  The arrogance of the "True Believer"

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  both political and religious true believers often distinguish themselves by their limitless arrogance towards people who dare hold different opinions from them.

  every thing has to be done on their terms; people who think differently cant expect to have the same rights as those who consider themselves true believers.

  in this way a elite is created a kind of spiritual master race.

  those of us who have frequented h2o and have otherwise encountered our fundie friends from the usa have many times been reminded of their strange arguments and ideas.

  all of them seem to long back to biblical times and particularly the times of the old testament.

  they have got the idea that those days were so wonderful when everybody was adhering to biblical morals, values and such.

  'Changes That Disturb People' Awake 4/22/70

  by ISP in

  2. friends

  one of the reasons is that people are disturbed by what is happening in their churches.

  yes, millions of persons have been shocked to learn that things they were taught as being vital for salvation are now considered by their church to be wrong.

  have you, too, felt discouragement, or even despair, because of what is happening in your church?

  JW Decline

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found some interesting statistics, some of which you may know, that indicate that the wtbts is in decline.. 1. in the twenty years from 1970 to 1990, the rate of yearly increase dropped from 10% to 6%.

  in the last 10 years it has dropped from 6% to about 2%.

  since the world population growth is about 1.5% they are only growing at about 1/2 of 1% faster than the population.. 2. in 1999, there were 21 large countries that showed a decline.
