  ratio of active to gone

  by kgfreeperson in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if there are 6 million active baptised jws in the world, how many inactive, df'd or da'd jws do you think there are?

  what effect do you think this number of not-active-for-whatever-reason has on the potential growth of jw?

  "apostate" columnist

  by kgfreeperson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sylvester brown began his first column in the st. louis post-dispatch talking about his experience going door to door as a very young jw.

  later in the column he indicated he is no longer a jw.

  will jws be subjected to disfellowshipping if they admit to reading his column?

  DC notes

  by kgfreeperson in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  maybe it is coincidence, but i notice we've only had reports on the saturday sessions of this year's dc.

  is that only because it is so much work to write these things up (i understand!

  ) or because people generally only go to one day?

  clueless, that is.

  i got a lovely send in my inbox but i can't reply to it (i get a page not found message--same thing i get when i try to edit a post).

  i suspect my problem is that i have a macintosh (os x) and use netscape.

  Why no JW charitable activities?

  by kgfreeperson in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is my impression that the only "community work" jws do is door-to-door preaching.

  how do they justify never taking an active, or at least organized, role in alleviating suffering--even of their own members?
