  How many new converts do you remember as a JW?

  by SydBarrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  inspired by the "whats the reason you think jw's are in decline" thread.

  my belief is that almost all the growth, at least in the western world is due to jw's having kids.

  i was a 4th generation jw from birth till about age 20, so the timeframe i can comment on would be my teen years.

  Could be me and my friends in the 90's. We wrote letters, had late evening discussions etcetera. Great and disturbing times, with a lot of jw.org changes.

  Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.

  this had to come down from the top.

  maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

  I remember the CO condemned those who early used the pc and divices for jw related issues.

  brother jackson visits the italy branch.to all the missing brothers and ex-brothers greetings stay healthy!this week brother jackson from world headquarters is visiting rome and bologna where the new branch will be built (by now the watchtower has turned into a multinational construction company and the old days are just a beautiful faded memory).the bethel of "italian/dissident/fugitive/spiritual" witnesses (active, but who do not agree with the organization's policies and directives because they are unscriptural) which has only a virtual location on the internet, (john 4:23, 24) will inform with a simple report this weekend.these are routine visits, but sometimes information of interest to the lord's servants can come out by mistakegreetings.

  stay healthy!

  Revelation book

  by Gorb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you remember the jw.org book of revelation and how many times we had to study it?

  in retrospect, all those hours turned out to be for nothing, the explanation of the prophecies is now completely outdated..

  It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

  "for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

  but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

  I remember family discussions about 1975. Was a child. Then the discussions about Raymond Franz in the early 80's.

  Time trends to fly.

  Will God Spare China at Armagedon?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not because they haven't been witnessed to but who is going to manufacture all the stuff for the survivors?

  textiles and clothing, building materials, electrical components, air-conditioner for those living in the tropics and spacer heaters for those living in colder climes.

  not to mention video equipment and computer tablets so that the survivors can watch the gb updates (though may they've gone to heaven but i'm sure there'll be plenty of the 'gb helpers', the next rank down, left).

  Jw.org had a small office in China for buying parts and furniture when building their new head offices.

  I have proof of that somewere on an old hard disk.
