Outside JW World They Barely Exist

is anyone else staggered by the fact that outside of the organization most of the general public seem to know very little or nothing about jw’s?

when i was in i was led to believe that 99% of the worlds population had been giving sufficient warning, knew what it was all about and were stubbornly sticking to their immoral ways.

the reality seems to be that the entire jw universe is barely noticeable to the masses.

Yet Jehovah is patient, desiring none to be destroyed but all to gain repentance.

How odd then that even where Winesses have a reasonable presence there is still scant knowledge of or interest in what the "good news" really is.

A quick look at the source documents and lots of Google Translate suggest alot of consolidation in the foreign language field. Maybe someone will have the time to produce a detailed breakdown but it's certainly interesting data.

If a year is really 365 1/4 days why 360 days to calculate 1914

doesn't that throw off the date?.

*** w51 6/15 p. 383 questions from readers ***.

in establishing the length of the seven times of the gentiles, a time or year of 360 days is used, to give 2,520 days, which become 2,520 years when ezekiel 4:6 is applied.

The irony to me is that God is such a "God of order, not of disorder" that he insists on numerous minute details in organisational policy like only staying in org approved hotels for an assembly yet could not organise the solar system so that the relationship between the rotation of the earth, the orbit of the moon around the sun and the orbit of the earth around the sun was something that would fit naturally together for humans so they could easily understand time.

Brilliant!
