Seriously , there must have been something in the water.

My thought mirror yours.
I remember as time went on more and more i would see the ministry as a pointless waste of time.
We wernt accomplishing much considering the amount of time it took .
And the simple fact is most witnesses are crap at talking to people on the doors about their beliefs.
Witnesses also make fools of themselves by gathering together in large numbers in the streets.What must people think.
The witnessing work does more to put people off the witnesses than bring them in.
Most converts are children and "friends" . -

They're always going on about how they are in 200 odd countries or whatever. Yet alot of these countries are just islands with tiny populations.
The two biggest most massively populated countries in the world have only a handful of witnesses.
You can fit whole population of the USA , Mexico , Brazil , Japan and the whole of Europe plus the old USSR into China.
Yet there are nearly no witnesses in the whole of China.
And that not counting India. -

Why doen't God perform miracles today?
by sleepy inwhy did jesus do miracles?.
it is alledged that some 2000 years ago a man claimed to be the son of god , or even god himself (depends what religion you are).. in order to give some weight to his cliam he did some miracles, cured a few lepers, made a slap up lunch out of some fish and bread, and took a walk on some water.. all this to prove he was gods son.. but to prove it to who?.
if you ask a witness why god doen't perform miracles today , what do they say.. we don't need miracles today we have it all written in the bible.. der.

All this to prove he was Gods son.
But to prove it to who?

We don't need miracles today we have it all written in the Bible.
Der. The Jews had the bible as well.That had stories about miracles in it.
By the same reasoning Jesus didn't need to do miracles because the Bible talks of Moses doing miracles.
If Jesus doing miracles proves he is Gods son then he needs to do miracles for every generation , other wise what does it prove?
Stories in a book cant prove anything. -

Realise this Jehovahs witnesses,

Iraq pop 21. 000 000
N Korea pop. 25 000 000
Saudi arabia. pop 20 000 000
How much preaching is done in these countries?
The preaching work is no where near a world wide scale at the present time.
Why would God judge the whole of China as worthy of destruction?
Yet when you tell witnesses this they say leave it up to Jehovah he knows what he is doing.
If that is the case why preach at all? -

Maybe some of us here could compile stuff together , or is any one already working on something?How about some titles ?
I would like to see a book "questions for Jehovahs witnesses"
Also "Jehovahs witnesses the real history" -

One of my Elders was a Flasher.
by sleepy ini don't know whether its good to spread stories regarding individual cases of perverts in the congregation.. but this case shows to me that you just can not tell very easily who is likely to be a pervert or not , even if are elders in the congregation.. this particular elder was very prominent in our area and was a regular pioneer for some time.i belive he also served on the hospital liaison committe.. one day it just appears in the local newspaper "****** has been charged with flashing in a public park" i believe young girls were the victims , though i cant remmeber.. it was only when this appeared in the newspaper that he confessed his crime to the elders, well he couldn't hide it now could he?.
even though he had been caught and charged and then taken to court , a process that most have teken many months , he had not confessed and continued serving as an elder and on the hospital team.. no one could believe he could actually do this , yet he admited his guilt in court.. just goes to show , that in this so called clean organistaion there could be many more covering up their crimes.. (in my area also two brothers were covicted with rape and jailed).
so if anyone thinks that in general jehovahs witness are better than normal people, well i know a flasher and two rapists, there are plenty of "good" associations in gods organisation.
