  How Many JWs Really Believe Everything They Are Told?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that 80% of jws do not truly believe in what they are taught .

  the vast majority stay in because of family, friends, ignorance and a lack of caring about any of the facts regarding the "truth".

  many people are lazy.

  I think its far far less, I'd say only a few percent really dont believe it , if the order from HQ came next week to drink they Cool Aid they's be ordering tons of the stuff, how many times have you heard the old saying "if I was the only jw left in the world I'd still believe it?"

  please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

  this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

  at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

  insanely close! what are we living in the last days of the last days? don't worry buddy we've heard it all before, the world was on the brink of thermo nuclear war in 1963 with The Cuba Missile Crisis, we had the end coming in 1975, The world was on the brink of a communist invasion, but then the break up of the Soviet Union came and The Berlin Wall fell! there are over 7.3 billion people on this planet and 99.9% of us lead quiet peaceful normal lives and we all return one day to the dust that we came from, the Earth will be here for a good few million years yet, dont worry your little self too much about it.

  my mom had surgery last month and she developed complication and had to be on antibiotics to treat infection.

  so, she is recovering slowly, but things was tough on her and she was not attending kh or went to assembly two weeks ago.

  nonetheless, elder showed up at her place and instead providing her with comfort he started to harass her that her faith is weak, she does not put trust in jah, etc.
