hello,.

i've posted the 2016 yearbook service report in excel format for public download.

here's the link: http://www.filedropper.com/2016yearbookofjwinexcelformat.

I think they lost 140k roughly from 2014-2015 based on baptisms and average publisher numbers. When was the last time they lost so many? These numbers also maybe the reason they have shut down their construction projects.

Watchtower crackdown on anointed expansion - are they reaching for a solution to the expanding numbers problem?

by slimboyfat in

if this has been discussed i missed it.

i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.

but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.

Crazyguy

They have marginalized the anointed for years now putting the emphasis on the faithful and discreet slave which of course is only the seven goof balls in new York. Anyway anyone at a hall that sees someone professing to be anointed just thinks that person has a screw loose.

What's the status of this org financially?

by megaboy in

soooo... i think the main strength of this group is having the finances to keep this con game going.

i'm hoping that the pedophilia cases are draining them dry so we can be rid of this stumbling block from an organizational stand point.

how is the constant surge of bad news getting out on them effecting the everyday person in this organization?

Crazyguy

Problem is with all their new apps new tv programs and video's their keeping their flock as delusional as never before. Its also for many of the rank and file their only social life so they just continue on. Its really sad so many people are wasting their lives away for nothing.

Yahweh and Baal

by opusdei1972 in

this is what we can read from the jewish encyclopedia:.

the name ba'al (), apparently as an equivalent for yhwh, occurs as an element in a number of compound proper names, such as jerubbaal, ishbaal, meribaal, etc.

some of these names, probably at a time when the name of baal had fallen into disrepute (comp.

Careful, the word Lord is the same as the word Baal, so yes every time you see the word lord think the word Baal when reading your bible. The big problem here is the translation of words in the bible. The word Elohim means Gods but its translated in the bible as God. Baal changed to Lord and the word Angels is put in places to infer heavenly like beings of god yet this idea is Greek and the old testament should not have this word in it. I also believe the meaning of the word Amen was changed and it actually is referring to the God Amen.

Some speculate this based on a found translation of Duet 32:8. But one problem with this idea is Yahweh is described just like El. But there is some evidence that the God Elyon was a God above the God El and not El himself. Anyway it's hard to tell for sure since every city or community may have their Pantheon of Gods be just a bit different then another community. Another problem is names could altogether change, Baal had different names, and at times one can't tell if they we're refuring to the same God. Another thought is that yhwh wasn't actually refuring to one God but a family of gods. El,Ashurah, Baal,Anat for example.

One other thought I have had recently is about the goddess Anat. She is never mentioned in the Bible but almost all the other top gods of the Canaanites are. She is a war God, so I'm wondering if maybe Yahweh isnt some form of her. Her name is mentioned in a Jewish stronghold in Egypt in a letter as Anat-Yahu. Just a thought but we find this kind of thing in Egypt where a God is an aspect of another God. Amen become one with Ra so does Atum and a couple of other Egyptian gods.
