the kingdom of god -- is it pre-announced with outstanding, observable events going before its coming?
jesus said the following,.
at luke 17:20, 21 we read:.
MDS:
Jehovah appropriately DECIDES to give The "Message," The "Report," the "Good News" to the Gentiles, the "nations," appreciative individuals who are clearly more worthy recipients and more responsive, than proud, stubborn, presumptuous "Israel" of our time, Jehovah's Witnesses of our day. These "Gentiles," will number some 200 million strong , in fulfillment of Matt. 24:14, and Mark 13;10 .
Just wanted to know where you got the 200 Million figure from.
Logical
i've recently had a discussion with a witness friend in which she said that jehovah had to have an organization.
if not jehovah's witnesses, then who else could possibly have his approval?.
what i would like to know is if jehovah has always had an organization, who were they?
Dont forget that Jehovah's Witnesses DO NOT get baptised in the Father / Son / Holy Spirit.
The Governing Body replaces all of that.

Well... if you go onto the Bible Research forum, and read the posts by MDS and Bitter Truth, all will become clear

I would consider moving anywhere as soon as I get a job and save some money. But I have got no ties in any other lands, so it looks like i'm stuck here
New Zealand seems quite nice... cant get much farther away.
hey y'all,.
for whatever reason we find ourselves not working on this upcoming monday - have a good one, ok?.
i cannot bring myself to utter the words "merry christmas" just too foreign.

Yes. Im studying with JW's, dressing smartly, attending meetings, commenting, even enrolled on the school. But with serious doubts. Im not baptised either. After what I've found out, I intend to fellowship with them unbaptised.
Its all good.

i found some interesting statistics, some of which you may know, that indicate that the wtbts is in decline.. 1. in the twenty years from 1970 to 1990, the rate of yearly increase dropped from 10% to 6%.
in the last 10 years it has dropped from 6% to about 2%.
since the world population growth is about 1.5% they are only growing at about 1/2 of 1% faster than the population.. 2. in 1999, there were 21 large countries that showed a decline.
