New Yearbook stats for 2007 now out!

by Dogpatch in

the report is out!.

http://www.watchtowernews.org/2007report.pdf.

cooking the books with 3% increase??.

I recently finished reading Carl Olof Jonsson's book on the Last Days When?. The information contained in that book details how the society manipulated and lied about information on earthquakes, famines and wars to support their agenda. I see no reason why they won't do the same with the annual figures.

If it suites their agenda they will do it. Isn't funny how on an anecdotal level we are all seeing numbers of witnesses decreasing, yet low and behold the numbers are increasing!. What a surprise too with their recent doctrinal manouvering on the generation an increase in the number of partakers! As some here have pointed out this is just a cynical move to buy themselves more time. I don't see the demise of the organistaion just yet as Gary Buss has pointed out they have a captive audience.

So I did the unthinkable

i decided enough was enough and had a no holds barred conversation with a room of around a dozen 'believers'.

a number of things had been troubling me all night, but the final straw was when my brother-in-law said 'isn't it funny how the acronym std can stand for both, sexually transmitted disease and satan the devil.'.

i couldn't stand the frustration anymore so i pointed out how irrelevant that fact was, and how if we spoke a different language the same conclusion could probably not be made.

Brilliant!, takes guts to stand up to cult thinking in front of so many people. Keep up the good work. I would love an opportunity like that.

is it just me, or has everyone noticed many more lurkers and newbies posting now?

i have been reading way too much lately, in light of the nbc broadcast, and it seems as if each time i read a new thread, there's someone posting their first post, or third.

right offhand, i remember leaving-jws, rmcgill_leader, jwdonotcall, confused and lost, xfdwg97, and another post i just read from mom--something or other.

Watchtower's days are really numbered

The lack of love and dull, boring meetings is also speeding up this process.

Why does the WT society not open its own non blood hospitals?

by Gill in

why does the watch tower society not build and operate its own hospitals for its people who refuse to have blood in their treatment programme?.

surely, if bloodless surgery and treatment is so superior and they could prove it with their own statistics and survival rates they could show that blood should not be used.. so, what are they afraid of?.

The-Borg

Because they would have to pay for it. I doubt they could find enough witness surgeons and medical staff to do it for free.
