style

Does it have no service report? No figures? Here is how the french KM puts it in the News from our ministry box : From now on, only outstanding aspects of our activity will appear in the present column. Therefore, the latter won't be systematically published every month. Then they report that between 2004 and sept 2008 the number of regular pioneers has risen from 4778 to 9001 and that for the 7th year on a row the total number of publishers has risen by 1%. That's all for the article.

From the offical WT website ... new light?

by sacolton in

do the witnesses believe that their religion is the only right one?anyone who is serious about his religion should think that it is the right one.

otherwise, why would he or she be involved in it?

christians are admonished: "make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine.

aligot ripounsous

whatever cautious language they may use on this subject, as long as they compare the WT organization to the ark and let the listener draw the conclusion for himself, their stand is that only JWs will be saved.

Ex-Elders & MS's Outweigh Current Ones

by minimus in

jw

.....in amount, i believe.

i think there are more former elders and servants than there are current.

if you look in a hall, it's not uncommon to see 5 ex elders just going to the meetings, doing whatever little they can do.

aligot ripounsous

Even before I started roaming on JWD, I let elders know that I was not volunteering to be a MS again because during the time I had been one I had had to exercise too much self censorship, not being really convinced of what I had to say from the platform and I had felt quite uncomfortable about it. Interestingly, most of the elders I told this were understanding and sympathetic towards such qualms, as if they were feeling the same.

Goodbye to JWD ... hello to JWN !

by Simon in

as i announced some time ago, jwd as it is will not continue .... ... but .... it's clear from people's comments that they do like the site and many would like it or something else like it to continue.. one issue was the forum software that was self-developed and not really in a good state to hand-over to anyone but i've been working on that and can now reveal the first release of what will probably be called jwn (son of jwd):.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/.

it is still work-in-progress so not all features are enabled yet but it will allow you to browse the site in a similar way to this one and it is pointing at the same database (although because of the way the caching works, new posts made on this site won't appear immediately).

(next GB meeting) let's face the facts, brothers,this apostate Simon still budges.

UFO's are the greatest hoax of all time! They exist only in our mind!

by Witness 007 in

general mccarthur 1955 ; "the next great war will be an inter-planetary war...".

ufo sightings "took off" after world war 2...why?

well what were people watching at the movies?

aligot ripounsous

The biggest problem with UFOs is that they always show up in places where they're only seen by one or two people

That's certainly not the case with crop circles, which appear overnight between may and august in cereal fields, mainly in the south of England and which, for most of them, simply can't be man made. Thousands of people can watch them, each year. Just have a look at Lucy Pringle's website. Reminds me the prophecy "There will be great signs".

Peculiar NWT rendering: System of Things

by Athanasius in

this morning at church i read the new testament lesson, which was ephesians 1:15-23, from the new revised standard version bible.

verse 20-21 says:.

"god put this power to work in christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, (21) far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come.".

I suppose Piety has a christendom ring from which the WTS has wanted to be differenciated, so they contrived Godly devotion, or is it that they are afraid JWs are too ignorant to understand what Piety means ?
