However if GOD doesn`t exist then it could come down to emotion/feelings and or a standard of educational level,don`t you think ?

Implications of gender and racial imbalance in JW population.
by doubtfull1799 inthis was inspired by a recent post by nike and the comments that followed re gender balance in the org.
if jw's accept the concept that the gb continue to push - that people only become believers if they are "rightly disposed" and are thereby "drawn by god.".
then given the huge gender imbalance and also the huge differences in percentages of jw in some lands vss others only two things can possible follow from that:.

It`s only since I left the Borg and found site`s like this that I realized the JW`s were never witnesses for Jehovah they were always witnesses for the Watchtower .
Hopefully it`s just another sign of the eventual end of this cult.

Another congregation bites the dust
by NikL inwent to the meeting last night with my believing wife.
the co was visiting and delivered a really cult-ish talk on loyalty but that's another story.. they made the announcement that starting january 1st they were going to have only 3 congregations in this town instead of 4.. they are dissolving one and growing the territories of the remaining 3. the reason given is that many of the elders are getting up there in age and can't do what they used to do.
basically not enough elders and ministerial servants...or even men reaching out for that matter.

Why "Most high"?
by Doug Mason inif there were only one god, why do we encounter the expression, "most high god"?.
is this not indicative of polytheism, and of levels (or degrees) of god-ness?.

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today
by pale.emperor inwe all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

Stop harassing jws
by pomo6780 inwe want people to learn ttatt.
we have numerous resources online to draw jws in so that they will wake up.
however, i've noted some radical methods that have been used by fellow exjws, and quite frankly, this must stop.

If God is able to listen to the prayers of billions of people (as all religions teach), then it must equally be easy for God to communicate with all people simultaneously. Without going for such an easy option, why does He use people like you to communicate with other people?
Good point Venus ,and I don`t think anything more can be added to that statement it sums it up completely !

Maybe they should display on their carts how they discourage competitive sports in there literature and frown on people who excel in their sport as it promotes putting individuals on a pedestal ,idol worship ,and takes away from glory and worship that should be given to Jehovah ,in their eyes.
Completely ignoring the Christian Greek Scriptures that Jesus is the name that is given above every other name and to be worshiped .Php 2:10

You have to be kidding me ,is this for real ? The way the WT organization spin this ,is that the cart witnessing is a phenomenal success ,placing much literature ,starting many Bible studies and bringing hordes into the religion before the end comes.
The reality judging by what has been demonstrated on this board since they started cart witnessing is nothing like what the GB would have you believe.
Nobody takes any notice of them ,Oh ,except maybe an ex JW who might try to engage them in a discussion which more than likely they don`t want to do except point you to JW.Org for any questions you may have ?
They have to be a joke right ? an embarrassing joke at that.
