  How Close Do YOU Live To BETHEL?

  by RAYZORBLADE in

  ya know, i've had to wonder, since the comment had been posed to me some time ago about various parts of the world, and how close they live to their respective bethels.

  so how close do you live to bethel (of your country)?.

  the reason i ask is, at least around here, the closer you live to bethel, it seems the more spiritual (jw sense of the word) some of our posters are.

  I think that this is how it goes: The average JW should be helped by the loval congrefation.. IF the whole congreagation is in critical need then they get help from the surrounding congregations. If the whole area can't possible send relief, then it's up to the branch what measures they should take. And they often do help.

  "When All Other Religions Are Destroyed, Then, They'll Come After Us"

  do you recall this being said, over and over again?

  we, as witnesses, will look like we're on the brink of extinction, and all of a sudden, jehovah will protect his people, like his eyeball.

  is this crazy or what??

  No Hamas. It does not tell us who will attack them. I will try to look for the "Pay Attention to Daniel's Prophecy" book more. I know it talks about this n the last chapters of the book. It also tells us that the King of the North likes weapons and also uses terrorism to scare people.

  about seven weeks ago i posted here for the first time.

  in that post i said i'd like to be reinstated but felt it likely wouldn't happen because the shunning was too much for me.

  well, my prayers have been answered and i am reinstated.

  he isn't a witness, and this is causing some issues with the family.

  She must be a very spiritual weak JW to marry outside the faith.

  Why Do JWs Only Preach In Poor/Middle Class Neighborhoods?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  as my name suggests, i'm from nyc.

  i've lived in every borough of new york and spent time at most of the local congregations until i finally decided that it was all for nothing (my recent posts on this forum explain why).

  during this time, i noticed an interesting pattern - the jws only preach in poor to middle class neighborhoods.

  sep - pubs: 971,346 pioneers: 88,341. oct - pubs: 972,450 pioneers: 91,101. nov - pubs: 973,067 pioneers: 89,083. dec - pubs: 895,241 pioneers: 90,654. jan - pubs: 986,419 pioneers: 89,325. feb - pubs: 983,963 pioneers: 89,251. mar - pubs: 1,003,431 pioneers: 87,878. apr - pubs: 991,499 pioneers: 87,377. may - pubs: 992,412 pioneers: 86,884. jun - pubs: 963,000 pioneers: 84,900. figures for jun are approximates as i only glanced at the sep km and do not have it yet.. but there is a clear indication that despite all the talks to do more and pioneer, and the aug km talk on.
