Let me see:
more Kingdom halls = more growth (Jah's blessing)
less Kingdom halls = less growth (no blessing)
It should be simple for the JW to see this, no?
just seen reference to a recent letter read to congregations about this, anyone got more info please?.

apparently there was a bill introduced to congress asking for the removal of the us from the participation on the un.. you can read about it here:https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/193/textwhat do you think jw's will make out of this?.
I think this is good news for the USA but bad news for the JW cult of course they will attempt to spin this into a positive development.
Here is one reason why I think it is a good idea. The UN is maybe the most corrupt governing body on earth. It is a haven for political favors, get out of jail for free cards sold to the highest bidder and have not really been a body for peace. I know this personally because I have a family member who has worked at the UN for the South Korean international delegation.
I also think the USA wants to no longer be the world police and this is another good thing. The USA has been profiting from wars that it made for too long. The USA has become part of the military industrial complex war machine and this is only getting worse.

WOW! This is wonderful news! I can't believe that I am now cheering for the JW cult to collapse but here I am!
i saw this posted on another forum and it raises a very good question.
maybe we can get a go fundme page to pay for the lawyer fees?
get a good shark lawyer on this?
Thank you for this understanding but I do not believe that of all the religions that JW cult should benefit from this! They do nothing for chairty!
world population growth rate is 1.13%, whilst jehovah's witness average publishers grew by 1.8%.
watchtower growth is outpacing population growth, though at a dismal rate considering the 2 billion hours of preaching required for an increase of just 115,194. this is an aggregate number, and most growth is from developing nations in africa and south america.
what i was really interested in finding is how watchtower growth compares to the population growth in different countries.
I think you are going about this the wrong way, very wrong. Percentage can look very big or small because it is part of a total. So if I say "my company saw an increase in employees of 100%" that sounds like a lot! But I forgot to tell you my company only has 5 employees and now we have 10
But however if I said "my company saw an increase in employees of 0.9%" that sounds very bad. Very slow growth. But I forgot to tell you that my company has 500,000 employees (in China this is common) so my company had 500,000 but added an additional 4,500!
Do not need to look at % because in nominal terms it is meaningless. In nominal terms the world population is growing at 211,807 people every single day or 75 Million every year! Compare this to the JW cult which is "growing" by 115,000! So we have growth of 75,000,000 versus growth of 115,000. Which one is more? And this puts into serious jeopardy "Jehovah is patient with us" BS because for every day that he is "patient" 211,507 people will die at Armageddon. Does this make sense?
my wife found this 1/4 page ad on page 2 of yesterday's nj star-ledger, probably the biggest newspaper in nj.
pretty telling.. .
Brothers, this is another sign we are living deep in the last days! OMG the end is here the end is HERE!

Also the JW cult has more former members than they have current members!
ok, so i don't know if this is "old news", and if this has been seen, and or mentioned already.
if it was, i do apologize, but i feel i have to mention what has been seen on tv, within the past 24 hours.. first off, i would like to say that i did not personally see this commercial.
however, it was seen by someone that i can verify 100% is telling the truth, as it was my own father who saw it.
So then how can the JW cult still have 503.1c tax free status????????
So many lives ruined! They have more ex Members than they have current members!

>Can someone please explain to me HOW and WHY the JW WTBTS still has a 503.1c tax-free status when they are NOT a charity, they have thousands of child abuse scandals ongoing, it has literally millions of ex-members who will testify to it being a CULT which destroys families and has caused the suicides of many members not to mention the needless deaths of those who refused BLOOD on the basis of a bunch of ignorant men?
Everything the JW cult has done is not because it is BIBLE based as they claim but to make themselves AS DIFFERENT from other "Christian" religions. That's the reasons for their, NO BLOOD policy, the NO HOLIDAYS policy, the NO VOTING policy, the NO SMOKING policy etc etc etc.
Someone needs to get a real sharp lawyer and go after the jugular of this cult and take it down once and for all!
REMOVE THEIR 501.3c TAX STATUS NOW!<
it is a most interesting study.
when one studies anthropology, one can see how the "need" for belief in a higher being evolved from early man.
and it served a purpose.
It is a most interesting study. When one studies anthropology, one can see how the "need" for belief in a higher being evolved from early man. And it served a purpose. But now in the year 2017, do we really need to believe in fairy tales anymore? Can we classify being very religious as having a form of mental disorder?
The answer to my first question is yes, we still need religion. Religion serves to provide a crutch for the mentally deficient and without that I think many more people would be doing crazy things. For example Putin. Putin has made Russian orthodoxy the official state religion. He saw the consequences of his people not having a belief in God can do. Putin is actually a genius. I am not saying this because he is using religion as a tool to unite his people but because he really is. I read some years ago that he is a master chess players and his IQ is 160+. But I would like to give him one big compliment for something else -- seeing the JW as a cult and banning it. I hope he succeeds.
To answer the second question, it is complicated. Perhaps it would be better to say that belief in God is like a vestigial organ -- necessary many eons ago but no longer needed today and thus anyone who breaks free from religion and the need to believe in something is at a higher state of evolution and intelligence.
