The point is that JWs are obsessed with numbers and believe that this is all a sign of the last days, God's approval and blessing, and the their rich spiritual heritage.

JW-land is now bigger than Switzerland!
by slimboyfat ini notice the latest yearbook was making a big think about jws being more populous than the country of switzerland.
jws have overtaken a number of small countries in recent years, such as norway, denmark, israel, el salvador, finland, georgia, hong kong and new zealand.
they will be overtaking places like austria, portugal, belgium and greece next.

The antidote to the myth that JWs are declining
by slimboyfat inone of the most persistent myths on this website is that jws are already in decline, the rot has set in, and the descent of the watchtower is inevitable from here on in.
unfortunately the facts do not bear this out.
jws are still increasing even in most developing countries, and they are still growing worldwide at a faster rate than the general population.

What is disturbing to me is that the increases, though modest, are still increases. JWs have to be one of the more meticulous religions out there in only counting as members those who still actually attend services regularly. And not only that, but you need to actively preach for them, otherwise you fall off the member rolls. Contrast that with someone who was baptised as a Catholic in São Paulo in 1972. This person doesn't even have to enter another church for 40 years, and guess what? They are still counted among Brazil's 123 million Catholics. All they would need to do is self-identify as such. I'd be curious to see the real numbers on all the various Christian sects if they used the same criteria as the JWs use and wonder how it compares to the worldwide JW numbers.

Tsk Tsk. You should know that brains have no nerves in them. They can operate on brains without anesthetics. Show me proof of a human brain that can actually feel localised pain before you make these unsupported assertions.

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, suicide attempt
by RubaDub inwow, just reported that paris was rushed to the hospital with slit wrists.. i normally have a lot to say but this one is a very sad situation.. rub a dub.

The BOE in Encino needs to get in on this, since Paris is an unbaptised publisher. Get back to the KH and beg for forgiveness or be marked. Having your famous father die and then become absorbed into the JW life almost immediately is a certain recipe for disaster. It had to be bad if she went back to a 'mother' that swiftly abandoned her for a cash payout.

Knocking on a Kingdom Hall door
by trujw ini have been thinking latley about having a little fun.
i want to dress up in a suite go to the kingdom hall during a meeting and knocking on the door to offer them a religious track.

They already feel persecuted enough, and this feeds into their 'safe sanctuary from enemies' reasoning. I just don't believe in interrupting any religious service, regardless of the sect involved. They might not have any respect for other beliefs, but I'm certainly not joining them in that.

Better get that time in. Jehovah's a fussy fellow and might just leave you off the list if you don't sell his magazines for at least 10 hours a month.

JCPenney removes a billboard after.....
by Iamallcool injcpenney removes a billboard after complaints that the tea kettle featured resembled adolf hitler.
does it look like hitler to you?
does it offend you?

Personally I think the man is talked about (and compared to) way too much nowadays. That's exactly what he would have wanted, given the outcome of the war. It's only a tea kettle! It could look like any man with parted hair and a moustache. Hitler didn't want to be forgotten as was evidenced in his will, and here we are many years later, obliging him. He has plenty of company in the genocide department, but Pol Pot, Mao, Karadzic, and some unfamiliar Rwandan names and faces don't quite do the trick as the awkward looking man with a Charlie Chaplin moustache does.

KwaZulu Natal ex Jw & friends
by LouBelle inright...so i was thinking that we need to shake up the kzn jw community .... because we can.
i'd like to know if there are any ex jw and friends on here that would like to join my mum and i.. the next big convention is going to be held on the 6-8th of september at the sharks rugby stadium.
we would like to organise 1) an undercover mission on the saturday - go into the assembly parking, maybe even hang around for an hour and then go about and put flyers on all the cars with regards to some biblical truths.

Should I send this letter to my non-JW cousin who refuses to listen to ANY criticism of our JW relatives?
by nicolaou insome background here; non-jw family members who are overly respectful and protective of the jw's.. i thought i might try a completely different tactic.

i thought i'd let it sit with her for a couple of weeks or more before following it up .

U se the quote from Luke 17:23:
A nd they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
A nd Luke 21:8:
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
