  why would an organisation that knows so much about numbers and their use in the bible choose to develop their structure around the number 6?.

  The Statistical End Of The Disciple-Making Work?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you guys with the stats feel free to correct me but it appears to me that we are within a hairsbreadth of the statistical end of the preaching work (as a disciple making activity).. if the world rate of publisher increase is 1.9% - and the estimated world population increase is 1.09%, then we are extremely close to the point at which the increase of the jw organization is entirely due to making babies.

  the work of gathering disciples from the public has ended statistically.. metatron.

  On the Eve of 2013, Predictions

  by breakfast of champions in

  2. friends

  not predictions for 2013 per se, but a couple i could see happening in the not-too-distant future:.

  the society takes the hundred year anniversary of 1914 head-on with more spin and disinformation.

  already laid the groundwork with the "100 years ago" feature in the new yearbook.

  JW's are NOT Dedicated to the ORGANIZATION!

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower society claims that jehovah's witnesses are not dedicated to the watchtower organization!.

  this claim is made in the quotes below.. however, how can this be true, while at the same time, all jehovah's witnesses are baptized in the name of the "spirit-directed organization"?.

  the watchtower, july 1st, 1970, page 404:.

  finding the lord...versus finding yourself

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have noted many who are ex jw but now are 'born again' or have found the 'lord' telling how wonderful life is now.... i mean no disrespect to those who claim this, and are happy, i can understand i guess, leaving the wt but still wanting to serve 'god' but i just can't come at it.

  we all know the story... life sucked, left the watchtower, found jesus, lifes great again.... what about my life?

  some of you already know i am not christian and in fact are more anti god/religion than ever.. i was depressed, couldn't live up to the rules, faded out fast, left wife, lost kids, lost every single friend of 30 years, lost every material thing save the clothes on my back, lonely hermit for two years, adultery, disfellowshipped, crazy girl friend, one night stands... you might say life went down the toilet and i needed saving from myself.. wrong!.

  TRINITY Challenge for JW's, Unitarians and Anyone Else

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  trinity challenge using only the new world translation of the holy scriptures -- let us debate and reason on the scriptures about whether god almighty is a trinity, or is only one person.. on another thread, bane said that we know for a fact immediately that nearly all religions other than jehovah's witnesses are false because almost all of them believe in the trinity.

  and bane claims he can "out-scripturize" anyone with the help of jehovah.

  Passion of the [Irony].

  by confliction in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just wondering.... why do we jw's make such a big deal about jesus dying on a pole, as opposed to a cross?.

  the original word, albeit, can lean either way.

  and seems in favor of a pole rather than a cross.
