  Sounds like a parody to me. I doubt they would ever allow such access to the gb.

  Tired of the Hypocrisy

  First of all, Welcome!

  I am new here and I am having some issues yself with pestering. Since I have so much family involved with them I am just what they call "Fading" in here. So, depending on how you want to deal with friends and family, you can cut them off as they will you by getting disfellowshipped or by writing a letter telling the congregation you are disasscoating yourself. Or you can fade like me.....

  Good luck to you.

  It seems that the witlesses are more likely to fake reports just to keep a nominal membership up. The Mormons do not, though they are reluctant to drop a member that has become inactive (but they will not fake activity for those who are not active).

  I just heard from a very sharp cookie that brought up a great point. If jw's are not to b competitive......why post stats in such a competetive manner?

  Tired of the Hypocrisy

  I got the following as an email from a family member. HAs anyone read this book? Anyone know where they get the LDS and wt stats?

  This an excerpt from a text by David D. Stewart who is a writer for the LDS (Mormons), and it really shows who has Jehovah's spirit on their work!!

  The Law of the Harvest

  Practical Principles of Effective Missionary WorkExcerpt:'Rodney Stark and Laurence Iannaccone noted: 'Except for the years immediately following the prophetic disappointment of 1975, [Jehovah's] Witness growth has consistently outpaced Mormon growth. In 1954, there were 7.7 Mormons per Witness publisher. By 1994, this had been reduced to 1.9.
  
  Given that the Mormons are generally viewed as the world's most successful new religion and had about an 80-year start on the Witnesses, this is an astonishing achievement.' [25] It is even more astonishing when we consider that there are far more participating Jehovah's Witnesses than Latter-day Saints, since Jehovah's Witness statistical reports consistently cite attendance rates far above official membership, while only a fraction of nominal LDS members are active. In 1935, there were 56,000 Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide and 746,384 Latter-day Saints.
  Since 1935, the number of active Jehovah's Witnesses has increased more than a hundredfold, while LDS membership has increased by a factor of twenty, with only a fraction of those members remaining active. After more than fifteen years of proselyting in Russia with the largest full-time missionary force of any denomination, LDS membership has risen to only 17,000, and only a minority of those members participates. The same period has seen the number of active Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia rise to over 140,000, with some 300,000 individuals attending conferences. There are more active Jehovah's Witnesses in the countries of Georgia or Armenia than active Latter-day Saints in all of Eastern Europe, Central Asia , and Russia together.
  
  There are over 1.4 million proselytizing Jehovah's Witnesses in Europe and 2.7 million who attend Jehovah's Witness conferences, compared to fewer than 100,000 active Latter-day Saints in all of Europe , including the United Kingdom . One Austrian saint observed: 'A friend of mine is a Jehovah's Witness .' When he came to Vienna with his family at age eight, there were forty Jehovah's Witnesses in Vienna . That was all for Austria . Now, twenty years later, there are 20,000 active Jehovah's Witnesses.
  Twenty years ago we had 400 LDS members in Vienna and some more in other cities of Austria, and now, we only have about 750 in Vienna . Whenever we talk about missionary work in Church, we always hear those saying 'it's so hard, and the Austrians are an irreligious people.' That cannot be entirely true, or else the Jehovah's Witnesses would not have had such a growth!'

  Comical Memories While You Were A Witness

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in all the years i was a witness, i must admit there were some pretty funny things that i can remember.

  i can't forget the time after i had given a public talk and the sister who played the piano ran from the bathroom to the piano with half of her dress still tucked in her pantyhose.

  brothers and sisters were trying in vain to run down the long aisle but to no avail.

  Tired of the Hypocrisy

  Back around 1981 or 1982 we had this young guy that the service overseer was studying with. He was very effeminate, dainty, and was openly gay. This poor kid was very perceptive and very outspoken. For instance he walked up to a young sister with flaming red hair and asked her if she used Henna. Do you use henna? Do you use henna? And she said yes I do, all happy that someone was there to talk hair with her. Then he said, I knew it because I can see your roots! HA HA HA

  His perceptive powers paid off and he got a snootfull of the bs and decided the truth was not to be had there. So he showed up one Sunday afternoon and during the wt study he walked up the aisle and threw several handfulls of confetti onto his study conductor. Well and everyone around him! HA HA HA Then he simply said, this is nothing but shit and I am tired of taking your shit!!! He turned on his heel and left calmly. When we looked at the confetti it was the remnants of a nwt Bible, every inside page was methodically cut into very close to exact 1/2 inch squares. Amazing determination on htis kid.

  Watchtower religious advisers on trial

  by edmond dantes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower organization is now currently on trial and the courtroom is the internet .the defendant is of course the watchtower organization and what a hopeless case they are making of their defense.the jury is anybody who comes to the jwd forum with an open mind and is willing to examine both sides of the case and willing to give their verdict.. as with any court case expert witnesses for the prosecution are called many of whom are found here in this court room.many witnesses are called who have had first hand experiences of living the life of a jw and their testimony here continually proves that the org.

  has spent years expertly manipulating words , misleading their own members and the general public.. they are a book publishing company and life insurance company at the same time .their scam is a unique succes as they never have to pay out on their insurance policys' , their so called life expectations of "you can live here for ever " predictions ,for instance , have never materilised and yet they are still able to offer the same scam year in year out and of course they do it in business suits ,to cleverly impress ,and unfortunatley people keep falling for their plausible writings.

  there mantra is keep buying into the concept and persuade others to do likewise and don't forget to send in the financial contributions.. how do you find for the defendant guilty or not guilty?.
