  Will FULL-TIME Pioneers/CO's/DO's Be REWARDED More Than Average Publishers?

  by african GB Member in

  just wondering,...these "brothers" dedicate their lives jehovah,...surely jehovah should give them "preferential treatment!!!.

  does jehovah "reward" his "servants" on merit/productivity?.

  does he look "at the bottom line"...ie, who recruits more members?.

  As a JW or Christian did you have a hard time explaining why God hasn't appeared in almost 2000 years?

  for the sake of less argument whether you're a believer or non-believer lets just for the moment say we can.

  take the bible as it is in current form at face value.. i'm just going to cite a few examples of bible stories of god appearing and if we had been alive back then it.

  shoulda been proof to all of his existence.. 1) leading the israelites out of egypt as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire at night.. 2) the waters of the sea miracously parting and allowing the israelites to go thru on dry land.

  I can't imagine any parents on earth today hiding their existence from their children and then getting mad at their

  children for not finding them.

  Wow that is an excellent point!

  I've been talking to many religious people lately, and this should be a great discussion subject.

  Less judgemental toward others, and more accepting of other persons faults.

  Also I feel much more calmer,

  I think because we have developed very organized, conditional relationships with many persons over the years.

  Hey Luo bou to,

  do you have a brother who was an elder for years in a cong. in Illinois, then switched over to the spanish cong?

  send me a pm if needed. Don't worry,, I'm no spy.

  Jehovhah's Witnesses Once Again America's Fastest Growing Church

  by David2002 in

  2. bible

  according to the 2009 edition of the yeabook of american and canadian churches, jehovah's christian witnesses are once again the fastest group in the united states.

  meanwhile the roman cathollic church and the southern baptist convention lost thousands of members.

  while the growht rate of the witnesses was 2.12%, based mainly on those that actively preach the good news, it was the highest growth percentage when compared to other groups.

  JW's may be the fastest growing denomination, but the fasting growing religious group are those who decide to be unaffiliated with any reilgion.

  excellent point !!!!!

  i work at a local community college and yes the witnesses come around and set up shop every semester.

  I have thought about alerting the administration about their stand on college, yet there is a school newspaper run by the students.

  I'm currently in the process of writing the editors a letter about the education stand of jw's and attach the 9/1/08 wt magazine,page 11 prominently highlighted.
