284000 baptized in 2017

by jw-verite in

seen in the 03/2018 watchtower study :.

"during the 2017 service year, more than 284,000 “rightly disposed” individuals symbolized their dedication to jehovah by water baptism.".

https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-march-2018/baptism-requirement-for-christians/.

I find it hard to believe the numbers are as high as the WT corporation suggest. They are a lying bunch of ass holes under cult delusions which is the primary reason for their bad state of affairs and stupid business decisions, they cherry pick facts and fudge figures all the time to support their agenda. So I'm in convinced that they are not being factual in reporting the figures, they must be first processed through WT corporation's agendas before being put in print. I'm sure the brother that collects this data has to go to the GB in a private session to give them the real figure and then the GB make up the number and give it to this brother for printing.

With all the reports of assemblies with nobody getting baptized or perhaps 1 nine year old I find this figure bogus.

Stop harassing jws

by pomo6780 in

we want people to learn ttatt.

we have numerous resources online to draw jws in so that they will wake up.

however, i've noted some radical methods that have been used by fellow exjws, and quite frankly, this must stop.

I don't agree with the barging in of a KH or shouting at cart drones.

I do think however that a respectful discussion with cart people can do a lot of good and so would never discourage it.

Even those that may shout at them I'm not that concerned enough to tell them to stop and it is true they may accomplish very little and in fact have a very reverse effect than intended. The religious fanatics they want to preach some religious dogma they espouse while the jubs are at their meetings or conventions also has no effect whatsoever. I just look at it as coming with the territory of their door to door activity and have a very so what attitude.

143rd Gilead Graduates cRiNGeWoRThY Song

by pale.emperor in

quite possibly the most cringeworthy thing i've seen them do yet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tk88rstv6o.

I think this is a sad and sorry attempt by Jehovah's earthly organization to be entertaining and draw in disciples using a beat in their music to make it more fun to sing. Next thing you know they might make every song a toe taper.

It's like beating a dead horse, what good would it do to just keep beating it when nobody has nothing to say today about it. We don't want it to become an unhealthy obsession so balance and the abilility change is a good sign one is not obsessed.

Why the move to Warwick?

by optimisticskeptic in

i've seen a lot of posts around and about warwick and the goings on there but was curious as to people's theories on why the move to warwick?

granted there's the obvious point about all of the money from the sale of properties in brooklyn but for as massive as warwick is, the purchase of an apartment complex there, multiple sites and buildings i would be surprised if they had much left from all of the profits.

so beyond a financial incentive why move?

Brokeback Watchtower

I think the move to Warwick was motivated by the fact that unconsciously at least the prime decision makers know they are in a downward spiral and armegeddon isn't gonna save them so they moved to a less conspicuous place to avoid as much embarrassment as possible. The great disappointment gotta come any day now because you can't keep say any day now for a thousand years into the future,, eventually your subscribing members will dwindle down to zero.

The Opinion From the Appellate Court Regarding the Padron Case

by pometerre21 in

thought i would post the link to the actual opinion regarding watchtower's refusal to release documents:.

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4214443-padron-appeal-opinion.html.

i sat reading all thirty-nine pages and it made me sick afterwards.

Brokeback Watchtower

I does seem that the WT corporation is pretty desperate and trying hard not to hand over those files. Coming up with the same arguments and failing to comply with court orders. This makes me very curious as to what they are trying to hide.

Russian Court authorizes seizure of outlawed sect children

interesting development in russia... according to this article on youtube, it appears that children that are subjected to being involved in banned social or religious groups can be removed from their parents..

Brokeback Watchtower

I wonder if with Russia's extremist classification can they work international law to go after those at headquarters USA for monetary damages and other charges?

That definitely put a stop to the preaching work in that country what parent is gonna want to risk having his kids taken from him by secretly doing the preaching work and cart work is a definite no no. I'm sure the government is well aware of WT sneaky tactics to keep them preaching to spread their indoctrination on to unsuspecting people.
