Does the WTBTS release numbers of DF/DA'd?
by RAYZORBLADE indoes anyone know if the wtbts releases the actual number of people disfellowshipped or disassociated in any given year?
not that they'd give the names and their df/da offenses.
i vaguely remember an assembly where some numbers were released regarding the number of persons disfellowshipped for a particular offense, for example:

No way...
I just make a calculation within the past 10 years regarding their growth. They claim that 350.000 getting baptized every year...if you miltiply this number by 10 years that makes another 3.000.000-3.500.000 JW that have join the Borg.
But the WT shows the number of puplishers inluding baptized and not baptized...plus they claim that they have 5.000.000 bible studys(many of them 70% are JW kids)and are publishers...so you can't have an exact idea of the people you are leaving. With this numbers and a rough calculation their number is should be at least 10.000.000. But they have only 6.300.000

If Time were running in reverse would we know it?
by D wiltshire inif "time" is running backwards i dont see how that we would ever know, perhaps some clever physicist could devise an experiment to find out for sure.. some theoreticians have suggested the reason the arrow of time runs from past to future is tied intimately to the expansion of space.
since einstein special theory of relativity we have come to see that "time", space and speed are all relative.
we now more correctly speak of "space-time" instead of just space.

God's Name?
by seeking_truth inanother question for everyone.
i have read through some of the threads, posts or whatever and even though there is a sense of disagreement over witnesses and the society, their way of handling the words of the bible.
i was curious to know if anyone does believe jehovah is his name?

Well the real pronouncation is Yahwe...in the old Testament He is a violent God...Ordering Israelites to kill even babes in their battles in order to take the promised land...
I DON'T accept the idea of this kind of God...Killing of the innocent people and specially babes, makes me turn away from this kind of God

Would you offer Jesus a cigarette?
by Pleasuredome ini know this is going to get some funny responses, but seriously this is a question thats been bothering me recently.
i could never win an arguement about why a christian shouldnt smoke, because someone would always say that alcohol is just as bad, which is true, and jesus drank alcohol.
so alcohol is addictive just like smoking.
