  Decrease of numbers in Jehovah's Witnesses via Deaths, DFings, or Turning Inactive

  by flipper in

  so i'm sure a good number of us saw the chart that i believe the poster splash put on another thread of figures since 1990 regarding how many baptized and % of increase each year .

  i started analyzing it ( and i know some referred to it briefly on the other thread ) and guessing of reasons the % of increase didn't match the number of newly baptized.

  and of course common sense tells us that either jw's leave the cult each year through death, fading into inactivity, or getting dfed.

  DN CALL- Interesting call, I'm glad you understood Coded Logic - I'm a little dense sometimes maybe Coded will come back and explain it again.

  VIDIOT- Indeed I think a lot of " conscious classers " are waking up and smelling the coffee.

  PHIZZY- I hear you. I stopped donating even many years before I exited the JW cult back in 2003. As the years went on I just could not understand WHY the GB would allow articles written in the WT requesting JW's to donate inheritances, life insurance policies, jewelry, to the WT Society just to further " kingdom interests ". Seemed so low of them to do that when Russell himself had stated they would never " beg " for donations. Well- that's exactly what the modern day GB and WT leaders are doing now. Disgusting

  How Many JWs Really Believe Everything They Are Told?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that 80% of jws do not truly believe in what they are taught .

  the vast majority stay in because of family, friends, ignorance and a lack of caring about any of the facts regarding the "truth".

  many people are lazy.

  I feel that as some mentioned many of the old timers who have invested 30 + years or more in the Witnesses DO really believe everything they are told due to the long term mind control indoctrination of the WT Society. Anybody over 50 years old for the most part who is still in and born and raised in the JW cult still believe in it I think. I just got done talking with a 58 year old JW woman I knew from years ago - an elders wife- and she STILL thinks the WT Society is making cutbacks NOT because of financial hardships , but because the GB really cares about the " friends " and doesn't want to overburden the congregations financially. Many of these long time JW's don't have a clue that they are being duped. They still really believe the end is " close ".

  That being said- The younger JW's who aren't as indoctrinated don't believe it or buy into it. It depends how fanatic of a JW family they come from. After all is said and done I would think that at least 50 % or more still believe in the drivel that creeps down into their brains- but mainly the older long time JW's

  please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

  this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

  at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

  BeeEmBee states : " Though I would have thought if the GB spotted it they would be banging on about it , BUT THEY ARE BEING BOUND UP as we speak and they're quite distracted. "

  Oh dear. Is the GB having another horrid attack of constipation from sitting around at the conference table again ? Tisk, tisk- I warned them about that the old geezers

  I've been trying to warn Flipper to no avail.

  Our neighbor's rooster is a drone - the crowing is sending out brainwashing messages from Stephen Lett, who is actually Zenu. We are paying dearly for laughing at Scientology and the jws.

  There isn't enough aluminum foil left to cover our house with, so goodbye, cruel world....

  EJ - " The best way to sanction turkey is to restrict petrol importation...... "

  Not true. The best way to sanction turkey is to put it in my belly the last several days. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  I won my appeal also as the elders didn't have enough evidence against me for what they called " circumstantial fornication ". I also threatened a lawsuit for slander and defamation of character against the local elders if they DFed me without proof and announced it to the congregation. The appeal committee got a letter back from WT legal department telling them not to DF me. To cease and desist and overturn the DFing. They haven't messed with me since. WT Society doesn't want a tiger by the tail who fights back. So tell your friend to say he'll sue their ass if they DF him with no proof. They will probably back off. Good luck, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  10 Years out of the JW Organization- What I've Learned ( For what it's Worth)

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  10 years ago i stopped attending jehovah's witness meetings for good.

  walked out of the kingdom hall cold turkey never to return based on injustices i observed among others and myself at the hands of elders giving out not god's counsel but personal opinions as counsel .

  some of them weren't even giving out wt society counsel- just personal opinions.

  DING- Yeah good point. I never viewed carrying the microphones as a " privilege ". LOL. It was more of an inconvenience to me because you'd have to stand on your feet for an hour or so running up and down the aisle to let people comment. Very tiring at times- especially if you worked 8 hours a day at a real job .

  TORNINTWO- I'm really glad to hear that you and your daughter stopped attending meetings. And it's good that your JW husband is not hassling you over it. You are setting a great example for your daughter in having freedom of mind and helping her towards her college education. Keep the great work up.

  BLUES BROTHER- I agree with your views as well. I saw through the veneer and illusions of an imaginary " time of the end " as the WT Society struggled to try and stretch the " generation won't pass away " theory into " these overlapping generations won't pass away " theory. Then I knew it all was just BS designed to control 8 million JW's on this planet. This board has been a great support to me as you stated it has to you as well. Thanks for your comments
