  Entire countries deserve to die!

  the first scripture we all learned as jws is in matthew, "this good news of the kingdom shall be preached to all the earth....and then the end will come.

  " st some point oi pointed out that while the number of hours in the ministry, the number of jws and the number of baptized continue to go down, the number of people on the planet explodes exponentially and so how is the above even possible?

  i recall being told or reading that there is a thing called community responsibility and that was the way the society dismissed the multitudes of people who not only would never convert to jwism, let alone christianity but would never be preached to ever.

  No excuses - the WTB&TS has failed to reach billions.
  India and China both have population of greater than a billion. Publishers in India 24,000,; China unknown but likelyhood is less than 24,000. In reality it means that close on 2 Billion people alive today (or 1/3 of the population) has not, and is unlikely to, receive a witness!

  daniel sydlik, what a guy!

  hope this worked.

  i thought a memorial was not to be a way to make the deceased the object of adoration.

  isnt it supposed to glorify joho and make known the glorious prospect of the ressurection?

  I am sure that Daniel Sydlik was a nice guy. Like so many of here, he was simply caught up in an imperfect system that is very difficult to get out of.

  Society not doing a very good job of getting their Armageddon message out.

  in this la times article, they mention every other 'end time' prophecy group - except jws.

  but i thought jw's were the only ones preaching about jesus and the end ... .

  'end times' religious groups want apocalypse soon.

  The difference between JWs and many other religious groups who may profess a belief in the return of Christ, is that to JWs it is the "be all and end all" of their belief system. Without it the JWs whole system would fall apart.

  "Slogging" - the top speed at which JWs go door to door

  by LovesDubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this topic has been beat to death probably in here...but i was watching some of the "friends" going down my street the other day (and they categorically skip my house because satan and i are tight you know) and it reminded me so much of how much i hated going door to door and how i prayed when it was my turn to knock that nobody was home.

  and we walked down those streets with our little territory cards in hand, making anywhere from meticulous to rediculous notes about the house we were just at...and moving our feet as slowly as we possibly could to maintain a forward motion at all, to eat up the time we were forced to (yes i said forced to) report every month.

  field service was what you called the time you spent between when you were at mcdonalds and dunkin donuts.

  I can remember knocking on doors where you know no one is in and still spending 10 minutes talking to me "partner" waiting for the door not to be opened.

  What are the most insincere things JWs say?

  by Spectrum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it really makes me angry when they say i love jehovah.

  they don't know what they are talking about.

  if they read with an open mind the carry-ons of this cruel mesopotanian god they would feel ridiculous and embarrassed for putting this god before their family, their children.

  Hiring the wife to other men

  by greendawn in

  2. friends

  in india having a daughter is a big economic liability due to the need to provide a dowry for her future husband.

  better have sons to receive dowries.

  so, many parents abort or kill their infant daughters and as a result there aren't enough women for all the men to marry with.

  The CDROM simply contains all the current WTB&TS publications. The fact of the matter is that they still hold to these beliefs.
