Congregation memorial stats

by nowwhat? in

2 congregations met together attendance 355 which is close to exact number of combined publishers.

only saw a couple of new faces.

so it looks like once again the invitation work was a complete failure and relatives of jw's couldn't be talked into coming anymore!.

Hi,

Here in France, almost 300 jw of 2 assemblies .

but wait a minute ...

we have a "restructuration" 2 or 3 assemblies vanished KH probably will be sold one day ( there is a mini assembly in it )

In fact , at the memorial , there were "free" seat.

And in KH ... since there is many many JW , theer are no seat for "Truth Friends".

Here,too more you have jw in KH , less you have free places for no-jw

It was predictable, no ?

The question is are jw conscious of that fact ?

When you are restructuring your assemblies and put more JW by assemblies , you have less free place for newcomers.

They repeat again this years that there are 8 millions of JW and 20 millions at memorial but I can't see how they push the walls in KH to find place :) when during the week assembly , jw are already "cramped "in the assemblies :)

Best regards

Radio Carbon Dating / Dendrochronology / Ice Core Data

by HiddenPimo in

so i was using our current (mankind's) scientific understandings to refute the possibility of a global flood.. i was not being argumentative but used the reasoning found on jw-facts.. what was the reply?.

https://wol.jw.borg/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101972243 (remove the b).

an article over 47 years ago smh.... how do you scientific minds help to show the accuracy of dates?.

keinlezard

Hi,

For the "flood" purpose only, I will not use radio chrononlogy .... there is no need :)

Consider only Egyptian Chronology ... all Kings and dynasties are know with accurate date ...

Thus , when you see that Egyptian civilisation existed before flood ( saqara pyramid for example ) and

after the flood ... the same civilisation , with same gods , same writing system existed too ...

how is it possible if God's flood ... destroyed everything ?

Only 8 persons in the Arch ... millions of egyptian are dead ... and , just after water vanish , this civilisation

with all gods , all persons is here !!!!

Abracadabra it's magic !!!

Consider now ... minoeans civilisation ... same .. existed before flood ... and after flood :)

And as we say in "France" ... "jamais 2 sans 3" ... "Things come in threes". .. consider Chinese Civilisation ... :)

you can add , with reason, all radio chronology ... but JW will says that because there was "water" upon the atmosphere ... the quantity of C14 may differ ....

then you can only use other radio chronology but it's a little bit more complicated ... :(

When The Truth - is Not -The Truth

by Esau in

is 607bc being a made up, “plug in” date the only thing that invalidates 1914 from being christ’s time of kingly rein?.

i mean, screw the math & bs formulas.

can 1914 simply work as a starting date for “the last days” simply by the events that occurred??

keinlezard

Hello,

Another point of view ...

- 607 is a date in a 365.25 days year

but 2520 who are added to - 607 are "prophetic years" of 360 days

...

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101981014?q=2520++360&p=doc

Turning to chapter 12 of Revelation, we note that verses Re 12:6 and 14 show a period of 1,260 days to be “a time and times and half a time,” or 1 + 2 + 1/2 for a total of 3 1/2 times. Therefore, “a time” would be equal to 360 days, or 12 lunar months averaging 30 days each. “Seven times” would come to 2,520 days; and the Biblical prophetic reckoning of “a day for a year, a day for a year,” indicates that these actually would work out to be a period of 2,520 calendar years. (Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6) This, therefore, is the duration of the “seven times”—the Gentile Times.

The Watchtower says to us 1km + 1 miles = 2 km ... or 1nautical mile ( 1 852 m ) + 1 geographical mile

( 1 855,3m)=2 miles :(

Just a problem of conversion ...

The clown factory at Warwick

by Sour Grapes in

it just amazes me how the clown factory at the borgs basilica in warwick could produce 8 clown popes that act like self-licking ice cream cones and the jdubs take them so seriously.

if the popes said that they were going to have a bible signing session at a king dumb hall 8 hours away that so many jdubs would make the trip the town would be swamped with traffic.. you know what is truly sad is when during jdub public prayers, the governing body gets more praise than the head of the congregation.

all jesus gets is the final "in jesus name.".

Hello,

How strange was the "Wachtower" study of this WE when I read "Show Consideration to Those Taking the Lead" https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2018571

Some have fallen short in this regard. How? By aggressively trying to photograph well-known ones, by taking photos of them without their permission and posting such photos on social media, or by asking them to sign their books or Bibles. Do you not agree that this attitude reflects the world’s spirit?

But when i saw the picture of GB signing ( Sparky's Post 4 month ago ) ... who is "some have fallen short" .... Ummm ....

It's the same spirit i smell when I read about 1975 "Some Zealous Brothers ..."

Can you ever see a time when Govt`s of this world will attempt to abolish all religions ?

by smiddy3 in

jw
friends

we are now in the 21st century of our common era with its insights into the potential of what can be achieved in the near future to benefit mankind for years to come .. the co-operation of governments around the world on so many levels has never been better than it is today and it is at least encouraging to see this .. whether it has to do with the climate , the environment ,food production ,safe water for all ,and the better health for all in the near future, and in the future space exploration.

however the problem today is still religion !

in its many extreme forms that divides us in no ways that politics divide us .. politicians learn how to compromise and work with their opponents for the greater good ,whereas religions don`t.. religions divide humans like no politicians ever did well not to the extremes religions will go anyway.. is their going to come a time in history when governments politicians say enough is enough and try attempt to abolish religion ?.

keinlezard

Hello,

In fact never. Why should Gov abolish religions ?

on one hand The faith is a "humain right" how can gov forbid somebody to believe ? It's a right and it's in the human right declaration

On the another hand, we know that gov's use religion as a "weapon" , CIA use "Christian Sect" , Korean use Moon Sect , Saoudia Arabia use salafism ...

Yes, these gov play a dangerous game .. but since the world is the world they play ! It's a modern "Trojan" Horse ... and lobbying game

They have no reason to abolish , money and power rather than the old deadly weapons and power ... it's a new kind of war.

Question for elders about child abuse

by LevelThePlayingField in

must the testimony of two witnesses of child abuse be them witnessing the abuse as it happens (seeing or hear it), or can it be two witnesses of strong circumstantial evidence as described on the back page of the july study edition watchtower?.

if the two witnesses must have actually witnessed the abuse take place, how would that work in the two scenarios below?.

scenario 1.. pioneer johnny has been privately counseled by the elders in the past not to be so “touchy” with kids in the hall, always given them big hugs and the like.

Hello,

when I read this article ... I ask me and what about gay people ?

If a man spend a night with another man ? Or a girl ?

Do I think that only "man and woman" could not be friend ? And when they sleep under the same roof they are doing sexual act everytime ?

I'd rather think that the old men are seriously mad, and must be avoided. They are totally mentaly mad !
