  Yes I agree with some posts, you Americans and Canadian need to stop winging about the price of Gas. It is dirt cheap in your countries.

  Can anyone tell me why JWs as a whole are so shy of making a success of themselves within the work/business enviroment?

  hi everyone its ben a few years since my last post, would like to extend greetings to old and new members.

  the events that has happened over the last few years must be of great concern to the gb for example: .

  jws have always maintained that they are the most hated religion in the world, and yet when i have asked the question "which religion do you hate the most" to many of my friends the common answer is muslims, they do not even deliniate between the extreme factions and the mainstream.. the second major concern for the gb is the growth of jws i left almost 6 years ago and still there is no growth in real terms for them, still around the six million mark i believe, and yet i read an article the other day that stated the mormon religion is the fastest growing religion in the world, with 11 million members.

  Hi everyone its ben a few years since my last post, would like to extend greetings to old and new members.

  The events that has happened over the last few years must be of great concern to the GB for example:

  JWs have always maintained that they are the most hated religion in the world, and yet when I have asked the question "which religion do you hate the most" to many of my friends the common answer is MUSLIMS, they do not even deliniate between the extreme factions and the mainstream.

  The second major concern for the GB is the growth of JWs I left almost 6 years ago and still there is no growth in real terms for them, still around the six million mark I believe, and yet I read an article the other day that stated the Mormon religion is the fastest growing religion in the world, with 11 million members. Were not the 2 religions started around the same time?

  The other concern for them must be the true identity of the King of the North. Who is the king of the north? are they ever going to comment on it? or is it simply the fact they do not know. Just imagine though they came out with a statement that the Al-queda was the current king of the north. Well I beleive that terroism in whatever form is the true king of the north.

  It seems that USA /Briton as the king of the south is only concerned these days with fighting terroism.

  May I apologise in advance if these threads have already been covered.

  wouldn't it be so funny if we all gave the name of our presiding overseer just to see if anything is said later in the cong?

  and to see if he reads the message here?

  you don't have to give the name of the congregation if you don't want to.. my po is bristol.

  If You Weren't A Witness, What Would You Be Today?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of us are or were witnesses because we were born into the religion.

  others became witnesses because they really thought it was the truth.

  so many wish that they never had a jehovah's witness come to their door or their parents' door.

  Simon Now you know that rugby is a sore subject with us welsh at the moment, as indeed it was with you English during the 70s and early 80s. I suppose it is as sore as your cricket, but there again on aggregate we are 1 game ahead of you English, and of course we have been allowing you to catch up so that we can play on an even keel.
