Any information on number of JW's who have left?

so i'm curious if there is any accurate information out there as far as the number of people who have left the jw's.

maybe annually or per decade or whatever.. you have those who are disfellowshipped, those who are disassociated, and then those who are never baptised who just kind of walk away.

i'm sure "the society" has these numbers, yet, i'm sure they don't come off of them.

Another Form of Torture

while watching a show on torture devices on the history channel tonight it occured to me that disfellowshipping is really a form of psychological torture.

interestingly it has been shown that torture does not guarantee accurate information.

confessions extracted by torture are routinely thrown out in our legal system because of this.

Infinite number of oranges and boxes does every box contain an orange?
by Qcmbr in

2. beliefs
following the fun of the recent evolution v designed designer discussion we knocked some ideas about infinity around in the office starting with the above question.. clearly the answer is no but is it?

does infinite then presuppose an infinite universe to contain the infinite oranges and boxes but then how can you have two infinite sets in the same space?

now this is possible if you contain each orange in a box (make the oranges a set within the box - literally!

hello in conversation today with brother-in- law who is still in the borg.he said while he may have questions about the whole god issue he doesn't know of any other religion that refuses to kill their fellow believer if politicians say you must.

that is a strong plus point for him on the virtues of the wt.

is he correct?

Just drove by my local KH

i just drove by my local kh at 10:30 wednesday oct 25 and noted 18 cars in the parking lot.

this contrasts from just last wednesday when there where 60 cars in the lot.

this shows that the turn out for service is down by 75% in a one week period.. i guess alot of dubs have placed their tracts.

okay, i just had a very nice witness lady at my door giving me my own personal copy of a very important message.

i had a whole "presentation" memorized to get her to think, but i couldn't do it.

she seemed really nice and kind of nervous and i instantly felt sorry for her and took the dang thing.

Active JWs, hows KN37 going?
by StillGroggy in

hey everybody, i had an interesting time pushing a tract that i don't believe in this weekend.

i had to develop my own method of placing it without having to talk about it, since i fear if i was confronted by someone asking "do you people think you're the only true religion", i might break down and tell the person at the door "no, i don't".

the witness at the door with me would scream in terror, and i would be insta-dfed.
