in my plan to exit the jw i thought it would be good if i adhere to another faith group, not cultish as the jw but non trinitarian.. this is decided for the sake of my children (two sons)'s spritual safety.
i researched the internet and in the non trinitarian groups i found these christadelphian.
any idea about this group?.

9. They do not stress the door-to-door work, rightly viewing it as grossly inefficient for proselylising.
Ah so that must be the reason why (although the religion of the christadelphians is older) there are about 50,000-60,000 (active and inactive) of them walking on the surface of the earth compared with 'only' 7,8 million JW active publishers and 19 million JW visitors.
i was just thinking it will be interesting to see how the wts emergency relief fund will operate in the philippines.
ok it worked well with the storm in florida, with cashing in on the insurance cheques.
sorry to generalize, but americans have the disposable income, and the insurance polices for things like this - a thing the wtbts finds very attractive.
@jeffro the 6% growth was the percentage of growth of just one year, last year. But you can check more yearbooks and see that their growth after the earthquake is high

@joe134cd i saw this link popping up when browsing
quote from the article is
There are an estimated 10,000 of Jehovah’s Witnesses who lived in the disaster area. Today, 6 weeks after this tragedy of epic proportions and with only a few weeks until the rainy season, a reported 700,000 people are living out in the open in makeshift shelters. Efforts are being made to provide adequate transitional housing. Pre-fabricated wood and tin structures are being prepared to be assembled on-site for the approximately 5000 witnesses that have lost their homes.
And i think the JW's did a good job since this article speaks about 10,000 witnesses and in last years yearbook the average nr of publishers was 17,403 and 6% growth so in just a few years the number of JW's almost doubled in size there
i think we are witnessing major events in our time period.look at the snoweden situation and the continuing arab spring and the issue of income inequality.we are seeing that people are questioning the old values and briging up new ones.i belieive we are also approaching a much more secular world as well.. people today are a lot more skeptical of those in power than before and this all part of a change in our values.look at as well the advancement of science and technology.we are able to treat illness once thought uncurable.the future does not look bleak despite what the jw's say.yes we have been thorugh wars ad famines and illness but we are treating those things fast.according to the u.n they plan to cut world poverty in half.. this is good..
@Lostgeneration I understand people like you who prefer to stay in denial in order to sleep well every night. But facts are facts and remain facts. The fact is.. this world is doomed. I sleep well and have a happy and meaningful life because at least i know a solution for this doomsday is on its way.

@wasblind it looks like you make up your own doctrines and beliefs or did not pay attention at all when you were in any Kingdom Hall. In any way your thoughts does not match mine at all.

@wasblind in emergency situations all do no matter what a family member believes, thinking otherwise makes you look not that smart

@shirley i did not say that at all. I said that it is natural that one would help his familymembers FIRST.
...and then think that they have a science education!.
Ismael i dont need awakes and watchtowers to believe that God is almighty and capable of doing all he wants. I just rely on the bible for that. And i have no problem with people that prefer to believe that stories about God,.. angels the Devil and demons are fairytales. I regret it but if someone likes to believe that ,.. so be it. Live and let live.

@Shirley since the majority of the Jehovahs Witnesses around the world is not affected, and therefor our 'blood' relatives are unharmed, by this typhoon its only logic that we help our spiritual familymembers overthere in the Philipines.

@ShirleyW you would also look after your own family, mom,...dad... grandma,..brothers and sisters first like anybody else.
