  Jehovah's Witnesses May Have Peaked in Membership at 8 Million (+/-)

  i don't have all the details of their new "service year" numbers, but i have read enough on jwn to state my opinion pretty strongly.. memorial attendance for 2015 was down.while they kept saying they were going to build a bunch of new kingdom halls, and everybody is still in recovery from watchtower taking all the local money away, they say pretty much that there isn't enough money to build new kingdom halls.putting gb members on the videos at jw .

  org has allowed people to really put a face and personality to these guys and remove the mystery of how they should be such deeply spiritual serious men.

  instead they see silly thoughts about tight pants and, really everything that comes out of lett's mouth is delivered ultra-goofy, along with the money reports.. the gb lost credibility a little more with every new light that shone down, with the strangest one being "overlapping generation.

  The biggest mistake the GB made, "putting those clowns on

  the videos at JW. ORG.

  Hirohito the emperor of Japan in ww2, A God. I wonder how the people felt

  after they heard his voice for the first time at the end of the war, he is just a

  little man.

  Hypothetical Question...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just thinking that the org has said lots of outrageous things over it's history and most jws just continue onward without a second thought.

  so my question is what do you think would have to be said from the platform or wt to get people to get up and walk out immediately?

  is it even possible?

  My Explanation of God.

  by LAWHFol in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am a theist & this is my version of god.. instead of using the term god, i'll use "unseen presence".. this unseen presence, is perfect in every way.

  this presence is so perfect it can seem a bit boring.this perfection can be seen in the laws of science, for example gravity.. it does not sometimes work, depending on the mood of some one in the sky, it always works, perfectly.

  gravity does not get angry and decide to stop working, and cause the death of innumerable living beings, it just works, through thick or thin, it is reliable.. what allows this unseen presence to remain perfect, is the fact that it does not act based on emotion, or strategy or regret.. it acts based on law, mathematical law.. this unseen presence is not partial to jews or muslims or jw's it is completely impartial at all times, to everything that exists.

  "A look at the 4 ways Americans view God" By Dan Harris

  28% believe in an "authoritative God.

  22% mostly evangelic women, they characterize the almighty as a "benevolent God"

  who is thoroughly involved in their lives but is loving, not stern.

  Third group believe in a "critical God", who is removed from daily events but will

  render judgment in the after life.

  The fourth group, view God as a "distant God' who set the universe in motion, but

  then disengaged. These tend to be higher educated, more "spiritual people."

  if you actually read the stories, satan doesn't do much other than to tempt people.

  into disobeying the dictates of god, who acts like a heavenly dictator with borderline.

  I don't get it, these young men action are the same as the God of the OT,

  maybe not as brutal as the God of the OT but none the less insane.

  You would think people would examine the Bible to see, where does all this anger

  come from. How can they say, this is done in the name of God.

  ISIS are called a terrorist group, what the hell do you call God's chosen people in the OT.
