Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

by DATA-DOG in

as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

defender of truth.

I'd be interested to know how you explane away 1975?

As i lived through that time and the WTS did all but say the end was comming.

If you need any proof just look back at the puplications pre 75 and how the number of JW's went down after 75.

The imperfect man ,people read too much into it dosen't wash with me or alot of other people the hype about 75 was driven from the G.B down.

I heard a member of the G.B give a talk at an international assembly in 1974 .. quote "This is most likley the last convention before armagedden"

So tell me what were we ment to read into that??? and that is only one of a very many.

FEWER NEW ZEALAND CITIZENS AFFILIATED WITH JWS IN 2013 THAN IN 1996: SUCCESSIVE YEARS OF DECREASE

by steve2 in

fewer new zealand citizens affiliated as jws in 2013 than in 1996: over 15 years of successive decreases.

the first table shows the new zealand census from 1976 to 2013. typically, numbers of citizens affiliated with the witnesses are higher than the number of active publishers because it includes children and those who are affiliated with the witnesses but who may not be active publishers.. of note, more citizens were recorded as affiliated with the witnesses in 1996 (19,527) than in 2013 (17,931).

the decline in numbers affiliating with the witnesses in new zealand started in 2001 and has continued across two further census reports - so this is not just a temporary blip.

steve2,I was involved in alot of quick builds around the north island in the late 80's early 90's we couldn't build them fast enough now they seem to be emptying at the same rate.

They wanted atleast 250 seat K.H's even in places like Taumaranui were they now have about 40 publishers.

The rural economy in NZ is booming so people are moveing to those areas not moveing away.
