  I say the usual age is 15. People who convert to the JW faith, but who weren't raised in it, are usually in their late 30s and early 40s.

  Can We Make April 2004 Our Best Month Ever? Figures say otherwise

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw

  the first thing i read when i get the new kingdom ministry are the service report figures.

  i was surprised to see that for the month of april, the auxiliary pioneers were far less than what they had been in previous years, even though the number of dubs preaching were over 1 million.

  compare april 2004 with april 2000, and you can see a massive drop off in zeal, during the famous "memorial season"

  Questions about Jehovahs Witness???

  by JDWEEE in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  charles taze russell, founded the jw in the 1860's.

  which is based on his own interpretations of the bible.

  he had no theology education, and did not know the greek, and hebrew language.. question: how can an average man, with "no" education, interpret the bible correctly?.

  Question: How can an Average man, with "no" education, interpret the Bible correctly?

  With prayer.

  Question: Why would God allow man, to go for so long, up until the 1860's, without the correct interpretations of the Bible?

  JWs belief is that God has allowed enough time for humans to realize that they can't live happy and peacefully without his guidence.

  Question: Why would God guide, lead, and empower, people to write the scripture in a way that we could not understand, and interpret?

  They don't believe the Bible is too dificult to understand. People just don't want to accept things.JWs are right becuase they stay away from this wicked world, like Jesus.

  Question: Why should i, base my beleif on what an average man, such as myself, interpreted the Bible to really say, and mean?

  Study for yourself.

  Are JW teaching the truth??? Do JW's know the truth???

  by JDWEEE in

  2. beliefs

  i recently became interested in the jw, when a classmate of mine in college, told me he was a jw, and how it changed his life.

  i didnt know much about it, and asked him questions about his faith, and what it meant, and where it came from?

  and i was surprised at the answers he gave me, and became very interested, and wanted to learn more.. after asking him questions off, and on, for a period of time, i decided to go to the web, and find out more.

  They believe that the true worshippers of Jehovah were going to show up during the "last days" after a long period in which no other religion was practicing the real Bible truths. They believe this is part of the Bible's prophecy of "spiritual restauration".

  They also believe that Jehovah was in favor of Russell and his bible study groups and the "new understandings" that they were learning. Thus the rapid growth.

  The 15 minute rule - how long will its effects last?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that there is an ever growing number of people who are still active and are handing in "bumped up" hours.

  yet, i have never seen an article acknowledging this.

  to my mind, nothing has been printed that counsels witnesses on lying about their hours.. and all these bible studies - do you really see them at the meetings?
