i have the feb magazine with the new report in it.
if anyone is interested to know any of the figures then let me know and i will post it over the next half hour or so....
Canada: 0% growth (actually down from 108 409 to 108 012)
The number of publishers is lower in Canada now than what it was 10 years ago....10 years!!
The partakers are really not that many especially seeing that Ireland has over 4000 that partake...they tell them its Guinness.
reading a topic in here, i came across a conversation regarding jehovah approved(tm) sports.
i noticed that two of the posters were insensed at the amount of ex-jws in this forum.. they started ignoring everyone else that had put their opinion in on the subject....and decided that everyone in this forum was a jw "hater".
i myself take offence to that, for i don't hate the jw's.
Nope..don't hate them in fact I really miss quite a few of them...
Except bro Gumby *shotgun walks away snubbing Gumby's ass...whatever that means*
i think that pretty much says it all.we can all whine and groan about how the society has wronged us and how they are so self preserving and wrong , evil, false, controling decieving, self righteous,and whatever.those who speak of giving up or god is dead or now i smoke pot and god loves me or now i commit fornication and its okay or those that get drunk and say thats okay.man some of you sound like the apostate definition according to the society.the evil slave.in order not to allign yourself with satan your job i think is simple.stop doing wrong.
quit trying to have sex outside of marriage,smoking pot,lieing cheating and stealing.i dont care who you are you dont want to die.
ive tried it twice and am glad im still here.im no wuss either former power lifter very veril and have 4 children.some of you kill me with your live for today mentality.i have a hard time believing that you chose to leave rather than being disfellowshipped and just feel bitter.
Move along here nothing to see...move along people.

Leaving or finding out the troof is not the truth is a real shock to the system especially when you have carried guilt for many years. Doing our best to be compassionate human beings is all that any loving God would require.
if you could sit down and have dinner with 3 people who would it be and why?
(dead or alive) i think this really makes you think in what your answer maybe.
its kind of hard.. mine are:.
Hmmm
Jesus...I'd make sure we had no wine in the house, only jars of water..thenI'd ask him if he wanted a little wine with dinner
My grandfather..he's dead and I miss him
J.F Rutherford...so I could poison the bastard
does anyone know what the deal is with rapper sean carter, aka jay-z and his refering to himself as jay-hovah?
its a pretty close call naming yourself such by jw standards possibly bordering on blasphemy.
does anyone know if he may've been associated with jw's at some time, and if he was, whether his choosing of the name might be a response to his no longer believing the teachings of jws?
I read somewhere he was raised one for a time until his mom got df'd. Should be able to google search some stuff on it.
yup.
that is the big question here in halifax, nova scotia.
cbc radio want to know what is bigger a bruhaha or a kerfuffle?.
I think in JW speak
1914 = Bruhaha
1975 = Kerfuffle
englishman had his op today and all is going according to plan.
he's feeling woozy and sore tonight, but hopefully that will pass in a day or so.
chris says he will probably have to stay in for about a week, but no doubt he will be posting if he can get hold of a laptop.
He's feeling woozy and sore tonight
So everything is pretty much back to normal then...
Get well soon Mike, I hope everything comes out alright
.
call me crazy but from reading the bible ,assuming one believs it its pretty plain at least the earth will stand to times indefinate.please if you have an opinion please give the support to it.. thanks in advance.. i dont know nuttin.
What Nark said!
In Shotgun English...I have scoured the bible and like almost all other promises from the WTBTS the hope is not based on scriptural evidence or teachings let alone taught by Jesus or his Apostles.
.
honesty.from what i have read he did shed a light for a brief time.what we need is a true prophet to teach us.until that time comes i can only hope in those things not beheld.anyone reading ray franz will agree with me.if we give up as individuals what is that saying to satan.. i say we dont give up.jesus says to be always striving for truth and righteousness.hey people we are better than that.you all know who you are,lets not foresake our hope in the lord.no matter what even if we know that he is not coming in our lifetime should we not be as a fine servant rather than a ridicueling one?it is your call,but for some of us we are starting to feel our own mortality,ie.. getting older.at the very least why dont we trust in something.. iwe all know the gb is wrong or we wouldnt be here.sorry for preaching its just something i believe.opinions welcome
I shared your zeal for truth after reading Ray's book on Christian Freedom...that lasted a couple weeks until I started examining the scriptures with the same critical eye I used on the WT...
Russell had zeal for every passing whim.
act ii: dachskampf (badger?s struggle)
?in all of history, no group has done more damage than those who thought they were doing the right thing.?
