Are JW's heading for the exit?

by pandorasbox1914 in

are jw's heading for the exit?

after lurking on this site for a year or so i have noticed a number of new poster's including me.

but does this indicate a massive departure for the exit?

In the past there was always a percentage of kids that would leave and not come back same with adults and those that we're dfd. Now the numbers of those are up I believe and of course the numbers of new ones coming from the world are way down. The internet and their crazy doctrines along with science, evolution, etc are some of the many reasons for this. Its becoming obvious to me that as time goes on with the death of the members and those leaving that they will in fact and probably already have seen a decrease in members in the western world. The signs are there too. Consolidation of halls, money, etc.

Its the same as why the Borg doesn't talk much doctrine anymore. All there doctrines have been so blown up by apostates and Christians that they don't dare talk about them. Proof is always in how the Borg acts and responds that's the tell tale sign.

Proof the GB changes scriptures in the Bible...really interesting

by MrsR-Awaken in

hello everyone, this info below me is not mine it's from a user in reddit that posted it.

his user name is question_and_answer1 i was hoping he was in this forum too but i don't know if he is.

anyway the credit goes to him for researching this and it's really interesting what he found and i want everyone here to read, and it's proof of how fake the watchtower is and how disgusting the gb really is...it's sickening.

I can see how the change can be exploited the words " profit" and "merchandise". They could then say all that is yours you followers of the slave is our and should be handed over at anytime we say, since you are our slaves.

Blood Components Hypocrsy

by pandorasbox1914 in

we all know the watchtower's stance on blood:.

blood components, plasma, red cells, white cells and platelets-no.

fractions-your bible trained conscience.

Crazyguy

Lets also not forget that in breast milk there's about 1 million white blood cells per drop. So if the Creator didn't want us eating blood then why put it in milk?

Preaching? For what purpose? All JW's need to ask this question.

by park ave boy in

what is the purpose of preaching if not for converts?.

basically, preaching by the jw's is to make converts.

this in itself implies that jehovah's witnesses believe that they alone have the only acceptable way to god and that everyone else is just not worthy.

Crazyguy

An elder said it was for strengthing the faith the last time spoke with them at my JC. I told them since the internet and YouTube no ones joining so what's the point. But the original poster is correct, the good news is Christ even Paul said he doesn't preach where Christ has already been preached.

The fraud that is the WT member numbers

by Crazyguy in

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.

Crazyguy

Upon further research it does seem as though my info was wrong on the death rate I should of listed about 9 not 18. Anyway that still accounts for nearly half the number of ones no longer counted. That too seems to be way to high, also I believe in the western part of the world the death rate of JWs is probably higher then the average do to poor health aged population etc. With all the talk of congregations dropping in other threads it's even more proof their numbers don't add up.

Walking a thin line - Resigning Elder

by Sanchy in

jw
friends

warning of a long boring post ahead.

i feel like i need to vent my story out, as i feel quite helpless at the moment.. i'm 31 year old, married, father of toddler with another one on the way, due later this month.

i've been serving as elder for about 4 years now in a south florida congregation.

My advise is stay in for your family and friends. Use family worship night to teach all the things the Borg doesn't teach concerning Jesus, love, not judging, love and more love. Teach your kids all of Jesus so called commandments. I'm no longer a believer in the Bible but still think this is the best way to wake up your wife and gets your children out. Planting seeds and asking questions too but one has to be careful not to push to much. While doing this make friends with non witnesses. Make a 10-15 year goal to have your wife and kids out. I did the exact opposite and ran as soon as I new it was all a lie. They marginalize you when you do this and say and do things to alienate you from your family so I have a big up hill battle. Unfortunately I do not have any advise on how to get through the meeting when you know it's all BS , I couldn't do it. Maybe smoking some pot before hand, good luck and welcome.

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.

Are J .W`s elligible for the Guinness Book of records for the most flip flops on doctrines ? In their 140? or so year history ?

by smiddy in

would the jehovah`s witnesses be a shoe in , for the most about face , flip flop , of doctrine , beliefs , and practices in this 21st century , to have previously strongly held beliefs and then for them to be discarded in their 140 ?

year history ?.

i think they take the cake .. smiddy.

Crazyguy

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.
