1290 jw congregations have been deleted since 4th dec 2022. i have a full map so you can explore active/deleted congs, and also orphaned halls https://analytics.jws-library.one/viewmap.html.

many of the deletions in the usa appear to be foreign language groups.

I don't see Puerto Rico on that list and I know of at least 4 that were deleted.

Does the Governing Body already know that Jehovah (the name) came from Babylon the Great?

by Chevelle in

i'll start by stating the obvious... according to the watchtower, the catholic church is a huge part of babylon the great which is led by satan and his demons.

raymundus martini, a catholic monk (who "represents" babylon the great to some extent), woke up one day in the 13th century and decided to alter yhwh so it can be easily pronounced.

hence the spanish-ish version of yhwh was created... jehova... (sounds something like this in spanish: heh-o-va).

Rattigan... you seriously need to get laid or something.

I believe that, since the 1980's, when Ray Franz and others started stirring the pot in Brooklyn, many high level bethelites realized that the name of the religion really should have been

Yahweh's Witnesses - or - YHWH's Witnesses

But imagine having to make that change. Even worse... imagine having to finally admit that they got "Jehovah" from Babylon the Great! It's way too late to admit something like that or even claim Nu-Lite. And to mitigate this, the very few times they made any mention of Raymundus in the WT publications, they only say that he was a "monk" and stop short of saying "Catholic Monk".

I would be interested in knowing your take on this subject. thank you.

"The government wants to force us to change our scriptural beliefs regarding shunning. But we're certainly not going to do that."

Curtailing zoom

by road to nowhere in

co visit, so right from the horse's mouth ( or somewhere).

too many are staying on zoom, missing face to face encouragement.

look for the elders to implement changes.. also people at the door are so receptive and glad to see us.

JWGonebad... actually they used to rake in huge sums of money selling hamburgers and hotdogs at District Assemblies. Some here might recall the coupon book you had to buy beforehand if you wanted to eat. But they figured out that discontinuing food service led to more cash in the cardboard boxes at the end of each day.

To All Those Keen To Tell Us About Their Beliefs

by Simon in

we seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.

they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?

) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.
