the watchtower and awake have been considered as the most read magazines by christians.
do you think that all christians agree on it?.
source:.
the most read magazines
Hardly the most read. How can anyone account for every individual who takes/ gets/ shoved / picks/ forced are reading it at all. Boy even the jdumbs dont read it through and through. Then what can we say about others!
The worlds population which is 7.7 billion, out of which only approximately 2.4 billion are christians. That leaves 5.3 billion people .You do the math!

i was watching a news report last night on the homeless people in chicago, who were living outdoors in extreme cold and snow.
the homeless were seen living under bridges and street tunnels.. a missionary church called ''the night ministry'' was driving around helping the homeless with water, food , blankets and free rides to a local hospital if they were in need of medical care.
talk about following the words of jesus!.
And that is exactly what the rank and file are doing....helping and feeding the money-hungry/greedy society.

how clergy-penitent privilege may protect sex offenders | crime news.
it’s a practice that is centuries old: confessing one’s sins to a trusted clergy member.
If DOG is a hearer of prayers, then why the hell do I need to to go and confess my sins to a mere human who is no way any better/ nor worse than me. I can just pray to DOG and he can forgive me! (by the way there is no such thing as sins, we only break laws, moral laws, laws set by the govt, social laws etc but branding it sins is a cult-language in my opinion; used to control/brain wash). I call it wrongs not sins.
My gripe with the wbts is they do not have a clergy class. only a body of odours so they should not have been given the clergy-penitent confidentiality exemption privilege ! THIS SO NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!
This will become the norm /pattern in all of their lawsuits now and they will get away with murder !
(Just venting)

A religious group with a large membership is proposing a $9.9 million revamp of its Australasian headquarters in western Sydney in a bid to grow its digital presence.
Cindy Ngo, Liverpool Leader
The Australasian headquarters for Jehovah’s Witnesses could be getting a revamp under a proposal aimed at strengthening the organisation’s presence in the digital world.
The $9.9 million plans have been lodged with Liverpool Council and seek permission to alter the existing printery facility in Denham Court to build a film studio, which would be used to create digital religious educational materials.
Digital resources include short videos and website materials used for religious worship, instruction and training, according to planning documents.
Jehovah’s Witnesses Australasia already produces more than 400 videos a year, which are translated into 300 languages and used globally.
The existing printery at 12-14 Zouch Rd, Denham Court.
“The religious educational material is often made up of dramatising modern scenarios and re-enacting life in Bible times,” planning documents state.
“In all instances, the videos give insight and practical guidance on how to apply Bible principles.”
Located in a rural setting, the headquarters at 12-14 Zouch Rd is currently home to a printery building which produces hard-copy publications for audiences in Australia, New Zealand and islands in the South Pacific.
The site owner and applicant, the International Bible Students Association, is also seeking to add a new office building and a replica of an historical Bible site in an existing farm paddock for filming purposes.
A spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses — Australasia said the demand for digital resources had “not gone unnoticed” by the organisation.
“In recent years, there has been an ever-increasing demand for information in digital media format such as audio-video material,” the spokesman said.
“This technology is another effective means to make Bible education available to as many as possible.”
He said while there was still a focus on producing printed Bible education material, the organisation was “giving increased attention in establishing facilities that can produce audio-video based information” to meet the current demand.
So if the end is just round the corner,it makes so much sense to just spend 9.9million dollars into a building that may get destroyed soon but not to help our humans in need of food, clothing and shelter coz of various disaster and crisis in the world. Love of money is the root of all evils! Pathetic!

another gem of a book!.
stolenminds-understanding cults by rabbi michael skobac.
only a feww pages into the book and i find it interesting!.
" Most cults know the negative comments that recruits will encounter from these concerned and caring individuals. Soon, a veteran cult member will discuss their predictable critiques and defuse them by explaining why they are only misunderstandings or the unfortunate prejudices of those who aren’t in the know. In the future, when the recruit will hear these charges from loved ones, ironically, the cult gains credibility. After all, the group actually predicted the exact criticism that would come from these unenlightened outsiders."
Jdumbs fulfil this criteria always when friends and family try to tell them it is a cult, or false prophecies or CSA lawsuits.Immediately persecution mentality comes to mind.Bingo!
No truer words.
Boy this was one helluva book for a life coach.

Some more lines from the book, quite telling dont you think.I have heard this jargon before in the cult!
"Sometimes, recruits can encounter unfamiliar jargon, concepts or ideas that destabilize them with feelings of ineptitude. To alleviate this stress, people are provoked to keep on conforming and playing by the rules. At the same time, their many questions remain unanswered, deflected or put off to a vague future date."
How many times a person has asked questions or has doubts, a Body of Odours(clergy) always says wait on jokovah and he will give more light in the future! Thereby keeping the person conforming and playing by their rules, under their thumb.
