  Watchtower and Emoji's - your thoughts

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower

  on the jw.org website, the watchtower is sending out a strong warning with regard to emoji's & flirting.. my personal view is that the org is now trying to micro-manage just about every aspect of people's lives!.

  ps: 'quotes are from julia, ellen and tara.

  The Governing Body has nothing else to do but think about how they can micro manage their members more. Like a cult.

  If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?

  didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.

  seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

  Why is it that logic always fails when you are inside a cult?

  This logic that OP says is 100% proof that the JW is not "Jehovah's only organization" but rather a fraud.

  The truth is always the truth which is why the JW's fail.

  I'm sorry but I must side with Russia on this because they see the JW for what it is- a cult, not a normal religion and for that Russia is 100% right. This has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with stopping cults not stopping religion or free speech because cults are damaging to families and communities!

  Yes on the outiside the JW cult looks all nice and safe but in the inside is a power struggle of men who want to be recognized for their "position" in the congregation and will cover up for other elders they like.

  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?

  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.

  Amazing new graph - publisher increase compared to country population increase rates

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?
