  The fraud that is the WT member numbers

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  ok i'm just thinking out load here so to speak.

  but let say in the year 2000 the wt says they have 1 million publishers and at the end of the year they say they had 300,000 people get baptized so in the beginning of the year 2001 they show 1,300,000 publishers.

  then in this new year they state another 300,000 get baptized but with 50,000 deaths and 50,000 disfellowshippings they stated at the end of year 2001 a total of 1,500,000 total members.

  I was thinking last night about the annual death rate in the world, it's 18 deaths per thousand. Then I realized that based on the orgs numbers they had 8m publisher as of 2015 roughly and according to some figures posted on this forum, from 2014 to 2015 they lost roughly 140,000 publishers. Well if my math is correct the death rate of 8 million is roughly 144,000 annually. So if this is correct then the borgs number seem to only reflect the death rate and not all the ones dfd or just quit. Again I smell a rat with their numbers.

  I read some where that they have predicted the end more times than any other religion in the last 100 plus years. They were even an answer on a game show about this type of thing.

  Good news to report: Congregations merged because lack of attendance, publishers & field service

  by Khaleesi in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so it's official, i am happy to report that we merged with another congregation having the same problem.

  why is it good news???

  because people are either waking up, fading or just not buying into this organization any longer or walking away.... i think many young ones are just not buying into it as much, i see many in the congregation i go to very depressed and some i know personally going thru major depression especially the young "sisters" in their early 20s.... .

  I think the year 2014 was big and many are now just walking away. The things that the GB have said has been very telling. The numbers of those leaving has to be just going up and up.

  I believe that the experts believe that the scrolls we're burried before the 1 century so in effect they never effected christianity.

  What Should the Minimum Wage Be (USA)?

  by Village Idiot in

  1. social
  2. current

  during the gop debates donald trump said that american’s “wages [are] too high” and later said “that having a low minimum wage is not a bad thing for this country” (7:25)..

  do you agree and if so why?.

  my two cents on this issue; do the math.

  is it just me or does it seem like a large portion of first born children leave the "truth" or find ttatt?

  its weird for me, but of all the other people out i know (only about 20 ish) they are all first borns, and usually the wife is as well.

  just looking at this from a different lens and curious if others see the same.

  Many people in the past have said they have anxiety when in large crowds, you could play that card. If the bring up blood don't say anything except that it's a conscience matter. If they push then say you don't want to take cows blood that will stop them in their tracks.

  whats so bad about believing people go to heaven?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it occurred to me today, that so often, my mother will make the comment that .

  "those false religions teach that everyone is going to heaven when they die, oh sure, .

  all you have to do is be a good person, and off you go to heaven.

  There are plenty of Scripture where it's said belief in Jesus or proclaiming him is enough to get save and live forever it's a gift. But that's not enough for JWs either. As long as a belief doesn't hurt people or cause them to waste their lives away, I have no problem with it.

  New way to fade?

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a brother in a local congregation has successfully faded, no announcements or judicial hearings that anyone has heard of.. his immediate family are all out, but they have lots of family still in.. if he had joined another religion, or the army, or put up christmas lights, likely the elders would be hounding them like crazy.. but no, he has accepted evolution(it seems to be common knowledge).. i would have thought this would be a disfellowshipping offense, but lots of time has passed, and they just leave them all alone..

  Lots of people quit with out being hounded, if asked many say thier scared of large crowds of people etc. I think if you don't say any thing they'll leave you alone, because what can they do? Only those that admit stuff while meeting with the elders run the chance at being dfd.
