The numbers would be more realistic if the field reports were anonymous. Everyone would be more honest. But since all the judging from the elders and CO's are based on those reports, majority panic and show up on Saturday or Sunday mornings, even if it would be the last thing they would want to do. Fear of man is what propels this group more than fear of God.

2011 preaching results:
Hours preached: 1.7B
New Baptized: 263K
If we do the math, it took about 6,464 hours of preaching to have 1 person baptized in 2011. An average publisher preaches about 10 hours per month, therefore, it takes 1 publisher almost 54 years of preaching to convert 1 person into a jw. This is without subtracting the jw's kids that may almost be half of the newly baptized.
Does the WT still write that door to door preaching is the most efficient way to spread the good news?

HELP! I've stepped in it now... mast head change - JW response!
by NeverKnew inhe's asking if i've read the first page of the new watchtower.. says page 8 admits and exposes the society's mistaken expectations.. says that both mags have been adjusted to reflect the understanding of generation.
asking if it is my position that witnesses have made claims to be inspired prophets.... and saying if it is, maybe *we* can consider together some examples in the bible of others who have had wrong expectations and have gone ahead of god's timetable and see how god handled that..

Old time JW's did some very devout JW's refuse to eat pizza with pepperroni because they believed "blood" was in the pepperroni?
by booker-t ini have never heard this before until i read a life story of an ex-jws and how some jws in the past refused to eat pepperoni pizza because they thought blood was in pepperoni.
i do know some elderly jw sisters would complain about eating steak if it bled while cooking.
has anybody else heard of this pizza nonsense?.

I remember the pepporoni and lecithin ban in the 80's, in Canada. I guess it never caught on anywhere else.
It was a competition on who could come up with the craziest shit, so they can feel righteous.

Very funny video explaining why dying for the sake of refusing blood makes no sense biblically
by cedars ini'm becoming increasingly intrigued by the work of jwfairytale, who posts videos on youtube giving his take on all things jw related.
i don't think his stuff is for everyone.
he's clearly quite emotional about his jw experience, and i can see his language and face paint ruffling the feathers of the more easily offended jws.

This is the best argument that I've seen yet which ridicules WT and the blood issue.
You don't have to present new info to take them down, the WT and their articles do it themselves.
Really good video and post
Thanks

I think you are telling them too much.
In my opinion, they just don't care, the jdubs will think you are crazy and the only outcome for you is that it will get you df'd.
They will see it as an attack on Jehovah's organization. They can't seperate Jehovah from the Watchtower, it's one entity to them.
They will announce that you are no longer a jw. If you're not bluffing, get ready for a long and painful fight.
All the best amigo
