having been out of the loop for a while on here, it dawned on me that the figure of memorial partakers has risen substantially from when i was a jw.. i think i bowed out at around 8500 in 2006.. can anyone briefly explain what the main reasons for this increase are and if it is ever discussed among jw's because if i remember correctly, the figure should be going down, not up.. thanks.. j.

A lot of the JWs I knew were borderline alcoholics. Why do you think a lot of congs use grape juice instead of wine?

What's the difference between an apostate and a partaker? Most R&F JWs view partakers as demented or mentally unstable. That's the reason remaining 144,000 is increasing, not decreasing. The only difference they'll say hello to an 'anonited' person.

so, this a long story but i'll try to keep it short.

I remember going to an assembly (in Australia 2004 or 2005?) where a member of the GB was speaking. He mentioned WT UN membership in front of 60,000. He said something to the effect of someone had accused the organization of being a UN member, and that it was only to gain access to the UN library resources.

No one seemed to even question it. The only thing I heard was something about apostates creating "these stories".

Catholics know more about WTS history than most JWs do!

by tornapart in

this is a very concise and i would say accurate history of the wts and given a much more kindly and sympathetic examination than the catholics have ever received from the wts.. i'm impressed.. http://www.catholic.com/tracts/history-of-the-jehovahs-witnesses.
