  Where do I find the numbers of the mass JW exodus cause of 1975?

  by middleman in

  2. bible

  hey yall, i'm looking to see what book/books that show the rapid decline of jw membership, cause of the failed 75 prediction.

  i've read from different internet sources it was around 800,000 from the mid 70's to 1980. is there a particular jw book i can find this in?

  maybe i could compare the mid 70's yearbooks?

  "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character...

  ...in all fiction:jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving, control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevent bully.

  ", says richard dawkins in the god delusion p51.

  he goes on to say, "those of us schooled from infancy in his ways can become desensitized to their horror".. would you agree?.

  The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures in pdf format?

  by IndependantThinker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've spent the last 2 months listening to talks of former and current jw's, reading, using the wt cd, going through my collection of watchtowers from 1879-1947 (which i do have on .pdf if anyone is interested) and books i've managed to not lose in many moves since 1964.. is there a .pdf of the 1969 the kingdominterlineartranslationofthegreekscriptures anywhere?

  i got one as a gift in 1969 when was a little girl and after going through many boxes of publications i can't find mine.

  i need it to collaberate some things i have heard and unless i can read it for myself i can't take someone else's "saying" that the kit says something.
