  Convention statistic

  by dothemath in

  the wife got back from the convention, and mentioned one point from the co talk.. he gave the statistic that on average, there are about 780 people baptized every day in the world!

  everyone was amazed.. i broke it to her that there used to be a lot more.

  i recall giving a talk and at that time there were around 1200/day.

  Nice breakdown Dio, the more they brag the more you know their going in the opposite direction. Your death rate at 1% and your dfd at 1 then add the number of those that fade away and those that never got baptized as kids but were considered publishers at one time and what do you get? A lot of Kingdom Halls up for sale.

  It’s amazing that this happened so long ago seems like it was only a couple of years ago.

  It’s also kinda amazing to see posts from people that I’ve never seen before. All these people that were JWs and were able to move on with their lives and have no need to come to a site like this anymore. I hope I can do the same with my family some day.

  JWFacts is incorrect about "Holy Spirit". Do YOU know about the 40 or so years the WT taught there was NO holy spirit?

  by Bad_Wolf in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i did my own extensive research as i was getting out, and by exploring actual changes and mentions of core doctrine, i learned how it came about that the gb teach that only they know the truth and only they get holy spirit.

  i was checking if jwfacts had it, and although they mention many older articles, it seems they didn't realize they taught there was no holy spirit.

  this was a real big eye opener for me, so thought i'd share it, and curious if any of you knew about this yourselves????.

  Did they really teach it for 40 years? I thought it wasn’t until some time in the late 20s that they started teaching jesus invisible return in 1914?

  If this is the case then they would have only taught it from about 28-48?

  What was the EXACT exJW website you first visited and why EXACTLY did you visit it?

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  i had two episodes of visiting exjw websites:one time around 2007 when i just googled "jehovah´s witnesses" and dared to look at those sites.

  i was scared and i promised myself i would never come back to them.

  however, that one didn´t really count.the moment that woke me up was this:i got to know that whitney heichel was a jw and murdered by another jw, because i overheard that conversation in a kingdom hall.i looked up the news and in one of the news comments, there was one where an exjw was complaining that they were hijacking her funeral and they were really trying to downplay the fact that her murderer was a jw... and then it said "visit jwfacts.com"... which i did.and the rest... is history.what exactly got you onto an apostate website when you woke up?

  I think the site I first visited that really got my brain turning was 2001translation. Site.

  This site is a Septuagint translation site but they also have commentaries. These commentaries helped to open up my brain to different prospectives on the scriptures. This site and reading older WT publications really helped to find TTATT.

  I remember in one of his books Rutherford pretty much said the Holy Spirit was gone and he got his information from Angels. Can’t remember the book Vindication maybe.

  Nature is amazing :)

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. jw

  i studied biology at uni and specialised in animal biology (wolf behaviour) but i've always liked natural history.. even if i never went to uni, i'd still be amazed by nature and i'd still watch nature programs on tv.. i'd like start a thread where posters can post nature clips that are in some way amazing.. the vid below shows wild wolves in the canadian arctic encountering humans for the first time.. these wolves haven't been exterminated by human hunters and therefore haven't learnt to fear humans.

  result: wild wolves approach human strangers almost like dogs.

  pretty cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgavk7fovu .

  Maybe the reason their willing to approach these men is one , they have been fed before by the other guy and two their The apex predator so they just don’t have the fear for man yet.

  I remember when I was growing up as a JW they using some scripture saying something of the sort that god put into animal to be afraid of man. Just another bible error.

  So India has now become the place we’re all the growth is and all the funds will go. Makes sense JWs won’t be able to verify if the money is being used there or not. They can make up any amount of publishers and spread all the propaganda about all the growth and JWs will be non the wiser. Brilliant, if your a money scamming cult!

  hi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.

  today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.

  they say people in warwick were commenting on this.

  They aren’t going to change and major doctrine. If you have paid attention they have been doing the exact opposite. They ofcourse are saying something to drive interest so they can keep people pluged in.
