Make your predictions!

by Coded Logic in

the more specific the better :) here are mine:.

i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..

I believe any increase going forward will be from inbreeding. The preaching work will result in zero returns. This will cause even more dumbing down because these kids are raised with very little outside influence and the bare minimum education. They are void of any kind of critical thinking skills. They cannot reason or debate in any way and they are unaware of how to be honest in the real world. Things like 607, 1914, who our mediator is, who is annointed, what a generation is etc. will just fade into the back ground because nobody really cares what they do or do not stand for. Cartoons and Broadway tunes will be their meat in due season.

These will be the future leaders of this organization.

Seems odd that the Bible never mentions Pryamids?

by dropoffyourkeylee in

doesn't it seem strange that the bible never mentions the pyramids?

how could someone go to egypt at that time and not even so much as mention the huge monuments?

Magwitch

And now we have Ben Carson saying that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Hard to believe Moses forgot to mention that tidbit!

I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah

by cofty in

listening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.

every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.

it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

Magwitch

I thought it was just me that hated the word. Growing up in a small redneck town in the middle of nowhere, the kids in grade school and junior high always made fun of me by calling me "Jehovah". I guess my hatred for the name goes much deeper than kids making fun of my religion.

Invisible Rulership - one of the dumbest things I ever believed in

by Black Man in

having now been out of the cult for a few years, it really shocks me about some of the nonsense i used to believe in.

like for instance, christ ruling in the midst of his enemies, but doing so invisibly.. let's let that one sink in for a minute.

you've supposedly got a king who is ruling for a kingdom, but it is an invisible rule.

Magwitch

The beauty of selling an invisible product is that you do not need to prove anything. Genius!

48th ANNIVERSARY of me GOING TO PRISON

by Terry in

i was twenty years old.. as a jehovah's witness, i had no career path ahead of me, no college to attend, and no prospect for my future other than.

knocking on people's doors and scanning the horizon for signs of armageddon:).

i was engaged to a 17-year-old witness girl i had met at the mineral wells assembly.. what was our future together?

Magwitch

Terry, I am visiting my brother in MPLS this weekend. Just last night the two of us were reminiscing over what a beautiful book that was. Thank you once again for sharing your story with us.
