by the way, happy new year to all.. so, i'm wondering, if all the current global population converted to jwism what would happen to the approximately 300,000 births and 150,000 daily deaths?.

and, where are the 'false gods' today and where is yahweh nowadays?.

just my mind wanderings.. oh, and if the governing body has the global solution, why aren't they preaching to world leaders directly?

Its a cult, don't expect much from them.

there are a few active jws i know (separate, in different areas) who basically celebrate new years, having a party to watch the ball drop, posting about it on social media, one even saying literally "happy new year" .

but most other jws seem to not want to point out the elephant in the room.

has anybody else seen this, or ever seen it turn judicial?

Unbelievable

just received this on a very excited note from someone who is pimi.this is how some people start their year 2019.. very happy to say that the year 2019 marks for us 100 years out of darkness from babylon the great!.

additionally, it marks the 105th year of christ's rule in heaven (1914 a.d.), 2,021st year since jesus was born on earth (2 b.c.e.

), 4,391st year since the deluge (2370 b.c.e.

If you take 20 out of 2019 and subtract the 19 from 20 you get 1. Which represents one more failed interpretation to fall this year!

Library now cleared out

by UnshackleTheChains in

well, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.

during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.

i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.

In 50 years most here will be gone, and so goes access to these dying books that tell the truth about the org. Someway need to get this information into the cloud to out survive us and our overlapping generation.

Its a one way street with the "organization", like if you call the service department they will ask your name and your congregation, but if you ask the brother for his name, he says "I can't tell you that"

Question for PIMOS but all welcome

by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

so once pimo how do you deal with going to the meetings, ministry, social getotgethers, conventions assemblies?.

for one you know it is all off key,.

two your 2 hours or more so just wasted (not counting the time getting ready,travelling etc).

One small thing Ive noticed that has been changed is their music is getting a pentecostal makeover, making some of the uber JWs sway and pretend to be directing a choir. Also, when they announce to stand up (if you are able) they have a definite pause before giving out the number, seeing if you are obedient to just stand there for a few seconds, not like before when they announced the song # and then said stand (if you are able). Just a small cult control maneuver .

Saddam Hussein wanting to have some other dictator follow in his foot steps, went to the jewish hospital and collected all the jewish babies fore skins. He then took them to his farm and planted them, hoping to raise a few dic tators.
