If the end don't come by 2020
The WTS is full of baloney
By twenty twenty , else it ain't worth a penny
i've been playing around with wt statistics recently, helped by the great data available on jwfacts.com.
i wanted to share somehting with the community, maybe you've seen something like this before.. continuing the trend of decline seen during the last 30 years, i was able to extrapolate the year when wt growth might finally end.
if trends continue, we may only have to wait about 8 more years, 9 years to see it reported if the wt decides to report it at all, to see publisher growth end and possibly reverse.. the graph shows the annual growth rate of average publishers during the last 31 years.

i remember reading somewhere in regards to a a 'prophet' of sorts who had predicted all the popes that have been chosen.. his 'prophecy' stated that the next pope (since benedict has resigned) would be the last before the 'end' would come.
his name would be pope peter.. let's see what happens.
we are suppose to know who the next pope will be before easter..

Have any Popes been Dicks , I mean Richards ?

Not catchy enough. It needs to rhyme. "Stayin' alive 'till 75"
Yes Stayin alive til 2025 has a more poetic ring to it.. maybe just "overlap" some years or something to arrive at this year
Maybe you're being too "eager" for the end
last week a sister in my new hall made the following comment,.
"a brother once told me that it is better to be wrong with the organization, than to be right and be on your own without the organization.".
wow.
" Jehovahs timetable is not contingent on all nations being saturated by the good news"
Billions in china and India and the middle East have heard nothing about "the good news " as such
don't individuals count ? ....yet in N america people must be reached every Saturday or you become bloodguilty
Or this comment by a mother at WT study, concerning disfellowshipped children .. "It is worse than them being dead ! "
How do you think others felt about her attitude to her own disfellowshipped son or the countless others sitting there
that had disfellowshipped children or at least one disfellowshipped daughter that was there with her mother that day ?

Just how one Elder always talked about the importance of our" warship'... of course meaning "worship"
but just couldn't get on with that pronouncation even when other elders tried to correct him time after time.
here are some sample expressions i found on-line.
my spouse is not abusive, mean, a bad person, an adulterer or any of those other labels.
my spouse refuses to grow up.
A ring is round, it turns forever...... however tomorrow may be the end of your forever thus hold onto it most dearly & gently ....treasure the tears, the laughter, but most importantly, the memories
fun times.. a year and a month have passed since i moved in to the house where my cousin deb and her husband bobby live.. i had a small but comfortable room, tv, etc.. a nice cozy family situation, you might say....right?.
i pay $600 a month to defray expenses.. hunky dory.. sure.
until the first few eruptions!.
I appreciate your kind, reasonable and balanced approach to this situation cheers !

Even if Mere whisperings beckons us on to God ... that leaves even a 1% chance ..wonderment that leaves a place for God.. in our thoughts ....our hopes.. eternal dreams
These are just the beginning of all that he
does, merely a whisper of his power. Who,
then, can comprehend the thunder of his
power?"(Job 26:14)...
with all the control they want to have over people's lives, i wonder if going brazilian down there (male or female) would be cause for readjustment???
lol i can see sister a telling the elders on sister b ... lol... i wonder what scriptures they would use to make their point across ... i know that for non-jw this would sound totally crazy but as an ex-jw i know that this is totally possible ....
it appears scripturally permissable to remove hair. Now if they braid it that would be wrong
It may be the whole thing with over exposure that requires drastic steps
I guess there is too much of what people call "outward adornment"
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.1Pt.3;3
