https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-october-2020/how-to-conduct-a-bible-study-that-leads-to-baptism-part-two/.
i recently came across the above watchtower article which spoke about conducting bible studies which lead to baptism.
it progressed to say that if the bible study instructor does not see growth within the student or the desire to work towards baptism, then the studies should end.
As I recall a Bible study is if on the first call and you read a scripture then on the return visit you read and briefly discuss another scripture and something on JW.org you can count a study even if on the next visit they stop the discussion, at the end of the month you report a study,
The same will probably be the same with letter writing etc.
That probably account's for the high number of reported studies and the low number progressing to baptism.
where does one start ?
ok i`ll do my best and you can add some more if you like .. first off, wherever in the world you are that`s where you will stay.why?
because modern day transport as we know it will no longer be.
A world without history , even our own history the music TV shows films and cars etc that we remember as we grew up and to a greater extent the history of our world pyramids and others historical sites and museums , gone forever as they are part of Satan's world .
hi,friends , i doubt that the jehovah`s witnesses will sign up and in one way it is a good thing because it will bring reproach on the name of god and his supposed organization, if the govts.are true to theire word they should name and shame them.
for not signing up.. one of the reasons for not signing up is because they do not share interfaith with other christian religions.. however they seem to have no problem selling their kh`s to christendoms religions .?.
but if any member of the jw`s has any dealings with another church you will be brought before the judicial committee to explain yourself and maybe end up disfellowshipped.. if ,and i don`t beleive there will be any persecution ,but if it did occur it would be because they brought it upon themselves ..
Hopefully the Australian government makes this the last chance for them to join and then backdate the tax exempt status to all the money even the money they moved out off the country.
And a apology to the victims and survivors so they can have a measure of justice.
we were told by watchtower that no way jesus was born on dec. 25th.
.
what do you think now?.
Gaslighting is providing false information making someone to doubt the facts.
As others have said their is no concrete evidence , historical or archaeological evidence of a miracle worker called Jesus outside of the four gospels which were written decades after the events so not eyewitness accounts.
So if anyone is Gaslighting it is you.unless you can provide the clear and proven evidence of the miracles and life of Jesus as facts and not based on hearsay of individual's decades later.
from the borg?.
i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.
towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.
A disfellowshiped apostate ,I was listening to a radio talk show about jws and disfellowshiping and a individual who had been shunned by her family and then this exelder called in and explained he had been disfellowshiped for questioning that JWs were a member of the UN during the 90s and then calmly mentioned about the guardian newspaper exposure and simply said look it up , and initially I thought it was apostate lies but looked it up anyway and found the newspaper article then found this forum and read many topics and used the search function .
Many thanks to that guy , just shows a simple calm comment can start the waking process.
what questions should be asked to a jehovah`s witness when confronted with them.. a jw gives his sermon.
"you" immediately ask him by what authority he has from god that you should take notice of him ,seeing their are over 40,000 different christian religions in the world who claim to represent god,.
jw.
If you ask a JW the right question you must be a apostate as they are the only one's allowed to ask the questions and then tell you the answer on JW.org .

plus another increase in memorial partakes number etc .
Could this negative growth be because of the CSA court cases being reported around the world and we will still have to wait on the impact of covid19 as some have highlighted that it took a few years for the impact of 1975 to show up on the figures.
On the jwtalk public forum someone mentioned about the service year report memorial attendance and partakers but after 8 hours NO one has made a comment.

assume for a minute that god created everything.
there was nothing before him and everything is because of him.
every single thing in the universe he is directly responsible for.. somehow the good stuff we should thank him for but the bad stuff is nothing to do with him, it is our fault.. this world that he created that was “good” has turned in to a right shitshow but despite being absolutely responsible for it from start to finish it is not his fault and in fact he has somehow turned this round so that instead of being to blame he is the person who is going to sort the problems and we should be thankful..
It's not my fault something a narcissist would say.
this year was actually “the beginning of the last days for the watchtower.
before this year, there were very few that questioned the watchtower.
they were truly god’s only channel.
No wonder the org didn't want people to go to university these darn mathematician and physicist.
