I think the gb read the same survey I did where it stated that only 16% of people change religions or leave and of that 16 % only 3% actually change to a new religion. The rest just leave religion altogether.

New Bibles on the website
by HowTheBibleWasCreated ini was going through a few websites and isolating text of the 'deuteronimist history' for my channel on youtube today when i opened a tab to jw.org to see if they had actually dome anything in a few days.
to my surprise up popped the new bibles.. no for many year the only one they had was nwt 1984 and as of 2 years ago the rnwt with audio coming in slowly.
(the guys that do ezra are crap and lett ruins mark) a week or two ago they started adding a study bible starting with matthew.

Just missed an opportunity to see Richard Dawkins speak at a small venue.
by cappytan inrichard dawkins had two speaking engagements at the local unitarian universalist church last week.. only just heard about it today!.

Has anyone noticed how in the October JW Broadcast, Losch encourages good works towards ALL people?
by Tenacious ini can't help but notice how this past year alone has seen the gb start to turn more towards the teachings of the christ instead of peddling their falsities.. study articles have talked in length about the fine works of christ.
assemblies have been dedicated to speaking about christ.
and this month's broadcast is about doing good to others copying the example christ left for us.. what's more shocking is that losch actually says kids should speak, share, and even give food and clothing to non-believers!!

I believe they only brought up Jesus this year because ones on this site were producing graphs showing how little they talk about him. The good deeds crap is to help with thier charity BS thier trying g to sell to the government's. -

The assignment of these back to thier home countries and the fact that all missionaries have to be self sufficient is proof that jehovah's organizations cares more about money then spreading it's good news. The reduction of special pioneers makes it even more obvious. They realize that new ones from areas like Africa makes them no profit. -

If you were ‘God’, what would you do?
by JWchange inthis post is not meant to be blasphemous to non-atheists on this forum , just philosophical.
i refer to a god rather than the creator.
it;s 10,000 years in the future and you are a phd student with a brain the size of a planet, that has incredible technology at your fingertips to create life, similar to humans living today or better, intelligently and physically.

This was always my problem with being a JW, couldn't justify the actions of this Bible God killing people and then letting others suffer for thousands of years to prove we need him when he never did one positive thing for mankind in the first place. Also the fact that this God seems to love death, human and animal sacrifices and the smell of burning flesh. I have more love in my left nut then this God has ever shown to anyone. So I no longer worship him. -

He says at the end of his article that the Spanish branch was closed because the government wanted monies to be put into their pension program for all the workers at the branch. What year was this branch closed? -

by fulltimestudent indon't guess many people will spend 7 minutes listening to this, but it does have a certain novelty value, and in view of the epic throwing some light on the bible story:.

That's awesome to see so much press coverage. Hopefully in the future the JW's will be known only as that cult that hides pedophiles and nothing else.
