Population BOOM!
by nicolaou in
1. jw
2. friends
let's assume that there are about 9,000,000 armageddon survivors (baptised jw's and their children), after just 30 years every survivor will be sexually mature and with increased vigour and health.. .

chemical contraception, condoms, i.u.d's etc will all be long gone so any married couple with a normal sex-drive will be producing children at an average rate of about 1 per year.. .

world population at the beginning of the 20th century was less than 1.5 billion.

just looking briefly on this board, i can see all the warnings given in the watchtower about those leaving the organisation and sinking into the mire of the world are true.. you are all sad losers.

How long out? Why still here?
by hillary_step in
1. jw
2. friends
some posters to this board, who perhaps are bored posters, have been out of the wts for a long while, some for decades.

i think i understand why you still feel the need to meet here but just wished to hear from you personally.. how long have you been out?

why do you still feel the need to discuss and involve yourselves with jw issues?

How Long???
by Xena in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been drifting for about 1 1/2 years now and was hoping that in a year or two i would have distanced myself enough from the org.

that i can actually start living my life exactly the way i want to...aka celebrating the holidays by putting lights on the house, not having to tell my daughter not to say anything about going trick or treating, getting birthday presents or going to cheerleader camp.

but i read some posts in the disfellowhiping thread started by somebody where people have been inactive for 3 years and are still disfellowhiped!

LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER
by You Know in
1. jw
2. friends
perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.
