  i have the goal of digitizing all wt statistical data, as much as possible, as far back as possible.user 88jm.

  i recently did 1980 and i had a friend help me with 1979 and 1978.. do we have any volunteers to help me with previous years??.

  it's a lot of work, but if you know excel you can make some macros that will speed up the work..

  Sounds like a good idea. I wish I knew how to do it.

  Alaska and Hawaii in or out US, South Sudan, Rhodesia, Zambia, mixing changing names all over the place. Complicated stuff. Good luck.

  What are you going to do with all the data?

  They also included "governing body" in a heading in Acts. (If I remember correctly)

  Is it OK for JW employees to sell lottery tickets?

  by Iamallcool in

  i do remember reading an article that it is not ok for jw to sell cigarettes at gas stations, etc... i was wondering what about lottery tickets?

  they do sell lottery tickets at few restaurants around my home.

  if jw works there and rats me out to the elders, i would not give a damn about it but i still prefer not to hear from the elders about it..

  JW as a secret society - a weak link in the Information Age.

  by slimboyfat in

  2. beliefs

  in the late 1990s there was magazine article that asked the question, are jws a secret society?

  obviously they said no, because they claim to be transparent to outsiders and new members.

  but they really are not transparent at all.

  That's true, biographical information about JW leaders is very selective. You'd think marriages and children would be included as a basic minimum not airbrushed.

  Are there any doctrines which all Christian religions follow.

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i cannot think of a single doctrine that is so clearly laid out in the bible that every christian sect teaches the same point.

  are there any doctrine where there is total consensus amongst all christian religions, including jehovah's witnesses?.

  Christadelphians accepted as Christians?

  Even ecumenical movements tend to insist on adherence to the Nicene Creed as a minimum for inclusion which excludes JWs, Mormons, Christadelphians, but includes Seventh Day Adventists.
