Seattle PI article on Jdubs

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
some of it is a joke, cause they say the jw's are a fast growing religion...i'm sure the author of the article only talked to dubs and not ex-dubs to find out the real "truth"...].

the article can be found at this link:.

2.8% INCREASE IN JAN 1 WATCHTOWER
by jimbob in
1. jw
2. friends
perhaps this information has already been posted, so if it has i apologize.

but according to the jan 1st watchtower which was given to me, there was a 2.8% increase in publishers in the world over last year, with over 1.2 billion hours spent in service...(like those numbers aren't inflated.... when i looked back at the 92 watchtower, the number of partakers was only 8850...a mere 90 people more.

so in the span of an entire decade...only 90 people have died?????

Informal Witnessing

1. jw
2. friends
well, i was on the road this morning when my wife called me from her cell.

she proceeded to tell me she stopped to get coffee when this asian woman kept trying to talk to her in broken english.

since my wife couldn't understand her, she politely nodded and said, "that's nice" and started walking to her car.

Children's Sports....The New Epidemic of Violence!
by jimbob in
1. social
2. current
i was given the december 8, 2002 awake from a relative, and that is the title to an article inside.

it goes on to relate how violent some parents and coaches have become and gives some examples of parents who have been violent in regards to their children's sports activities.

while i do realize that there probably are instances of violent parents.....i'm sure these instances are relatively few and sporadic.

) and i stumbled upon these quotes from the 3/15/96 watchtower...... 10 loyalty to jehovahs visible organization also means having nothing to do with apostates.
