i think the first thing to consider is that it takes a while for humans to wake up to the truth.
this is not just a jw thing.

They 'claim' to have that many, a 'claim' is about it. They have to massage that number.

BethSarim : All the conspiracy theories about Wt doctoring it numbers is, just simply, not true.
I also firmly believe that the Mormon church been more successful is just as fictional as well.

I’ve heard it stated. That if it wasn’t for Mormons having 3 children families. The church membership would be in free fall in the United States.
So, bear in mind, Wt certainly is not alone in that regard.
well don't know if this page has tread for new years predictions or with date it starts.
so might as well start now.
my new year's prediction for watchtower would be a big big sell out of kingdom hall's.
As people are saying they will not ever go back to what the religion was before.
When Nath and Freddie died so did the religion.

I to agree with slim. I think the JWs have done better than most in the present environment.
what is your story?
we would love to “hear” from you!

That’s the the thing that bugs me was just how easy it was to fade. I was in the troof for decades, and literally knew thousands up and down the country. Physically walked out about a decade ago, and to this day I could count on half of one hand those that I’ve been in contact with. I’m really in 2 minds as how to take it. As an insult due to their lack of concern, or as a blessing as it saved me the hassle of having to deal with them. I hear reports of people been tracked down by elders but that was certainly not the case with me. Call me fortunate I guess.
one of my jw family member had a big get together.
he invited a lot of his jw friends.
there was teenage kids, couples, singles.
Congregation location please as I’d like to attend it.
i don't think that it's too early to start this thread so .
merry christmas everyone.
maybe people could share christmas music or clips to get us all in the mood.
To be honest, I consider my JW upbringing not celebrating Christmas to be advantageous. I just can’t be bothered with it but merry Christmas.
as the title says, we are nearly at the end of the 2nd year of the 2020’s, and already jw org is not only a car crash, but an absolute train wreck.. i’ve watched the annual meeting 2021 already, and it seems the gb are in fighting, morris openly disagreeing with lett, that is massive, and it’s something that has largely not been commented on by this community.
covid-19 is not going anywhere, any trial meetings will surely be shut down, now omicron is doing the rounds.. it looks highly likely we will see a second negative growth year.
“young ones” are waking up by the masses.
I have demonstrated in the past that there are other religious groups that are doing a lot worse than the JWs. For example of the 16 million LDS members the church claims. The actual number who regularly attend could be as low as 3 million. Of the 3 million world wide, those that believe it enough to hold a temple recommend card could be as few as 1.5 million. Even with a jw activity, and belief, rate of 50% they would way out strip the Mormon church. I actually think in the present climate the JWs have done remarkably well.
hello to all you good people.
an elder who i knew in my jw days has just been employed at my place of work.
now i want to be prepared for him when he encourages me to return to jehovah.
Here is the first you tube clip. I just have to find the JW/Chile one.

What I’m after is that link. I remember seeing it some time ago. It shows JWs at an assembly in Chile, acting like it was a Pentecostal meeting. Then it goes to an actual Pentecostal meeting. There is virtually no difference
