that article about jehovah's witnesses having the lowest retention rate for born ins keeps popping up every now again ... i'm just curious if any of you have noticed that this is actually the case.
in the congregation that i grew up in, i'm going to say that 95% of the young people in their teens to mid twenties are either regular pioneering, regular auxiliary pioneering, serving in foreign language congregations or where the need is greater.
both of my younger sisters are regular pioneers - and the young people in their hall even organize 8 pm to midnight service on friday nights of their own accord.

isn't that agaist WT policy... meetings not sanctioned by the GB are strictly taboo... That won't last.. neither will the 95% pioneers.. at some point slinging magizines door becomes fruitless and very tiresome..IMO
for example, they pride themselves in what they don't believe such as immortal souls, the trinity, hellfire, etc.. some exjws still believe it is the "truth" and support the basics.. .
no.... nothing that is based on the bible do I give any credibility....
fortunately, i don't have an arrest record.. but i was arrested one day walking through a parking lot when a young woman was struggling to exit her low-slung sports car with no knickers on..
not as far as you know...............
just a clarification please.
some posters on other threads talked about "obedience" being an important factor to get circuit assembly and district assembly parts.
i don't fully understand.

evidently there is still a surplus at the Kingdom Hall
just a recap.. i posted a thread yesterday about an exchange of e-mails with a well known and respected elder and c.o.
sibstitute in a spanish circuit somewhere in the u.s. the man is about 50, raised in the truth, belongs to a family where all men are at least elders.
he is proud to have forsaken his dream of becoming a doctor to serve jehovah.
ask him if he's found the truth in the WT publications ... which of these two opposing statements is TRUE
the laws of health dictates that if we abuse our body and neglect our diet and health, we pay a price in our bodies.
our health deterioriates and we get sick and diseased.
its like the law of gravity.
women are perfect.. in my eyes

why don't angels suffer from death after they transgressed.
heres a clue or two... it's all hubris
a publisher in a congregation doesn't represent the watchtower organisation (due to legal reasons/insurance etc) .
they just represent themselves as individuals.
so why are publishers supposed to hand in their reports to the congregation/wts?
placing magazines ...... is not preaching...
you're not a minister... you're a peddler
it's not a personal anything...... it's a lie.. you are a Watchtower drone..they just don't want any personal resposibility for themselves!!!
okay first i'd like to point out that i'm not a book worm and i probbaly don't have much experience when it comes to the bible.
i just don't understand god's pourpose and the jws point of view.
fisrst, if god is love and kindness, couldn't he give a second chance to adam and eve?
including angles (like Satan)
but their sins don't cause death.. jehovah is going to Kill them, if he didn't they wouldn't die .. so why the difference?
jehovah didn't kill... Adam... he died do to his sin.. angels sin.. yet they live for a very long time .. and get to continue to mislead man .. or continue to sin .. why that sounds like an unjust God to me..
or maybe it's just a made up story
