Up-to-date numbers of JWs and DF ones?

by Pams girl in

just curious if anyone has up to date numbers of worldwide active jws?

are there more that have left than are currently in?

they bang on about growth in numbers, but after reading the wtbs numbers heading towards 8 million, other threads have suggested its more like just over 7 million.. also being a newbie, and isolated due to illness, can anyone tell me about china and the work thats not happening.

Wanted to get reinstated... Almost ready to give up

by headisspinning in

jw
friends

i'd like to hear from anyone who was disfellowshipped but fully intended to go back as soon as possible and how that worked out or didn't.

i'd like to hear how soon you went back to meetings, how many letters requesting reinstatement you wrote, how you were treated, and how long it took you to get bitter and jaded.... or in the off chance you had a positive experience, what exactly happened.. really struggling here... thanks!.

Keep going, open your heart, enjoy the book! I know you feel guilty over what you did, but youre only human, we ALL mess up at sometime. You keep going at your own pace, you've come a long way already and ARE making progress. Keep reading, keep researching, keep sharing with your husband. One day, very soon, it will click into place and your new life, free of guilt, shame, cover-ups and lies will await you! You've so much to look forward too, dont stop now whatever you do. Its going to get tough, but stand by each other and you will get through this. Post here too, as many people care about you and want to offer support. And guess what? Just as Ive recently found out, God still luvs ya! You dont need the JWs honey x

Did find some stats, but they were from 2006. Everything in decline, except the time spent in the FS, thats increasing for every publisher. Also, JW have the biggest turnover of any religion, ever. Just curious about the rest of the stats I guess, anyone know of a link? Thanks x

The rate of growth seems to be really slowing, anyone got an up to date chart or something similar to show this?

Cheers guys

Does anyone out there understand how i feel?

by TimothyT in

my name is tim, im 23, from the uk, and im currently a jw!.

ok... to cut a long story short... i love serving jehovah but ive begun now to embrace my sexuality as a gay man.. although im still attending the meetings, praying to jehovah and trying my hardest, i can no longer lie to myself about my sexuality.. i have had enough of feeling depressed and confused now - its killing me!!!.

does anyone else know what i feel like?

Pams girl

Hi Tim, a belated welcome from me, another newbie, from Wales. I feel for you, and feel your anguish and pain in your initial post. Im so glad youve been feeling better emotionally now youve embraced who you are. God loves you and everything about you. We are individuals, not robots. I read somewhere recently "Denying how we feel is like denying being real..." ok, kind of cliched, but true nevertheless.

You sound like a warm, caring, and sensative man. Soon, you will feel strong enough to break away from this cult, and realise you still have God in your life. You will never look back, you will fly..........so many wonderful things await you Tim, the life you deserve, the life thats not dictated by rules and regulations, bounded in secrecy, cover-ups, and lies. Time to be free Tim, enjoy.

THE KINGDOM HALL............THE FACTORY WHERE JEHOVAHS WITNESSES ARE MADE!

FREEDOM TIM....FREEDOM!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
