  United States baptism stats 1969-2015

  by the comet in

  whenever the new yearbooks come out, we all look at the figures and see the publisher increase never really matches up with the baptism figures.

  it never should match up as all newly baptized ones are already publishers, and may have been for many years.

  i, as an example, became an unbaptized publisher at age 11. i didn't get baptized until i was 17. .

  I would think the death rate would be small especially after 1975, because most from that point on are younger ones already in the Borg.

  Even the Overlapping Generations isn't an original concept

  by paradisebeauty in

  to my surprise, i found this: .

  the overlapping generations model is an economic model .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/overlapping_generations_model.

  if those people from wt are inspired, why can't they at least come up with something original .....

  Maybe you should go back get reinstated then fade. But then of course if your husband doesn't remarry then your not able to. So take it slow figure out what kind of future you want then do what it takes to make that happen. Welcome.

  being given holy spirit is not the same as being anointed, nor are they the same as 144,000

  so im at my moms the other day, and there lay the latest january study issue has an article about the whole made up silly story of the upper room and the holy spirit.

  [ how hard it is to be quiet....] .

  I not sure if this will help but Christ is the only one anointed, believers in Christ are part of Christs body and being part of his body means they are part of him anointed through him. All Christians are part of the body their is no distinction or favoritism. Any other understanding is not what the writers were trying to get across and is a lie.

  I would like to find an original translation one with the words Baal for lord, Elohim for yhwh, El for God etc. I wonder how many times Amen is truly used in the original translation for the name of God.

  Is the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses really an inferior form of Christianity?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  seems to be quite a few posters recently pulling down the beliefs of jw's as not biblical or truly christian.

  maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong, i really don't care.. in some important ways though mainstream christians often behave better than jehovah's witnesses; most don't practice shunning or impose lethal medical prohibitions on their members.

  many are far more tolerant of the lgbt community and a few even make the awkward attempt to square the fact of evolution with their faith.. please note that i'm saying some, not all.. so i suppose it's fair to say that differing forms of christianity can be better or worse for individuals, families and the wider community.

  JWs do not follow the teachings of Christ. If they could remove him and go back to the law code of the old testament they would in a heart beat. So yes they are inferior and in fact not Christian at all!

  Rumour about the reason of my disfellowshipping: Spiritism!

  by Daniel1555 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in november i was disfellowshipped for apostasy or in other words, because i live by my conscience and not according to the unloving rules of a human organisation.

  details of my story and the judicial committee you find in my older threads.. i am lucky, as the relationship to my parents is the same as before.

  now my mother told me what one elder (cobe of the congregation of my ex wife) told one sister.. he met her on the street and talked about my disfellowshipping.

  Try to reason with your dad using some Scriptures we can help you get the Scriptures you need. If that doesn't work then prepare yourself to leave but we should know how many family members are jws? Can you get baptized and fade away later with out any real problems or loss of family?
