an poignant question which might make a few jws a bit uncomfortable.. the words of jesus said that no one knows of the time of his return not the ancient israelites or the first era christians and jesus admonished those who would set a time upon god's own sacred time.. words spoken by jesus that certain men failed to adhere to who self proclaimed preachers of the gospel.. the executive leaders of the watchtower corporation (gb) have said that they were the faith slave to jesus fulfilling his instructions to spread the word of the new system of things.
.
yet over the past 140 years the wts and the men who have been running that organization have been endeavoring false prophets, selling a tainted corrupt version of the gospel through the literature these men published.
Thanks for your comments all.
As I've said before the leaders of the Watchtower Corporation were all novice bible theologians who just happened to run their own publishing house.
Most of the doctrine they created were devised and used to enhance the proliferation of their literature they wrote and published, they were simply crooked and corrupt charlatans.
i think it’s time for business to reopen and let’s get the economy going again!

what say you??
If the economy remains closed more people will die from suicide and starvation than Coronavirus would ever kill.
I think what what this statement is saying is that people who lose their jobs and are starting to lose their homes and possessions, could start a trend of suicides out of hopelessness, particularly in countries like Italy where that country was hit especially hard.
i was just watching this on you tube, about the growth of the lds church.
i think these numbers may support a number of theories that have been discussed on here.
(1) the jws are bigger as a religious organisation.. (2) jw membership is more engaged, as well as, more ethnically diverse.. (3) wt is been honest with its counting.
Just because Mormons men and woman, dont go out door to door proselytizing doesn't mean they are not registered and accounted church going Mormons.
That's the point your missing.
You could say the JWS have more publishers theoretically, that doesn't mean they have an equal amount of practicing members than what the Mormon faith has.

Ive always maintained there isn’t a lot of differences in numbers between the two faiths.
Wrong there are 1.2 million JWS in the US, there are 6.5 million Mormons in the US.
The differences between the two religions is that the JWS are spread out over many countries where the LDS is not.
Mormons have 15 million world wide.
Being that the JWS have been proselytizing door to door for new members since 1935 it should be accepted the JWS growth rate over all is an utter failure in luring in new members to the religion.

You think anyone is going to listen for hour about the Mormon growth rate in the last 20 years ?
I think why the JWS growth is slower in most cases is that many practicing JWS drop out of the organization meaning a poor retention rate.
Snore ..... next
are they revered like the pope is to catholics??
back in the 1960s , fred franz and n.h knorr were the only men that counted.
after franz died, the governing body became more of an idolized entity.
Maybe not Min but they wouldn't openly say so in front of another JWS, when your in a cult like this the members are well aware what could happen if they did.

what say you??
There is going to be possibility of having an upsurge of new cases after the restrictions are lifted in certain areas.
This is where the governments are going to have to play it as it comes.

Good luck waiting for a vac. Seriously??
And you have another alternative ?
One thing to note is there more clinical institutions working on a vaccine for this virus more so than any other time in human history.
Lets be optimistic on the matter.

It could be suggested that they may of done comparatively well.
For the amount of literature and field work JWs do to lure in new members, you must be joking.
Lies and corruption have done well for the WTS particularly 1914, 1975 but there was a eventful drop off after 1975.
Can you name a religion that has a documented slow growth rate but proselytizes as much as the JWS do ?
Wake up and smell the coffee Joe

It may have to go this way until a vaccination is established and I think many government officials are starting to see that in spite of the possibility of there being a small number of occurring new cases.
The option to reinstall restrictions is there if there is a dramatic outbreak again.
