  What does the fact that WT baptism numbers are still high in the pandemic tell us?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  i thought jiles grey response to this question was interesting:.

  "i think that it demonstrates just how ineffective the jehovah’s witnesses’ door to door evangelising is.. in 2019 there were 303,866 people baptised.

  this was during a year when the preaching work was in full swing.. in 2020 there were 241,994 people baptised.

  The baptisms I have seen on zoom are kind of pitiful. Usually just one at a time in a pool in someone's back yard. One was in a large bathtub. No clapping or congratulations like the JWs are accustomed to.

  Leolaia's posts should be collected and printed in a book, they were that good.

  C T Russell's pyramid monument gets taken away by the WTS.

  by Rafe in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just recently the stone pyramid monument at c t russell's grave site was taken away by the wts.. six screens of the watchtower did a public discussion about the removal which may be still on that web site, that's where i heard about it.. it had been recently vandalized such the top head piece was removed and the carved christian cross on the monument was chiseled off.. since the wts owns that grave site, they have the right to do whatever they want to do with it.. my guess is that they will never put it back or redo the damage.. i think they will put it away in a obscure place and cover it, locked up somewhere.. the wts.

  has never been proud or willingly open about that monument for obvious reasons such as being associated in false religion, which they claim they are not and they admonish other christian faiths are.. your thoughts ?

  If God exists, what would be a good reason why he never communicates or helps his creation by intervention?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you have probably heard all kinds of excuses why god doesn’t communicates with his creation or why he doesn’t intervene.. some examples.. no one can see god because he is a spirit.. but we can hear god---yet he chooses not to talk to humanity.. god only communicates with certain people.

  moses, samuel, abraham, etc.

  but there are many people today who also claim that god spoke to them yet we ignore them but believe god spoke to people who lived thousands of years ago and we can’t really verify if that was so.

  A little off topic, but this thread reminds me of a joke my mom used to tell:

  How do we know there is intelligent life in outer space?

  Because they haven't contacted us.

  Most of what he says is pure bunk, in my opinion, but it is interesting. The only thing that maybe has some merit is that the scribes could have possibly used letters from certain words within the text in places, as mnemonic devices or simply to be clever. Some of the Psalms for instance are arranged that each phrase starts with a Hebrew letter in alphabetic order, supposedly so the singers could more easily remember the verses.
