When will the JW's start reversing?

i think this sucker could start reversing membership within a few months..

There is an answer to the other religions have survived argument.

Other religions don't rely so much on preaching to gain numbers. There is a superchurning inside the JW's. More and more hours are needed to gain members with US and UK numbers possibly already falling.

Second they have and do heavily rely on US and UK rich countries for the main flow of money. I just don't see too many ways out for them at this point. Are they going to start doing daycare and celebrating Christmas? If you look at pew survey it says most of these religions are surviving or

growing because they are dramatically adapting. I just don't see too much room for JW's to adapt.

by Terry in

in fort worth, texas around 1959. gradually i became aware of the argot.

special, private language).

jw's had these phrases they used over and over again.. upon first hearing, these words and phrases stood out as odd, weird or awkward.. however.

The "society" was used heavily now it's called "the branch".

"District conventions" are now "regional conventions".

The "faithful and discreet slave" is now called "anti-christ".

j-dubbed: You are dealing with the best of the best cults. I've known people that lived and died swearing this is the truth. It is you and your family

vs a whole organization who regularly meets together. Maybe reading "combatting cult mind control" would help. If you want to go the bible

don't argue the trinity argue Jesus being the mediator to God and man and luke 21:8 false prophets/teachers. You have to not seem like you are just

trying to win the argument. Appeal to the heart etc. etc..

Why do cults love Tunnels?

by runForever in

hehehe, brooklyn bethel had tunnels that went under the street to other buildings and now this warwick will have tunnels.. maybe it's because:" everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

".

maybe they will be in their tunnels when they are saying : "say to the mountains, 'fall on us,' and to the hills, 'cover us.

7 questions to make JWs think

by Coded Logic in

jw
friends

) why do animals suffer and die?.

) if this is all about god's soverenty, why cause the flood?

how does it prove "man cannot direct their own step" if god immediately turns around and wipes men out for " eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage ?".

The bible questions will get nowhere, maybe 4,5,6 would work.

Warwick, Class 5 Building project, Why?

by DwainBowman in

so what is a class 5 project?.

it is one done to the highest standards.

paint & drywall, fit and finish, of everything to perfection.

Hmm, very interesting. So when they are building other branches and kingdom halls voluntary labor is the modest thing to do and anything can

be done with holy spirit but hey we want this done right because we will be living there. In jw's should pay close attention to how this mimics

governments. You will notice that somehow by magic everything is just better closer to the capitals and then not as nice the farther away you get.

Warwick is the main capital building of jw land and the branches are like the individual states.

If the idea of Jesus as messiah was so appealing to the majority jews as you say why did and do most of them reject him?

If Jesus was in heaven and knew things would be completed (on earth) why worry?

Possibly he knew that certain things had to happen but didn't know exactly how they were to happen or the intensity of those things.

A picture of a WT dream

by Sour Grapes in

people stay jehovah's witnesses for several reasons.

the foremost is because they are taught that they could cheat death and not have to die or even better yet not have to get old.

the second is they can see their dead relatives again , who have a direct pass to paradise, and that we must obey to get there to see them in the resurrection.

What you don't see is Logan trying to escape while some psycopaths try to kill him. Satanic reversal anyone?
