  I am not apathic friend. I really do get concerned for the former JW here. But I understand God said in the Bible that many would turn from the truth during the last days. So surely it will happen and has happened.

  Well it would be hard to maintain an org and publish and print the materials we read without money. It's why we give whenever we want, their is no requirement to.

  i bet most witnesses could not explain their blood policy, their understanding of the slave, and even simple biblical doctrines....they are an embarrassment to any old timer..

  Their is no bias friend. Only true understanding of the Bible. No Trinity, no hell. No pagan beliefs. (:

  We don't charge a clergy. Just a donation box sitting in a corner. Sometimes it bes months before I put anything in it. Their is no passing of it like in churches.

  2 Shepherd the flock of God under your care, serving as overseers, not under compulsion, but willingly before God; not for love of dishonest gain, but eagerly; 3 not lording it over those who are God’s inheritance, but becoming examples to the flock.

  We still love teaching the truth to whoever will listen. It's been taught in 240 land. So only about 20 more to go. We know though whenever someone doesn't want to hear it, it's not us they are turning down.

  Around 100 billion people have died

  by Funchback in

  according to some, the earth may have 10 billion people living on it by the end of this century.

  there is genuine concern about space and resources.. imagine, then, 100 billion people being resurrected to live on earth.

  some jws will argue that not everyone will be resurrected to earth, including 144,000. imagine 50 billion then, assuming that half of the people who ever lived did something so horrific that they aren't deemed worthy to be resurrected.. jws who are lurking and reading this: where are they going to live?

  We have no idea how many will be resurrected. If God wanted us to habitate more planets or make the Earth larger surely this is something someone with unlimited power could do.

  at a 3-day convention in nairobi, kenya this week 12-2-16 through 12-4-16, they had 70,000+ attendance, and there were 792 baptized (i presume the baptism was yesterday).

  i was amazed to hear this; i guess now we know where the wt's growth is coming from..

  JWs take a page out of the Trinitarian playbook to support the generation of 1914

  by OneGenTwoGroups in

  back in the "good old days", i would look for people in my territory, especially ministers in order to debate the trinity with them.

  it was my pet subject that i had spent many hours over several years researching.

  i was such a good anti-trinity apologist that i was actually disappointed with the trinity brochure when it came out.

  The JW do not teach 2=1. Jesus is the weaker being and isn't God. It's funny how Jesus can tell people in the bible to not worship him-to worship God yet people today still worship Jesus anyway. He also flat out says Jehovah is more powerful than him in numerous scriptures.
