Wow, I'm glad there are people here who are on hand to mark our work. I'm assuming you mean how many, the answer is that there are currently eight brothers faithfully carrying out the vital work of shepherding the worldwide flock of Jehovah's Witnesses. These humble servants are...

i think most of our imaginations of the new world was probably nothing like the watchtower reality.
after all, we jws are very good at avoiding uncomfortable truths!
you can tell micheal jackson was a certain type of jehovahs witness.
I didn't see Michael Jackson surviving it, but then I didn't see myself surviving it either. Armageddon was always something that the better JWs were going to get through, not the lowly sinful ones like me. Plus I was never baptised, which is a prerequisite for survival.
do you support socialism?
is it something that you would want in your country?.
This article explains it quite well. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/643000-bankruptcies-in-the-u-s-every-year-due-to-medical-bills/
The long and short of it seems to be that the number is probably less than 500,000 a year, but that there are certainly that many every few years, at least. It's certainly not a good idea to get seriously ill in the US unless you're doing well financially, or at least have good insurance.
i saw john cedars show last night about when he visited the headquarters and this was mentioned.. this is the first i heard of this.

How much of that knowledge is useful in the modern age though?
threads about this have been made before, but none have been made for a few years.
i was very much on the fence with this one, i never really cared.
but i became curious recently, having had a few interactions with street preachers.

I imagine it's because these other religions no longer exist, so no one has a vested interest in proving they are historically factual in any way.

No, he was still in high school when he died.
Thank you, but are there really people here who are still in, as in mentally in? I thought the society forbid fellowship with apostates.

He's coming back with his dad to beat up all the people who were mean to him in high school, you can't blame him for that.
The bible is full of mythical characters with convoluted histories that make no sense. Moses's life looks so contrived that paradoxically it almost feels bizarre to think he was an invented character, but he almost certainly was, as were Noah, Job, Daniel, etc. Jesus may be based on someone, even Noah was probably based on some noble farmer who saved his family during a flood. But none of them are real in the way that are presented in the stories. It doesn't really matter if the men existed ultimately, because it's not the men that people believe in, it's the myth.
Were David and Solomon real? Probably. But were they kings of a great nation? I highly doubt it.
Are we really so petty here that we'll down-vote someone for making a joke?
I swear some of you, though you may have left the religion, are still very much stuck in the stuffy, humourless mindset of the JWs. Perhaps you ought to just do us all a favour and rejoin.
thought you might like to know that during a visit to london yesterday, the jw's were conspicuous by their complete absence.
admittedly it was a tuesday in february, but myself and my ex jw friend thought we would see at least one or two trolleys in their usual haunts, but nothing.
we checked out the area around westminster station where we have talked to jws before, but there was no sign.
I live in London and I see them all the time. You just have to go to the wrong places.
