  Preaching is a waste of time

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  before anyone gives me the "bears/wood" similarities, this is a post based on insidethekh's reply on the mormon v jw thread.

  (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/287545/1/who-is-copying-who-jws-or-mormons) i like to see wt friendly posts on here as some of the wt bashing displays the same logical fallacies as levelled against the wts and it's followers so it's good to consider reasoned debate.. on the one hand i think itkh makes a fair point if you compare the worldwide success of mormons v jws but there is an overall context to the preaching work that is completely ignored by those fully "in" and has been a major factor in my move from being an active witness to one on the cusp of getting out.

  from a statistical point of view there are great headline numbers presented by the wts but if you put them in the context of the number of witnesses, conversation ratios, ratio of new witnesses to birth rates, numbers that must be leaving, growth differentials across the globe, penetration in muslim nations and so on then these numbers become meaningless.

  As it says in Ephesians, evangelists are only one gift that Christ gave the congregation. In the witness idealogy you must be an evangelist or cannot be fully excepted into the congregation. For example if you are considered inactive you cannot become a MS thus not a good marriage prospect. So the real question is not; Is preaching a waste of time? It should be; Are the Governing Body acting as Pharisees imposing rules about preaching that are not found in the bible?

  My Yoke is Kindly and My load is Light! What did this scripture mean to you as a JW?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jesus said that "my yoke is kindly and my load is light" what did this scripture mean to you when you were mentally in?

  did you feel the jw load was kindly and light?

  if not, what was the point in him uttering those words?
