i got home, ate dinner, got myself dressed for the meeting, and helped my kids get ready like i usually did.. my son had a talk that evening, his second one.

many of my family went to support him.

How's it going with your kids, are you having any success with waking them up and if so what have you said?

Some Watchtower growth projection numbers (5 scenarios)

by Saintbertholdt in

i've been doing some watchtower membership growth projections.

the best, worst and most lightly future scenarios.

i've used the worlds population as a barometer of future watchtower growth.

JW facts states I believe for every two the get baptised one leaves, I'm thinking it's becoming a one to one ratio.

i've used the worlds population as a barometer of future watchtower growth.

The numbers they report now are inflated, little kids being counted old ones in rest homes etc. These numbers will continue to be inflated but more young ones will leave as it becomes obvious that they are no longer relevant. They are not closing down halls all over because they continue to grow at 1-2% per year like they claim.

Just look at my first post last comment by Obrien, he's totally LYING! THEN keep reading my second post and tell me how he's still not lying? It's not suttle at all.

Is it Wrong to Doubt or Even Disagree With the GB? The Watchtower Reasoning....

by freemindfade in

this would be a good one for jw apologist who scream and panic with anyone who feels the moral direction of the wt publishing company has gone astray.

a comment at the bible highlights last night blew my mind, here is the article that was referenced.

btw this account always bothered me, remember when it was in a drama?

Crazyguy

This sounds like more ammo to use against the GB

Ozgirl posted this transcript on another thread, way to go girl. The lies continue.

The CHAIR — What does that mean in relation to acting further? What would you do?

Mr T. O’BRIEN — If there were two independent witnesses to the same type of offence — say child sexual

abuse of some kind — then a judicial committee would be formed.

The CHAIR — Do you report that to the police? Sexual abuse is of a criminal nature; would you report that

to the police?

Mr T. O’BRIEN — As we understand, that is within the decision making of the victim, not the minister.

We would encourage the victim, if they want to report it to the police, to certainly do that. The elders would

cooperate fully with the police, and we would never discourage anyone from reporting it to police, but without

mandatory reporting we do not feel that as ministers of religion that is our obligation to do that.

This is just from the first page!!!!!

The CHAIR — My question is: does the church maintain records on the number, nature and extent as well

as the outcomes of any allegations of child abuse?

Mr T. O’BRIEN — Yes, they do.

I'll post more when I can Satan is messing with my computer,lol

The CHAIR — If so, what does that data tell you? Can you explain a little bit more about those records, the

nature of the abuse and what you actually do about that?

Mr T. O’BRIEN — The purpose in retaining the records is, one, to make sure if a person has been

disfellowshipped or disciplined in the past for child sexual abuse, then it would be extremely unlikely they

would qualify to be used as a minister in the organisation. If there is even a report of an accusation, we maintain

a record of that, because if someone was to move to another congregation, for example, and a similar accusation

came from there, even if it is only based upon one witness, there are two accusations from two different

witnesses. That would be sufficient for us to act further.

Thier consolidation is pointing to something, whether or not thier just being paranoid and greedy about money now because they lost thier shirts in the stock market back in 2008-2009 and then saw how little money they were getting from the r&f when the economy was bad, maybe that's all it is. But they have sold off a lot of assets stolen money from KHs, and are now downsizing thier operations less KHs not paying for missionarys to go to other lands etc. Gilead members being assigned not to other countries but areas in the USA. This is all very telling. This tells me they may not being going anywhere anytime soon but some one has told them that thier growth is over and maybe they have been also told that all Christian growth is over.

I live near Seattle, this city now has a 10% population that are atheists most of any major city in the US. Europe has a huge population that are non religious and with out being total atheists the non religious population of the world is growing by leaps and bounds. Remember thousands of years ago there were thousands of God's, in most parts of the world there is belief now in only one God. Only one God to go.

Band Green Day and JWs

by hardtobeme in

a few years ago i heard of a story about two jw's being at a green day concert.

i think that the witnesses were bethelites.

the person that told me that story said that the band was about to play but they couldn't.

Crazyguy

I heard Ozzie Osborne ate the head right off a JW at a concert. No really it's true.

JW Broadcasting is dying.

by John Aquila in

once a month about 15 to 20 elderly jw publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view jw broadcasting.

these publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet.

they are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.

Crazyguy

I'm sure there are plenty that still eat up the crap bust most jumped on the band wagon when it was knew then got off, that's what happened with my wife and oldest kid anyway. Let's not forget most would not go to meeting if no one was watching.
