  Someone took the numbers from a study done in New Zealand about babies born with Anemia, and the mortality rate difference between those who got transfusions and those that did not. Then applied that number or ratio to the amount of JW's world wide from 1960 i think until recently and calculated conservatively that over 50,000 JW babies have died during this time. Take that figure and add all the ones that have been in accidents or have had major issues with surgery and other problems that might require a major bllod transfusion and we may find the number approaching 100-150,000+

  Heavenly Gates Closed in 1935… Re-opened in 2007

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since 1935, the watchtower had been categorically teaching (for over 6 decades) that the heavenly calling of the 144,000 anointed christians had ceased in 1935. this teaching was especially significant to older jws (especially those who spent much of their lives serving the watchtower as pioneers, elders, missionaries, bethelites, etc.

  ) because many of these would eventually turn their attention to the aging governing body members and feel a sense of relief knowing that the end was drawing ever so near.

  in other words, as more governing body members (who were born before 1935) passed away, the closer they would get to their long-awaited reward of surviving armageddon and living on paradise earth where they would finally hug grass-eating lions near a waterfall while marveling at snow-peaked mountains in the distance.

  Apognophos; you do realize that the jw teaching of the 144k are the anointed and only the anointed is wrong?

  Designs, thats what helped me to wake up, In was researching the subject Anointed and found a WT where they stated that an Anointed one was no more knowledgeable then a older one or a elder. I was thinking 'What the hell all these years we were told the anointed were given extra knowledge even the bible says so, and thats what made our religion special" Hopefully more will wake up after this new power grab by the 8 Popes. Ones must be thinking 'whats the piont of having a remnant on earth if they dont mean anything?"

  the app is supposed to have the greek interlinear, if true i might get it. The interlinear is a great tool for blowing up their dogma.

  Are JWs more tight with money than normal people?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  actually, in my experience, i have not found them to be tighter or more generous with money.

  i've found them to be about the same with handling money as non-jws, though less likely to invest their money, but unlikely to waste it on cigarettes, pubs/clubs and gambling like many non-jws do.

  i certainly don't find them tighter or stingier than normal people though, and slightly more honest.. what are your experiences with jws and money compared to non-jws and money?.

  A Question About Shunning

  by Adumbra in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  much has been said on what it is like to be shunned but i would like to hear from the other side of the practice: what is it like to shun?.

  just to give you my perspective: i was raised a jw, but was never baptized and in fact i was only a real zealout for about 2 years of my life.

  for this reason when a friend of mine was disciplined for marijuanna possession it never even occured to me that i should shun him (i visited him the day after it was announced at the meeting to cheer him up).

  yes we should shun just unbelievers and yes we should kill false prophets, so I guess were going to New York. Get your guns boys.

  I was reading another thread about the kingdom and the kings. I looked up all the scriptures that mention christians being Kings in corithians, timothy and revelations chapter 5:10 in the Greek interlinear, No where does it say KINGS just the word REIGN. What the word Reign means in the bible and how it pertains to christains may be best explained in chapter 5 of Romans.

  Just my opinion but the JW's will never change their teachings about the 144K, its their power base and how they keep themselves over everyone else. this teaching is more important to them then just about anything else except maybe that the ORG is Gods chosen religion.

  the last few meetings i went to i took my holman christian study bible, used my bible app on my phone and spent most of the time doing research abot TTATT, driving the final nails in the coffin. Reading the WT or listening to the talks were starting to make me mad so i had to stop going altogether.

  Applaud the Blessings?

  by braincleaned in

  2. beliefs

  i found it interesting that the 2012 service year report showed a global increase of 1.90% while the global demography is growing 1.14% a year.. not something to get too snotty about, in my opinion.. if the jw are blessed with that level of growth, what can be said about the mormon's 2.31% growth the same year?.

  or the islam annual growth rate of about 6.40% a year(according to the u.n.)?.

  who is god blessing here again?.

  Anticipating future changes in the organisation - crystal ball gazing

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i posted the comment below on another thread on elders stepping down.

  although i left the jw's years ago, i still hold a fascination for the evolution of the religion and am curious on what future trends and developments may occur.

  so i thought i would start a thread on what future changes you think will occur in the organisation as the years go by, either doctrinally or organisationally:.

  I heard that one of the Former GB's freaked out when confronted with the idea of having to change some things. They can't except it!! So this religion will stay the same with a few minor changes until its burning all around them. Just remember they really do think its gods org.
