Will Jehovah's Witnesses eventually become an African religion?

by LogCon in

are there any statistics to show that proportionally the jw's are growing at a greater rate outside of western countries and, in particular, the african continent?.

if so, anybody's guess ?.....

1] by what year would the organization be predominantly african in membership?.

1] By what year would the organization be predominantly African in membership?

2] Would the white managers of the religion start to manipulate or maneuver matters to keep the Africans a minority? How so?

3] Would the African race eventually take over control and become the managers OR would it be much like the old cotton plantations, with the white minority controlling the black majority?

4] Would the GB love hearing that, though so few whites are accepting the 'truth', that so many blacks are flocking to the organization?

Years ago an elder, who had grown up on a farm, told me that in the 'new system' he was going to have a tractor.

I asked him, "Who is going to make the tractor for you, because I sure ain't?.

He just gave me a dumb look and remained silent.

Why do you come here?

by love2Bworldly in

jw
friends

i come here to learn, but i also come here because it feels like a private club and i'm privy to be a member of the "in" crowd.

it's a great place to socialize.

does anyone else feel that they are a member of a special "club" when they come here, that only some people in this world will understand the jw world?.

LogCon

I come here:

1 - To learn things about the 'organization' that I would never have known otherwise.

2 - To get the perspective of those who have been part of the 'organization', both pro and con.

3 - To see where falsehoods and misinformation have been fed to the 'sheep'.

4 - To understand the historical foundation of the 'organization'.

5 - To give my perspective.

6 - To further the honourable cause of 'truth telling'.

7 - To have a more accurate understanding of the Bible.

8 - To see the comments of certifiable 'wing nuts'.

9 - To sympathize with those who seemingly have been wronged in their treatment by the 'organization'.

10 - To find posters and comments that agree with my thinking.

11 - To fill in the empty evening hours with nothing else to do.

12 - To justify decades of time and energy spent supporting the 'organization'.

13 - To add to the information I feel I need, to figure out 'why I am on this planet and where I am going from here'.

by Darth Fader The Sequel in

we recently were visiting lifelong friends of ours in another state.

these people are uber-devoted jw's.

i mean they are prototypical "witness zombies" who do exactly what the gb tell them to without fail and always with a smile on their face.

Consider the financial devestation of the defendants, who now have to pay the piper. Good times with $ rolling in is over. Doris Nelson heads directly to jail and does not collect $200. The defendants above, now are in the Trustee's gunsights.

So, the bad news has already come to some.

Example # 1. Paul and Dianne Cooper have a judgement awarded against them of $2,799,426.00 PLUS $59,207.86 per annum since 2009, PLUS costs etc. From this kind of debt it is impossible to flee. No bankruptcy protection for them. Unless they have a great deal of money or assets to liquidate, this will stick to them for a very long time. It may suck up everthing they have and leave their children with nothing. Death may be the only escape. The funny thing about people who make easy money is that they rarely make wise investments, thereby increasing the value, like the wise slave. Usually big money in leads to big money out on extravagances, luxuries and frivolous spending. We do not gloat over their misfortune. It must be viewed as a very strong and striking lesson for the rest of us.

1. Plaintiff, Bruce P. Kriegman, solely in his capacity as court appointed Chapter 11 Trustee for Debtor LLS America, LLC, is hereby awarded Judgment against defendants Paul and Diane Cooper, jointly and severally, as follows: a. Judgment $2,799,426.00; b. Plus prejudgment interest from July 21, 2009 to January 21, 2014 at the federal rate of .47% per annum $59,207.86; c. Plus taxable costs in the amount to be determined by the Court; d. Plus post-judgment interest from the date of Judgment until fully paid at the federal rate of 0.13% per annum (28 U.S.C. § 1961);

Example #2

1. Plaintiff, Bruce P. Kriegman, solely in his capacity as courtappointed Chapter 11 Trustee for Debtor LLS America, LLC, is hereby awarded Judgment against defendants Robert Dill, Jr. and Tracey Dill, jointly and severally, as follows: a.

Plus taxable costs in the amount to be determined by the Court; d. Plus post-judgment interest from the date of Judgment until fully paid at the federal rate of 0.13% per annum (28 U.S.C. § 1961);

Example #3

1. Plaintiff, Bruce P. Kriegman, solely in his capacity as courtappointed Chapter 11 Trustee for Debtor LLS America, LLC, is hereby awarded Judgment against defendants Robert Dill, Sr. and Lillian Dill and LilRob, Ltd., jointly and severally, as follows: a. Judgment $930,184.65; b. Plus prejudgment interest from July 21, 2009 to January 21, 2014 at the federal rate of .47% per annum $19,673.41; c.

New Light of Faithful and Discreet Slave causes previous Society statements to sound '..mighty curious...'

Our Kingdom Ministry, January 2005 For Canada km-E 1/05 Vol. 48, No. 1, p.7

Question Box

"What is the best way to make contributions for the benefit of needy brothers in other lands?

At times, we hear about brothers in another land who have come into material need because of persecution, disaster, or other difficult circumstances. Some brothers have been moved to send funds directly to the branch offices in such lands, requesting that the money be used to help a certain individual, a particular congregation, or a designated building project. -- 2 Cor. 8:1-4.

While such loving concern for fellow believers is commendable, often there are needs that are more urgent than those that the contributor has in mind. In come cases, the designated need has already been cared for. Of course, we can be confident that when contributions are sent to the local branch office for the worldwide work, the Kingdom Hall Fund, or disaster relief, those donated funds will be used as directed by the contributor.

The brothers in all the branches have been thoroughly trained to respond quickly to unanticipated needs. In all cases, the branch keeps the Governing Body informed regarding the matter. If additional assistance is needed, the Governing Body may invite nearby branches to help or funds may be sent directly from headquarters. 2 Cor. 8:14, 15.

Therefore, all contributions intended for the worldwide work, building projects in other lands, or disaster relief should be sent to the branch office in the land in which you live, either through the congregation or directly. In this way, 'the faithful and discreet slave,' [the Governing Body] through the organizational arrangement set in place by the Governing Body, cares for the needs of the worldwide brotherhood in an orderly manner. -- Matt. 24:45-47; 1 Cor. 14:33, 40.
