the last four years:.
with all the changes in the 'generation', 'sealing', doctines, etc.
- there have been unexpected [i imagine] jumps in this number.
Nice catch bats in the belfry.
Can you upload the scanned letter?
They already removed the number from their site:

They had the number in the previous years:

Looks someone is afraid of something.
so..who here has examples of where the society printed something in a book or magazine...and then when a newer version of the book or bound volume came out...they changed what they wrote to cover up a mistake or to further a doctrinal change?.
hi guys,.
just wandering if anybody here is or was from romania?.
skip.
Ok, do what you have to do.
And keep us posted.
they make good neighbors, why because they.
stay to themselves..
You think you're better that everyone else.

I'm not.
My 2 cents:
Why are you threatening them for? That they disfellowshiped you? If you're not going to the KH, why do you still care?
If you have family in, business contacts, and want to get back in okay, but if just for spite, you should let it go.
As they say: "Living well is the best revenge".
You should stop harassing them upfront: it will have the opposite effect. It's just what they expect from a person "in Satan's hands".
They will just say:"You see how low you get when you leave Jehovah."
If you want to create a website to expose the teachings of the WTBS, that's good, I myself plan to do so for a while.
If you really want to help them, try to put yourself in their place and try to identify the possible reactions to certain things you're planning to do.
Anyway it's not easy to make them reconsider what they learn several hours a week, but one can only try.

Well, I don't want to be mean, but a guy with 0 posts asking for location information is suspicious.
Are you an elder?
Maybe some here are still active witnesses and are not confortable with revealing their identity.
Anyway search for Romania in the search bar and you'll find some users mentioning Romania.
I'm sure that there are others too but keep this private.
my personal spiritual journey- from watchtower - christianity - agnosticism.
i guess life is a journey and this journey becomes more exited when someone is willing to take that journey.
one of our greek poets wrote: "it is not the destination, but the journey that matters".... my story is very similar like many thousands of ex-jw's around the globe.
Beautiful post. There is much I can relate to.
Best wishes
i was just reading a national geographic and had a thought we can share with jdubs when we get the chance.
if the oceans were not so deep before the flood, why do we have all of these fish that can only live miles and miles beneath the surface of the ocean where the water pressure is insanely high?
if there was a flood, they must have evolved to live there since they would die without all of the water pressure.
Just remebered this:

Has some good ideas but some bad jokes I guess.
If it were more clean I would send it to my JW friends.
