so much for jehovah blessing this new arrangement.
they are barely keeping up with the birthrate!
so basically the org spent millions of dollars on their website and broadcasting so the only growth they are still getting comes from born ins and illiterate and superstitious folks from africa.
newdawnfades , so in other words the numbers are fudged !
They may travel a long distance to do this. They get to count their travelling time and get a break which they can count too.
Without actually witnessing to anyone .
How can anyone believe anything this religion says is true.?
hey i’m back i know it’s been a long time since i’ve posted on the form but a lot things have been happening so i haven’t had much time to post.. ive been 14 for awhile now makes me happy because i’m getting closer to being able to get a job and work my way out of this.. i have meetings on saturdays now which is horrible because i rather have it on sunday because it’s already a sad day because i got to go to school the next day.three of our public talks have had different brothers saying the same thing talking about the signs of the end days.the thing that gets me is when they always try and bank on the earthquake part i mean i’m really into science so i already knew a lot about plate tectonics sea floor spreading etc but you get taught this in school.with plates always moving divergent convergent transform etc there will be earthquakes it’s the effect of plates moving against or rubing on each or going back into the mantle(subduction zones) it happens.so when there’s a report in japan of a lot of earthquakes it must be the end times!no japan is located on four plates it’s going to experience big earthquakes.. i don’t know that just gets under my skins when they try and say it’s the end days because of the earth having natural things happen like plate tectonics is something that’s been happening recently no we might have gotten our hands on the technology to spot earthquakes recently but this has been happening for millions of years.. speaking of years i hope you all have a great 2019 and i’ll definitely post more of my thoughts this year..
Good to hear it .
Take care

O.K. AKid48 you sure sound like a mature 14 year old and have been given sound advice and support on here and seeing you don`t have much legal status as a minor until you reach the age of 18 ? which is another 4 years away , I hope you have the patience to bide your time , not upset your mom too much or cause any rift in your relationship with your mom because of your seeing TTATT but your mom hasn`t yet.
Maybe she will in the future maybe she wont.
And as another poster said ,do not get baptized under any circumstances .keep deferring it
I wish you well for the future 2019 and onward .
i always get curious when someone posts an article from the wt.
so i end up going there to look around at the whole article and find other things that are curiouser and couriouser.. certainly, god’s thinking is superior to that of today’s world.
living by his thoughts will bring us the greatest happiness and success.
By their fruits you will know them .
from the avast company.. on september 8th, residents of hamburg, germany woke up to an unusual sight.
scores of kids were taking to the streets with signs, chanting lines such as “we are here, we are loud because you are just looking at your mobile phones.” and “play with us, not your cell phones!”.
seven-year-old emil rustige pulled the mini-protest together to vent his frustration at his parents for spending more time on their phones than with him.
Cell phones ,Smart Phones ,etc Social media are producing a Nation, no a World of Narcissists .

These bible writers are no more guided by Holy Spirit /Jehovah God / Jesus Christ / than the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses today are .
So don`t waste your time debating what this scripture meant or what this Bible writer was trying to convey etc,etc,
God whoever he is supposed to be couldn`t even preserve his own word as original texts because no such original texts exist nowadays of either the Hebrew Scriptures (OT) or the Christian Greek Scriptures (NT)
So why believe anything at all that the Bible says because it can`t be verified by any God as being the Truth.
in the january 1, 2015 watchtower it says printing each issue 52,946,000 in 228 languages semimonthly.
in that 2016 #1 issue watchtower it says produced each issue 58,987,000 in 254 languages monthly.
what is the difference between printed and produced?.
Since when have the Society given a commercial enterprise the rights to print their literature and they the JW`s distribute the end product ? In recent years ?
Correct me if I`m wrong ?
yesterday i was looking to share a pic with a friend of mine, and i swore it was in my photo albums (i have 3).
so i start going through them, and i see so many jw pics!
i had a huge group of friends when i was 'in', and so there is just pic after pic of assemblies, dinners, game nights, rbc projects, my family and the house i grew up in, people from the hall, etc.
Welcome leeny ,it takes time to come to grips with what you are learning about the Organization and its leaders and absorbing all of this new information .
Their is no hurry Armageddon or the Great tribulation are not coming anytime soon.
Chill out smell the roses and take time to re-educate yourself about Cult religions ,if you havent read Don Cameron`s Book available on line I highly recommend it .
Take care.

Then to find out there are even more successful exjw then her on you tube and it’s just plain wonderful.
Any chance of showing us mere mortals more evidence of these words Crazyguy ? not that I doubt you but I think we are all done with just taking somebody`s word without any evidence to back up the statements.
You understand. Take care.
there are two legal offices listed on the jw.org website.. united stateswatchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc.office of the general counsel100 watchtower drivepatterson ny 12563-9204united states+1 [email protected].
world headquartersjehovah’s witnesses, office of the general counsel1 kings drivetuxedo park ny 10987-5500united states+1 [email protected].
to which location does one report child abusers and their enablers?
One location could give you one reply the other location could give you another reply ,the two Legal Departments could be referred to as an overlapping Legal reply ?
what could be more simpler ?
or you could just conclude that the Legal departments of Jehovah`s Witnesses ,like all of their other departments speak out of both sides of their mouth.
