7 where do those making up the great crowd come from?
they are being brought together because of what jesus foretold as part of the sign of his presence.

Factfinder: Otherwise you are counting baptized publishers twice.
You are correct. WT does count the same person twice.

The trouble is JWs are so ignorant they do not understand the difference between a "theory" and a "hypothesis".

Phizzy: They will not have to wait for a never to be realised paradise earth to appear, people can get better lives NOW !
Bad news for WT...it will not be able to take advantage of the disenfranchised and hopeless to gain new members.
"Better lives now"-- it's terrible what Satan does to people. LOL. Prosperity is a sure sign that one is not doing things Jehovah's™ way. Abundance and happiness are only an illusion of Satan.

I raised my hand and said that in my answer people would look at me like I had two heads. Even though I would be speaking the truth.
The standard response of any JW who's exposed to truth and a different way of looking at things.
Similar expressions can be seen as: a deer in the headlights, and a monkey doing a math problem.

The most enslaved anyone ever is occurs when they are constrained enough to announce they've found the truth and, to protect their pride, stop the search." -unknown

Said from the platform: "You are not surviving Armaggedon if you are spiritually weak"
by Daniel1555 intoday i was at the meeting (i go there about once a month now).
in the service meeting they had a part where they interviewed the secretary of the congregation.. so one question was: "why are the service reports so important?".
our secretary explained that the reports are important, because the elders can see, who is spiritually weak.

he said from the platform to look around the KH because only 1/3 of those in attendance were going to survive Armageddon
Our C.O. said 80% of JWs will not survive.
This means the "great increase" the WT brags about- 8 million JWs doing 1.8 billion hours worth of FS every year- are wasting 80% of their time and effort. 6.4 million JWs are toast.
This also means that Jehovah™, even if he existed, is a dismal failure. 99.9% of "worldly" people will be killed at Armageddon, and 80% of his own people right along with them.
So, if Jehovah can't accomplish anything close to what He's promised to do in this time, why does any JW put faith in what He promises for the future?

One of the last meetings I went to was during the CO's visit. His statement from the platform: "Most Jehovah's Witnesses will not survive Armageddon. Even if they sincerely believe they are doing all they can to serve Jehovah, they are only fooling themselves. Most will not qualify."
--
You see, WT has condemned every non-JW to death at Armageddon. They have no one else to condemn except their own brothers, and one of WTs primary missions is to make itself out to be superior to everyone else- even it's own adherents.
I'd like to ask that elder: 'so, how many hours did Jesus, the apostles and the early Christians report each month?
As Ray Franz pointed out in CoC, the primary purpose of a service report is a judging tool, and it appears the elders are taking full advantage of it.

"all the 5-year olds getting baptized".... "They (small children) can't make a decision like that!"
Ironically, when a person becomes an adult and wants to leave the WT, or at least questions some of its teachings, suddenly that person is incapable of doing their own thinking or of making such an important decision all on their own.
An adult who makes an informed, rational decision based on knowledge and experience will be punished for doing so. A 5 year-old making a lifelong commitment in ignorance is considered by WT to be wise.

OEJ: 2. They've got two sets of books, and are fudging the numbers that they report to the R/F.
Mark Twain said it best: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."
WT loves statistics.

FROM FEET TO FINGERS: THE WATCHTOWER EVOLVES INTO JW.ORG
by steve2 inwith the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.
among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.
furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.

yadda: Vidiot, I don't follow you. Why on earth would the latest, trendy focus on JW.ORG be something in the category of "strange and possibly impractical-seeming instructions?" Quite the opposite I'd say; most internet savvy JW's in the western world would regard it as entirely practical and long overdue!
Ummm....aren't JWs the same people who, for the most part, still think it's wise to not go to college or plan for retirement?
Aren't JWs the same people that pay $10,000 a day to rent their own mortgage-free assembly halls they just paid $10 million for?
Aren't JWs the people who bought the "overlapping" generation B.S. hook, line and sinker?
Finally, aren't JWs the ones that gullibly swallowed the WTs latest and blatantly absurd, self-aggrandizing definition of the "faithful slave" and praised it as wonderful "new light"?
I don't think "practical" is an influential factor in most of what JWs do.
...
"most internet savvy JW's in the western world would regard it as entirely practical and long overdue!"
I'm curious: What do JWs who don't have the Internet, or have access but don't use it, think? To them, a website is not only a big mystery but completely useless.
Since WT is seeing its largest growth in countries that have little, or no, Internet access, or JWs are too poor to afford a computer or the Internet, and is shrinking in countries that do have the Internet and JWs can afford it, this above statement has no relevance.
