Fun with numbers (or the Watchtower running out of steam) Statistics
by Aussie Oz inhaving a look through the march wt pdf and noticed the graph showing the growth of jws and did a little basic math.
now math was not my strongest subject at school so i can stand some correcting on this if need be... but anyway, a little fun with numbers:.
1970; 1'483'000 is a growth of about 390% (av 19.5% per year).

...this year began allowing parents to count time studying with their children. Do you mean all those years ago, I wasn't following "the rules?" There were months - maybe years - when the only time I had was the 'study' time with my kids! If so, mea culpa. DITTO....... Can anyone verify? New service arrangements for World Wide Work: In modern world countries the focus of our ministry will shift to keep ourselves and our children firm in the faith. This is because of all the the attacks from Satan through the media and the internet. Service time will progessively be spent more on preserving our brotherhood in these countries and less on preaching to new ones. These countries have recieved a thorough witness and our preaching obligation has been fulfilled there. Third world countries status quo.

Everyone agrees (even watchtower) that no one knows the date of Jesus' birth.
When our wedding anniversary falls on an inconvenient date, we celebrate it the next convenient date.
Fact is we don't knwo why it was chosen, though we can specualte, but we do know WHy it is celebrated now, it is the day we celebrate the birth of
our saviour, Jesus Christ, as a human. We don't celebrate the DATE, we celebrate the event, an anniversary if you prefer.
totally agree
Watchtower however has to poop on the date everyone arbitrarily chose as Jesus' birth.

Why Not a December Birth?
Jesus was born in the Judean city of Bethlehem. Luke’s Gospel reports: “There were also in that same country shepherds living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks.” ( Luke 2:4-8 ) This was not unusual. “The flocks had to spend the greater part of the year in the open air,” says the book Daily Life in the Time of Jesus. But would the shepherds be outside with their flocks on a cold December night? The book says: “They passed the winter under cover; and from this alone it may be seen that the traditional date for Christmas, in the winter, is unlikely to be right, since the Gospel says that the shepherds were in the fields.”
Would shepherds spend the night outdoors with their flocks in the snow?
This conclusion is corroborated by another detail in Luke’s Gospel account: “In those days a decree went forth from Caesar Augustus for all the inhabited earth to be registered; (this first registration took place when Quirinius was governor of Syria;) and all people went traveling to be registered, each one to his own city.”— Luke 2:1-3 .

This article from the Official JW website really irritates me. http://www.watchtower.org/e/20090401/article_01.htm
Some quotes:
"Are you among those who believe that being born again puts you on the road to salvation?
If so, you no doubt want to help your relatives and friends to find that road and to start walking on it. wtf
The phrase is rendered in the form of a statement. In other words, when Jesus said you must be “born again,” he was stating a fact, not giving a command. wtf
SINCE the days of the apostles, God has been choosing from among mankind a limited number of faithful Christians, adopting them as sons.
Article sucks, I can not stand their idoitic logic.

Tim Kilgore vs. E-Watchman GETS BLOODY!!!
by Tuesday inhey folks, again the videos aren't as exciting as the title makes them seem.
i'm trying to be pun-ny since we're dealing with the blood doctrine here.. i think here is a fantastic example of how you can respond to the textbook answer about how fractions of blood are accepted, even to the point of reconstituted blood and not the whole blood itself.
it does involve a slight knowledge of what makes up blood, but not a whole lot.

Like the Pharisees did, the Watchtower is doing .
Do whatever it takes to, C.Y.A. It always comes down to $$$ and power.

Something I never thought of when I was in
by doublelife inwitnesses use the term 'publisher' instead of 'preacher' to describe their position in the congregation.
that should be a dead give away that they are salespeople working for a book publishing company verses preachers who are working for god.
i can't believe i never saw something this obvious.
