One can only hope that as the technology becomes more available in third world countries that growth there will begin to slow down.

Local Elder Mentions this Site from the Platform
by James Jack ina local elder had the part this week on the "good news" brochure.
he said: "if the householder has any questions, direct them to jw.org, don't say, just look up jehovah's witnesses on the internet(an older sister said this at the door), if you do they will be directed to a site visited by apostates and weak witnesses!
" "this mistake, would cause the householder to never accept bible truth".. i thought to myself, wow, i'm sure some listening to this part, will get curious now(many in the hall are just being exposed to the internet, and practicing with their new tablets) and do, just what they were told not to do..

Million Euro Scandal in Spain
by Calebs Airplane inhttp://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/vida/testigos-jehova-agujero-empresarial-galicia_69908_102.html.
the jehovah’s witnesses leadership (in northern spain) requested that a local material supplier (owned by rank-and file jws) not divulge that a million euros are unaccounted for.
the cult leadership requested peace from the congregation so as to put pressure on the material company’s owners (who are jws) and thereby avoid any possible litigation.. this case affects a well-known construction supply company with its headquarters in a large northern city.

This is one personal experience we won't be seeing in the Watchtower.

What We Truly Deserve Is...Death, Really WT?
by JW_Rogue ini have seen this statement or similar ones popping up in the study edition of the wt lately.
whenever they talk about undeserved kindness or jesus ransom they add this little gem to get the point across.
this is sick, why do they feel the need to tear down people's self esteem?

How could a truly loving God punish you for someone else's crime? If men can accept innocent till proven guilty, does that make God less just than man?

Do You Trust The News Media?
by minimus inobviously, trump doesn't.
but do you?
do you think that they are generally fair, unbiased and honest?.

As I recall, the information was considered so airtight that poor Colin Powell embarrassed himself in front of the UN with diagrams and charts to show the danger from the WMDs.

Absolutely no...I don't Believe what they report, at first! Remember WMD. WEPONDS OF MASS DESTRUCTION?... they reported this as a fact, but it was not.
They were told by our government that the weapons were real, and reported on that information.
Today, on the other hand, the right wing media reports something, and the government thinks it's real.
Quite a difference.

This is What I Would Need in Order to Believe
by cofty insometimes theists challenge atheists about what evidence would be required before they would believe.
various unlikely scenarios are offered in reply.
i have taken the bait myself in the past.. i think the correct answer is much more ordinary.

Getting back to the original question. When I die and am suddenly resurrected on a paradise earth, or at the pearly gates, or perhaps in another dimension, I'll believe.

Maybe they can come up with a no blood transplant card that will allow Witnesses to donate organs to recipients who won't accept transfusions. Then they can do what they want. The rest of us can use the organs with no strings attached.

Just a side note. Ever wonder how many organs would be available for heart and other transplants if organized religion encouraged saving lives by donating organs after death?
