Modern Day Governing Body Members Do Not Go "Door To Door" or Informal Witnessing! Why?

by RottenRiley in

what sorrow awaits you!

for you say that it means nothing to swear by gods temple, but that it is binding to swear by the gold in the temple.

20when you swear by the altar, you are swearing by it and by everything on it.

Ultimately this is all hearsay and rumour.

Not for me, it isn't.

I know for a fact that at least one GB member is NEVER seen in service, and only makes an appearance at a meeting every three months or so.

I dont understand. Is it 2 days 3 hours, each? Or 2 days 1.5 hours each? Or 1 day for 3 hours?

I suspect it will be something like the Annual Meeting: a three-hour long program Saturday morning that will be simulcast live to Ass Halls, followed by a series of rebroadcasts over the balance of the weekend.

Have had this out on my desk to watch for a couple weeks now. . .

My wife refuses to watch it. With what she does know (or suspect) with regards to TTATT, I think she thinks it will push her over the edge!

They are indeed laying it on thick in this, the 100-Year Anniversary of the Invisible Kingdom.

First the Annual Meeting w/"New" Bible; then the International Conventions this summer; "special" campaigns for "memorial season" (DUCK SEASON!!! WABBIT SEASON!!!!) and something during the summer, too; the super-duper building project in USNY; now this.

How long can they maintain the fog-and-mirrors/endless treadmill of activity before people get antsy?

PIXEL - thank you for posting this. My wife is always impressed I know the content of these letters before they are read!

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

jw
friends

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.
