i made a graph of the new members from 2012 to 2013 in all countries that had positive growth, and graphed them against the country's gdp per capita.. .

the general trend is, as expected, less growth the more money there is in a country.

but there were some unexpected results.

to thank you for taking the time to read this, because i feel that it is extremely important.

over the years we have been waring against the watchtower, and our battle field has been the internet.and we have been very successful in establishing discussion forums and online resorces exposing false teachings and we have used youtube to further shed light on the watchtower, we have even written books to this end.. .

yes we have attacked watchtower at its weakest point, the internet and we have been able to do this as small groups and even individualy.

i know nothing about legal matters, but there are those here who are quite keen at these things.. if they changed the no blood teaching, would this open the watchtower society up to litigation?.

Evidence
by ekruks in

2. child-abuse
i am wondering, if brave persons are bringing forth details of painful abuse cases years later, when they have grown up to be adults.... what evidence do the courts convict on?

conti was the only victim in the case?

i doubt there were eye-witnesses, and it's too late to get dna evidence.

The Two Witness Rule breeds Predators.
by quellycatface in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
i have a friend who works in a correctional facility for sex offenders.. there is a brother who is serving a sentence for having sexual relations with a number of under age girls.. due to the "the witness rule" this man has not been disfellowshipped.

his congregation are still supporting him and he receives visits from the prison assigned elder.. i cannot contain my anger.. this is surely breeding predators.. i have probably mentioned this on here before but i wanted to post in this area for emphasis.. .

2. beliefs
ok, i'm inactive..... as for qualification for the rbc, what are the bare minimum requirements.. is it merely to be active, i.e.

go on the ministry one hour a month (or hand in a report saying that?

), or to be in "good standing" does one have to be regular at enduring (all?

24 hour field service marathon ??
by gingerbread in
1. jw
2. friends
field service for up to twenty-four hours non-stop.... it's a bit of a fad in our area with pioneers - the twenty somethings especially.

we've heard from other family members and a jw friend that it's a thing in their part of the country as well.. it sounds like a group decides on a day and then piles into a van or suv to 'work' the territory - 12, 18 and even 24 hours.. anyone else hearing of this?.
