  World population vs Number of JW's where's the growth going?

  by ed60 in

  the rate of growth of publishers has dropped from an average 5.64% per annum over the 15 years prior to 1995, to 2.55% in the 15 years after 1995. had growth remained above 5%, the 4,950,344 witnesses in 1995 would have exceeded 11 million in 2010. instead, there were only 7 million in 2010 - a difference of 4 million people.

  factors on conversion and retention, such as internet education, resulted in growth of 2 million instead of 6 million, just one third of that expected in 1995.. http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics.php.

  i read this and it got me thinking about how much the global population is rising by annually.

  18,000 hours of reported time per convert, plus all the time and effort of printing material, producing websites and running meetings.

  This makes sense only when you realize that the preaching work is mostly NOT about making converts or declaring god's kingdom, but about keeping people busy on a treadmill of activity - a classic cult move.. . .

  Bizarre comment about jw.org at SAD

  by sir82 in

  recently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.

  "and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.

  in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.

  i wanted to know what problems you have learned about dating in the "truth" acording to there policy.

  i feel like you dont really know someone until you live with them.

  also some put on a false personality until they get what they want i.e.

  Short Video - Interviews with Creationists

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this short video demonstrates how faith is impervious to facts.. the contributers are honest about their beliefs but so badly deceived about reality it is quite depressing.

  spot the canards - some of them are jaw-dropping.. pastor peter laruffa exudes, "if somewhere within the bible, i were to find a passage that said two plus two equals five, i wouldn't question what i'm reading in the bible.

  i would believe it, accept it as true, and then do my best to work it out and understand it.".

  If I had seen this video in "the Onion" or Colbert or Jon Stewart, I would have thought it was a parody.

  they claim their schools, literature and teaching are far more superior than any "worldly" education.

  how would you counter that belief?.

  Yes, these are excellent.

  Replace the Mormon terminology with JW "newspeak" and they'd sound exactly like exJW's.
