The annointed remnant figure rising - a question
by jambon1 inhaving been out of the loop for a while on here, it dawned on me that the figure of memorial partakers has risen substantially from when i was a jw.. i think i bowed out at around 8500 in 2006.. can anyone briefly explain what the main reasons for this increase are and if it is ever discussed among jw's because if i remember correctly, the figure should be going down, not up.. thanks.. j.

Memorial, why isn't there the post memorial excitement like there is with an assembly
by insearchoftruth ini know that the assembly is supposed to get the folks all excited about how close we are to the 'end of this system of things' but when my wife attends a memorial, she says nothing at all after it, even though this is supposed to be the most important night of the year for them..

You always expected some special feeling in those first few years. Nothing happened.
After a while, the procedure is very, very dull and repetative.

Why do the Witnesses keep mentioning how many people were at the Memorial at their hall?

I agree with OTWO.
Very few of the extras at the memorial were new to the organisation. In our small hall we always got about 60 more. Around 5 were completely new faces.

Emblem stupidity, and the bizarre dance of the confused memorial-taker
by cedars inwell, i went along to the memorial with mrs cedars.
it was my first since my "awakening" just less than a year ago.
apparently i made a lot of people happy by being there (even if it was only building up false hopes), the most important of which were my family.

I our old hall they would keep 4 seats at the front clear for the memorial-takers and after the rest of the hall had observed, they would sit there and the brother giving the talk would hand them the plate/wine for it to move along the four of them.
Very silly.

Jehovahs Witnesses Plan on Looting the Dead
by God_Delusion inhi guys and gals,.
i've written a new article on what some jehovah's witnesses plan on doing after armageddon strikes.
i am sure you've been around witnesses that have said something like "oh i'm moving into that house after armageddon.".

The entire notion of armaggeddon is simply vile. Sick thoughts for sick minds.
I have heard those comments before. I can only suggest that the comments are made by sub human arseholes who have very little inteligence, emotion or love in their heart.

Animal sin?
by jambon1 inthe doctrine of sin = death.. .
if it is the case that the reason people die is due to the original sin of the man adam (romans 5:12) then why do animals also get sick and die of the same illnesses as humans?
did an animal transgress in a similar manner?.

Discrediting an individual so as to avoid giving due thought and attention to the argument
by jambon1 init seems that this has been a tactic that the jw's have used for many years.. i haven't contributed to this board in a wee while but upon my return a month or so ago, i was astounded to read about the article where the society described opposers as 'mentally diseased'.. it's a very basic strategy and one that works.. i myself experienced this with my wife during my more vocal periods of opposition to the society.
for a good while i had a problem with drink.
not a violent problem or anything, just that i drank more.

It's a very basic strategy and one that works.
I myself experienced this with my wife during my more vocal periods of opposition to the society. For a good while I had a problem with drink. Not a violent problem or anything, just that I drank more. Often if I had been drinking I would raise points about the society which I disagreed with. I'm not talking about a slurring messy rant. Just discussing things in a very frank manner.
Despite my arguments being sound, they were put down to the ramblings of a drunk from my wifes point of view. I cannot begin to tell you how frustrating this was. Especially if any points were related to the mental welfare of our kids. It was as if my being more lucid gave my wife an opportunity to dismiss firsthand any objections that I made. Very convenient really. It saved her giving any of my points of view serious consideration.
In my opinion, the society does this all the time. Painting opposers to the religion in an extreemly negative light helps the rank and file JW completely reject any well reasoned or solid argumentation.
Calling people who oppose the religions teaching 'mentally diseased' is staggering really. It makes them sink to a new low. But it works.
Unfortunately, decent people who simply 'don't agree' with their religon are absolutely demonised.
Don't let it stop you speaking out. Even better, do it in a way that makes you irreprehensible.
