according to the "new light" the faithful slave class appeared after jesus came 1914 (rather 1918 he inspected the temple) and was bestowed with assigement to provide spiritual food.. there are a number of problems with this new concept:.
how did russel and co found out about certain unique teachings diffferent from mainstream christendom?.
option 1) apparently by himself, as there was no fds at his time.
Concept faithful discreet slave.
It`s a Parable, a Fictional Story.
If Jesus had told a fictional story about the "Guardians of the Purple Universe".
You can be damn sure The WBT$ GB 'Rock Star" Popes would claim to be:
"Guardians of the Purple Universe"
Because they`re Idiots!...
there was one guy in our hall who got df'd 3 times, on the fourth time he never came back.
i wonder if they told him not to come back?
.
How many times can you be DF'd?
As many times as you break WBT$ Rules, get tossed out and are dumb enough to go back.
i am translating jwfacts to spanish.
i am doing the "statistics" section.here are two graphs that show that the statistics have never been worse for the watchtower:quantity of hours required for 1 baptism: note how low it went in 1974-1975, and note that 2016 is much higher than the slump of 1978... about double, to be exact.
2016 was a historical record in this statistic (higher is worse for watchtower).. this stat is the baptisms as a percentage of the publisher average.
all the arguments that suggest the Org will continue to survive comfortably seem to mostly consist of "there will always be enough victims to keep it afloat".....Vidiot
They`re not all victims.....Crazy as it may seem.
Most of them are JW`s, who are happy right where they are.

hmmmm...yesterday my long life friend called my landline after many years of silence.
now the shock has subsided, i am wondering if i can forgive and forget the fact she chose not to keep in touch throughout a time in my life which was very stressful.
sadly, i gathered that she is still involved with jehovah’s witness faith.
Has anyone else recently been contacted by a once close JW friend or relative? Could this be a new JW tactic?
Ya...
Every once in a while the WBT$ has a big push for JW`s to contact people who have walked away.
A relative of mine was recently contacted.
It`s always the same old line:
"Have you noticed how bad the world is getting lately?.....Blah-blah-blah."
My reply is:
"The world will always look like shit, when your head is stuck up your ass."
That seems to be a conversation stopper.

WatchTowers/JW`s View of The Outside World.
i hate to say this, but given my own experience as a jw for almost 3 decades, i am beginning to believe the average jw will continue to look to and be guided by the gb regardless of whether they are right or wrong.. despite all the scandals and negative media attention the watchtower organisation is receiving, life seems to go on as normal in jw land.
it's truly bizarre!!.
clearly, the gbs tactic of mostly hiding away from the media is clearly working for them.
The average Witness will continue to follow Watchtower leadership whether right or wrong.
what simple pleasures do you enjoy since leaving watchtower?
here's some of mine, in no particular order:.
a cigar: i dont smoke cigarettes at all, but i do enjoy a good cigar from time to time.

They'll always have followers though because there will always be people who are looking to be led by a group like them.....Simon
"Why Would You Think For Yourself,
When This Rock Does It For You?!"
i bet head office has already got printed material to exploit the masses.
war and god go hand in hand..
With a war in Korea ,jws will exploit turmoil for an increase in meeting attendance
The Watchtower will exploit any and every disaster.
To advance their DoomsDay Message.

"Only the WatchTower Can Save You!"
"set your heart on spiritual treasures.
" i have been thinking about this during the past week.
i always knew that there were no treasures on earth.
"Set Your Heart on Spiritual Treasures."
Like:
Buying and developing more real estate for the WBT$.
So they can sell it, keep your donated money and the profit from the sale.

... that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not be destroyed but have everlasting life” (john 3:16).. it just occurred to me that if parents were to follow this scripture, they would put their children to death if their children don’t obey/agree with them.

“For God so love the world …
If I just observe what goes on around me, I can easily finish that sentence.
