  after all these lo so many years, i just thought of something.

  why this logic didn't occur sooner, i have no idea.

  let me try this on you and see what you think.. all those folks who never heard the truth will be resurrected, right.

  JW Decline

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found some interesting statistics, some of which you may know, that indicate that the wtbts is in decline.. 1. in the twenty years from 1970 to 1990, the rate of yearly increase dropped from 10% to 6%.

  in the last 10 years it has dropped from 6% to about 2%.

  since the world population growth is about 1.5% they are only growing at about 1/2 of 1% faster than the population.. 2. in 1999, there were 21 large countries that showed a decline.

  Serious Question

  by Prisca in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  as we all know the society has very strict guidelines regarding conduct between the sexes.

  in the cong i grew up in, it was so small-minded that if you were single, and seen talking to a member of the opposite sex, you were presumed to be in some sort of relationship with him/her.. sex before marriage is out of the question, with heavy petting also looked down upon.

  dating is a serious affair, with all onlookers expecting engagement/marriage to be the outcome.

  2. current

  just found this info tonight.

  in part it reads:.

  "judge kram rejected metcalf's request for a reduced sentence based on his claims that the counterfeiting operation was "aberrant behavior" because he was a jehovah's witness who was active in charitable causes.".

  New Truths

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a newcomer and have thoroughly enjoyed the last couple weeks communicating with all of you.. i have generally kept abreast of the new truths, but am not clear on some details.

  for example, as of about 1986, college is now ok, but i think it is supposed to be limited to degrees and subjects that are directly job related.

  what are the written and unwritten rules on this subject?.
