Obessed with organizational growth?
by sabastious init could be argued that the jehovah's witness religion is obessed with it's own growth.
what kind of non-profit organization puts general growth in such high esteem?
non-profit companies are suppose to have a mission; a purpose.

thats why they have so much of a concentrated effort at preaching in african and spanish territories around the world. there is alot of growth! the only thing is that there's not alot of ??money to be made. although they will still get the herds of sheep to band together to build a kingdom hall. the catholic influence there is quite strong so i imagine they make a customary donation everytime they attend. id say the western countries are pretty much stagnant if not slightly down. they are going after the low paying high volume with the hispanic and african population. the money streams in nonetheless.

Earthquakes....
by SatoriCE inthe topic of earthquakes marking the "last days" was brought up with interactions i have had with a few different witnesses.
can someone please explain the exact significance of earthquakes that jw's have?!
can you please also include any links to actual facts that contradict their views of earthquakes.

its quite simple. earthquakes have always been a part of this world going back many many years before the wts even came into existense. the thing before is that they didnt have the technology and communications as we have today. 1000 years ago, even 100 years ago what was happening in one part of the world did not get relayed as it does today. the flow of information today is instantaneous...so yes we are always bombarded with reports of natural disasters all over the world which seems to fit the wts view on this. is there actually increased activity...not really. there are just as many earthquakes now then before...we just hear more about it. google major earthquakes in history and youll find a boatload of major disasters which occurred in history but that you and i have never heard about much less someone on the other end of the world. you can also google the national hurricane centre and youll see that the reported earthquakes are pretty much the same.

Only the Governing Body is the FDS
by Listener ini hadn't noticed this before but the governing body is actually saying that they only are the faithful & discreet slave.. watchtower 2009 6/15 para 18 .
similarly, today a limited number of anointed men have the responsibility of representing the slave class.
they make up the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.

Why are witnesses being "Persecuted" in certain countries?
by finallyfree! infor the most part this "persecution" is confined to countries where political balance can change on the drop of a dime.
watchtower witnesses who go door to door will speak of their religious views which include not voting or supporting the political parties.
where the watchtower control a percentage of the population through their kingdom halls and they turn people off from voting they have in effect formed their own type of independant political organization.

hmmm...if i were a radical leftist political party, id almost say they are asking for it. theres a difference between serving god and doing what you percieve to be his will and stupidly putting your life on the line for the wts...my 2 cents

Arizona massacre -- Where does JW line of self defense get crossed?
by FatFreek 2005 injehovah's witnesses are peaceful folks, just ask them.
having been one till many years ago i used to know the stock answers to questions about that fine line between being peaceable and defending oneself.. this came to front and center during the past several days with that horrific arizona shooting where some 7 folks have lost their lives.
it could have been more if it weren't for several onlookers ganging up on the perpetrator after he emptied the first magazine of bullets, getting ready for his spare magazine.. these onlookers instinctively became aggressive and restrained the perpetrator, one of them choking the man when needed, etc., and etc.. heroes, all of them, in my opinion.. none of them remained passive, thinking that this man wasn't really a threat to them personally so why get involved.

jws in general are taught to be forgiving and turn the other cheek so to speak. jehovah will take care of it...and its not up to man to exact judgment...(even though they judge the hell outta people)...that is the typical response a jw would give you. i had the same discussion with my jw parents about certain wars like ww1 and ww2 when hitler was going for world domination...if nobody stood up to the nazis, who knows what kind of world we'd be living in now!! of course i was reminded that jehovah would have never let that happen. lol! its kinda ironic as my dad always told me "never let anyone walk over you"...funny how the mind works when we dont use it...

the cong i left never cancelled meetings for crappy weather. sometimes to the point that they would be "bloodguilty" if someone died returning home. some of the more "faithful" witnesses who never missed a meeting and bragged that they were there would likely be the poor victim.

justinfrombethel: you drove the point home. other groups are getting the same treatment. sometimes theres a time to keep quiet though, as it says in the good book. the wts doesnt give a shit about the regular jws...sending them out in the service to the wts, having them promote their own agendas...oh well i guess in spiritual warfare you will have casulties. the wts dont send their young men to war, but theyll gladly offer them up as martyrs for the organization.
