  Was not ever in that congregation, but recognize the name and am familiar with the Nicholson pedophilia scandal/crimes via my wife and her family.

  Last I heard, Nicholson was DFd for boinking some pioneer sister but has been attending meetings faithfully like a good JW.

  I agree with SCRATCHME. . . FB might be a better starting point.

  Interesting list, FRED. . .

  Never thought about it this way before seeing your list, but it is really fascinating how "apostates" are ranked higher than Satan/demons especially since Satan/demons are the original and most powerful apostates ever (according do JWs).

  Following from this, it's funny how JWs are told not even to look at/read/listen to apostate words; yet apostate words spoken by Satan himself are sprinkled throughout the bible. . . . .

  I'm most shocked that:

  1) they now report % increase/decrease (they used to report simply "% increase" with a "-" sign to indicate decrease

  2) No more 0s or _s but reporting to tenths of a percent e.g., -0.3 percent decrease rather than a _

  Why bother?

  284000 baptized in 2017

  by jw-verite in

  seen in the 03/2018 watchtower study :.

  "during the 2017 service year, more than 284,000 “rightly disposed” individuals symbolized their dedication to jehovah by water baptism.".

  No surprise if there's a bit of a spike this year in baptism/publisher numbers with all the political turmoil. The constant narrative in the news feeds right into JW's fears.

  I was thinking the same thing. My BIL has cut his working hours and is now pioneering as he believes Trump will somehow bring "the end."

  Not a huge fan of Trump myself, but I don't think that's gonna happen (and if it does it will have nothing to do with the bible/god/the great trib/armageddon/etc.).

  "we would never deliberately distort a quotation"

  by ttdtt in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  omg my head exploded!in this months broadcast - splian goes off on how much care the wt in making sure its facts are correct, and how they make sure their quotes are not taking from people who have a bad reputation or have an agenda.

  and that the make sure its always in context!.

  they are such liars!.

  You know, before seeing this video, I would have believed that they don't "deliberately" distort quotations.

  I used out of context quotes all the time in my public talks, and I had no idea this was dishonest or wrong since this is what the society did!

  But to create a video that gives EXPLICIT EXAMPLES of distortions they have actually used (citing evolutionists, atheists) and then to say "we would never want to take these quotes out of context" -- they know exactly what they're doing.
