JW.Org data

to think they have hung the blue and white sign on every building they own in the world and that this was a publicity campaign with the presumed backing of the god of the universe....... it's not going well.. despite the 8.5 million followers, who through design have to visit the site......it isn't even in the top ten..... top fifty..... top one hundred ......top two hundred visited sites globally.. users on average click through 7 pages per visit and don't stay long, averaging about a minute a page.. as for the data on its search over time 'jw.org' is now googled globally at a rate less than 25% of its peak and is usually associated for a search for the daily text.. .

between this and the carts, the only message getting through to real people is 'child abuse' and that woman from king of queens taking an interest!.

i sincerely think we are seeing evidence of what has been anecdotal decline...... waited long enough for it!.

Its a JW delusion like so many others.

I had a JW friend who is 1/2 in 1/2 out and still will talk to me tell me once "that JW.org is the envy of the world" (fyi he is a programmer and should know better), I had to take him to task on it and ask him what evidence does he have to say that, and what about the site is any better than a nice blog.

Of course there was none and he recanted.

slimboyfat - what it does say - is that NEW people are not continuing to go to the site, or that spike would continue. It shows that most of the users are long term uses (JWs) and there is not a steady influx of new people on the site.

matt 28: 19 is the year text.

new understanding on joel ch 2 who are the locusts?.

there is a new building addition to warwick in the works.

iwantoutnow

Can`t Jehovah God/Holy Spirit get anything right in the first place ? Why is there always a new understanding of something they have been preaching for years previously ,doesnt that mean they were teaching error for all that time ?And God was happy with that ?

It is the most maddening thing.

god is sooo weak, he cant get his message across the 1st 5 times.

JWs say - well its getting Brighter and Brighter - or
We were not ready for that.

ALL SUCH TRANSPARENT BS Cognitive Dissidence that had me traped for decades.

The Great Tribulation must be at least 3 years away

by BourneIdentity in

since they’ve announced the dates for the next 3 memorials, no talk about this “may be our last one!”.

since they’ve announced the patterson construction project will take 3 years to complete.

let’s also not forget when they designed warwick, they spent money on expensive energy saving technology to save millions in the long run, years and decades in the future.

DofC - BEST MEME EVER!!!!!!

Haa.

As I was fading, I asked a few friend elders a question.

Since they are cutting so many bethelites, why buy and build Warwick?

Why not just expand Walkil some, they have so much land there?

One answer was the funniest.
"I hear that the GB feel Warkwick will be the buildings that will make it through the big A."

That was funny:)

How Long Did It Take To Finally Leave The Organization Once You Realized It Was Really Not The Truth?

by minimus in

it actually took me a few years to finally leave the organization so i was mentally out for a while before i simply stopped all meetings altogether.. how long did it take you to finally make the break?

?.

iwantoutnow

It's hard to pin down exactly when I totally gave up on the WT, but I would say 3 years from around that time till my last meeting.

But it was probably about 4 years of it in the making.

Going from not being able to reconcile science and the bible (like the flood) to not seeing how masterbation, oral and anal sex, or premarital sex could in anyway be looked down on by god.

Then not seeing how god could care about who loved who (homosexuality), since 10% of all life exhibits bi or homosexual activity.

To the realisation (this came early) that there was NO holy spirit acting on anyone, or any intervention at all.

To how can god care about zombies, vampires, pokemon, harry potter, (all fake things) and how they could be harmful to people who love god?

To the GB keep changing their tune, and often going back and forth on the same issue.

To having my mind blow of scriptures I read a million times that show that the god of the bible is much more evil than "satan" OMG the horrible death and destruction he loves!

Then the realization that I wasted about 47 years of my life :(

That kinda sums it up.

Sex before marriage.

by nicolaou in

mrs nic' and i were 16 and 18 years old respectively when we first met at a circuit assembly in corby.

three years later we were married.

we've had a great time, we're very lucky but looking back i can see how crazy it is to put that pressure to marry on teenagers.

iwantoutnow

If only I got the change to Screw (for me girls) as much as the GB has screwed me!!!!!

but never went all the way--even though she begged me to on several occasions

That was my experience too - we petted - and after marriage literally weeks later sex became a guilty shameful thing to her - and it F-ed up the marriage.

I hate all religion!

well its kind of anecdotal right - i know many "wordly" people who have had lots and lots of sex, and they are perfectly fine.

Promiscuity and its woes is something that religion has mainly constructed.

Not like the AMA is saying dont fuck around before marriage to much.

You May Now Embrace the Bride!

by jp1692 in

just yesterday, a pimi jw that i've known for years told me that at the end of a wedding they recently attended in pennsylvania, usa, the "brother" that officiated the ceremony concluded by saying to the bride and groom, "you may now embrace the bride.

no kissing.

just a hug.

NO FUCKING WAY!!!!
