so why has the growth flatlined?

why is less time spent in the ministry?

why have aux pios droped by 1/3rd?.

Yesterday around 3 o'clock in the afternoon sit two elderly ladies on the steps of the
kh with their cart. There are two large pillars and each lady was sitting behind one.
Ok, first of all people are not rushing to go to the kh, the location of the kh there is
not a lot of street traffic. I slowed up in front and the ladies peeped around the pillars and
the look on their face said it all, don't bother us please or they were in shock that someone
looked in their direction.
It's a pitiful organization. You piss people off by knocking on their doors and you expect people
to rush to the steps of the kh to get the worthless JW good news.

240 'Lands'
by Jeffro in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
jehovah's witnesses are purportedly 'active' in 240 'lands', quite a remarkable feat for a planet with only about 200 sovereign states (206 if you count all that are recognised by at least one un member, of which jws are present in 166).

more than half of all jws worldwide are in just 10 countries.

over 90% are in 45 countries.. to achieve this mathematical miracle, various places that are not separate countries are counted as 'lands'.. tahiti is counted as a separate 'land' though it is part of the society islands, which is part of french polynesia, which is part of... france.

The ten most dangerous countries for Christians Laos, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Yemen,
Maldives, Somalia, Saud, Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea.
I wonder do Jehovah know about these countries..

In the 60's and 70's you would hear these comments from non- believers,
my neighbor is a JW and they are good people, my sister is a JW and I admire their
dedication. Today if you ask someone what do they think about JW's you get entirely
different comments. My sister is a JW and I told her she is in a cult, my neighbor is
a JW and he's a little strange, what happen to 1975 are they still around don't see them anymore,
or I don't know a lot about JW's but I know they don't believe in blood transfusion, no Xmas and other holidays.
Families that know first hand about JW due to the fact there are JW's in their family seldom have any
thing positive to say today.

WT OCT 2015 - 3 Questions People Would Like to Ask God - how about you?
by ttdtt in
1. watchtower
2. bible
1: where the "f" are you, since there are no signs of your existence?.

2: why did you "create" life forms that by default hate to follow what your rules.. 3:.

from what i read in the bible, why are you such a petulant, vengeful, bi-polar nut who seems to only look for flesh and spirit to kiss you enormous godly ass?.
James Mixon

A man dies and goes to Heaven. He meets God and ask if he can ask him a few question.
God said fire away.
OK, the man says, "why did you make women so pretty"?
God says, "so you would like them".
OK, the guy says "but how come you made them so beautiful"?
God replies "so you would love them".
The man ponders a moment and then ask, "but why did you make them such airheads"?
God say, "so they would LOVE your stupid ass".

People who are happy in the org

i don't know if i can put my musings clearly into words , but i' ll try to be coherant !

on a couple of other threads lately folk have said that they have no wish to disenchant jws who are happy in the org .

those who have no personal problems and are content to stay in , thinking that it is good way to live and the nearest thing to the truth .
James Mixon

Desirous: Yes that is what I see with my daughter friends (all JW), they are seeking
better jobs and they are getting their kids more involved in school activities, but you
wonder how many of their kids( her friends kids) will stay in the borg. There are no
window washer among her friends (there is nothing wrong with being a window washer, it's a
honest living). The kids she grew up with are fireman,nurses, in marketing,disability claim adjuster
in other words they are not pioneers, standing on street corners. There is definitely a shift taking
place among the young ones.

My daughter and her husband are very happy, but I wonder about their kids?
The key in their happiness, they are not fanatical. It seems to me the younger ones
are taking a different path. My family members who are JW's, Christian and Mormon
are very happy. The funny thing they can't understand how can I be so happy in life. LOL
I can't say the same for my other daughter, she is one of those fanatical JW, but I will be there
for her if she ever wake up are become balance.

1 Thessalonians 5: 3 "Peace and Safety". What wrong with this picture?
by James Mixon in
1. watchtower
2. bible
so jehovah is against peace and safety here on earth.

is he jealous because beelzebub.

is bring peace something the all knowing couldn't do.. think about it, if we were at the threshold of peace here on earth and god says hell no i will.

johnamos: which crimes would prevent those 50,00 from living on that island?
Homosexual, adultery,lying about virginity for women (not men),bestiality(if a guy love having sex
with a sheep does he deserve to die), having sex with a woman who is menstruating,
eating a cheeseburger or anything that mixes meat and dairy (EX.23:19), eating pork,
being a male who is not circumcised, practicing magic and dressing across gender lines.
The point which crimes are worthy of death?Which religious group will be on that island?

Johnamos: do I understand what you are saying, "it's necessary for God to annihilate X numbers
of folks?? If so , why? He did that in the great flood, how did that work out?
