2008 Service Reports 236 Lands preached......No China...No Korea
by RULES & REGULATIONS in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the 2008 service reports shows that jehovah's witnesses preached in 236 lands.

the preaching work is banned in communist countries such as china(which have over 1.3 billion people) and korea.

there might be underground preaching work but not enough to even cause a concern.. my question: how does the wts explain what will happen to all these people who will never hear their message?

Coming to the Father
by wobble in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this is for the christians on the site really,but all comments are welcome.. jesus said that "no one comes to the father,except through me", my understanding of those words is that we need to ask jesus to be our saviour,to accept,or adopt, us as sons and daughters,and thus become our eternal father,and thus we become brothers and sisters of christ and hence can have a relationship with almighty god.. i may have missed something so please add or correct me,but if the above is in essence correct no jdub of the " great crowd" can have a relationship with god,as they are not christs brothers.. this leads me on to ask,if you do believe as i do (as above) what can i do about the lords evening meal,i do not feel at present that i can go to any church,i will not go to a k.h,and i am alone in my belief as to family,so have any of you celebrated it alone?

and if so isn't that really weird?.

love.

TO CLARIFY A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT MY PROJECT.....
by Mary in
1. jw
2. friends
first of all, i want to thank everyone for all the words of encouragment and compliments i've received regarding the project i put together.

not only will it (hopefully) help some family members to see that something's not right regarding many of the wt's doctrines, but it was therapeutic for me to do as well.

like many other ex-witnesses, i was emotionally devastated and extremely angry when i discovered that this religion was not "the truth" as was drilled into our brains from day one.

Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?
by flipper in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

what about the thousands that don't get caught?
