Short Intro

by ZeusRocks in

i can only say i'm new here in the sense i've just been able to join.

i have actually followed this forum for over a year now.

i've tried joing several times but must have been doing something wrong, so i thought i'd try one more time and it finally worked.. i was a born-in jw.

in sweden we are now checking the attendance/baptisms ratio at some conventions by simply divide the number of baptisms to the attendance number.. far ago in the 70-ies it was like 5% before 1975. last year we was around 0,55%.

(quite like the italy in fact ).

this year we have counted only 2 conventions this far.

Hi!

In sweden we are now checking the attendance/baptisms ratio at some conventions by simply divide the number of baptisms to the attendance number.

Far ago in the 70-ies it was like 5% before 1975

Last year we was around 0,55%

(quite like the Italy in fact )
2009: 338/70000 (0,48%)

This year we have counted only 2 conventions this far
0.5% and a whooping of only 0.2% at one!

This cult is on the way down here for sure!

How are the numbers at yours?

Are you an active Jw or an ex-jw?

by XPeterX in

active unbaptised publisher here.you?

(though i already know the answer for some people).

Dold Agenda

I am sure this has come up before but if most members here are DFd, or inactive then why call this site Jehovah´s witness.net? It implies that all are active witnesses here. Shouldn´t it be called FormerWitness.net or something more fitting?

This board actually started as a true Jehovas-Witness site (!)
But when people come together and things beeing discussed with open minds... the board turn into what it is today.

Amazing. if you asked me...

What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.

and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.

so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

Dold Agenda

Ohh maryacclaim i can understand why you have done this.

It's sad... but if you where raised in the troof.. you dont have many ways to go.

Is it so that everyone you know.. is an dub? Then it is hard to come outside.

All alone... friends and social living ment alot to life quality, dont it/they?

(from one who had fade.. and still have the relatives talk and invite your family to parties...)

(but you have to lie sometimes..... but hey.. they had lied to me the whole life.. so what the heck :-) )

Is The Internet The Worst Thing That Could Happen To The Organization?

by minimus in

jw
friends

the witnesses try to demonize the internet.

in your opinion is the internet the biggest problem for the watchtower organization?.

Dold Agenda

Sweden is said to be in the absolute top countries with private Internet-access.
It firmly exploded about 4 years ago.
Now virtually every household has 2mbit+.

JW Sweden Baptist stats:
2007 481
2008 402
2009 312!

What does it say to us? except for the significant drop...

Shall we compare Sweden and US
JW/baptist ratio

US 1.096.502 pubs / 34739 bptzd = 31.6 Witness to accomplish 1 Bptzd.
SWE 22.054 pubs / 312 bptzd = 71.8 Witness to accomplish 1 Bptzd.

It is very hard for them to find new JW:s here...

could it have something to do that it is so easy to find information nowadays?
That the most swedes read english fluently?
That sweden has very much information out at internet from x-JW:s in swedish language?

I dont know.. but something it is...

2009 Annual Worldwide Service Report -- 7.3 Million Publishers

by Joker10 in

china: the number of publishers has increased.

in some parts of the mainland, they can openly go door to door without much interference.

there are actally buildings now used as kingdom halls.

Dold Agenda

Interesting...according to these figs they baptized 276000, which is less than last year
Publishers increased by 188000....where did the missing 88000 go?

They have died.

Take 7,046,419 split that with an average lifetime, why not 70,46 years?

There you have 100.000 statistically

I guess that many of those that have come to the truth (mostly in developing countries?) the last years, is not of that many old people that will die immediately.. = less dead.
