  Unfortunately I think countries are just going to have to get their economies restarted, which is also needed to build up taxes which many governments have been pouring out money to the disadvantaged .

  Its kind of catch 22, dammed if you do and dammed if you dont.

  Carefully and methodologically is way to do this with travel restrictions being the last on the list of things to be lifted.

  How Is The Governing Body Viewed Today By Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are they revered like the pope is to catholics??

  back in the 1960s , fred franz and n.h knorr were the only men that counted.

  after franz died, the governing body became more of an idolized entity.

  Is the GB still viewed as almost infallible or have today’s Witnesses seen through the charade??

  Most see them as almost infallible, that's why they are faithfully loyal to them as they are .

  They see them live on video now so that builds up more glorifying praise than ever before.
  

  Call it a case of delusional idiots following corrupt delusional idiots.

  LDS statistics, by extension, may suggest that the JWs could be bigger with a more engaged membership.

  i was just watching this on you tube, about the growth of the lds church.

  i think these numbers may support a number of theories that have been discussed on here.

  (1) the jws are bigger as a religious organisation.. (2) jw membership is more engaged, as well as, more ethnically diverse.. (3) wt is been honest with its counting.

  So you think JWS are attending more meeting services than Mormons therefore the JWS are equal in numbers to listed Mormons .

  I got a news flash for you Joe .. many JWS do not attend all the meetings every month.

  Sounds like you need to get a life or at least get way from religion all together for the sake of your sanity.

  It would a good assuming guess that since the GB men cant go out in service, they are spending more time swimming, boating and playing tennis at their Warwick Head Quarters.

  The fact is most religions have been going through a decline in the last 40, 50 years or going through a state of slow growth in active participants.

  To whom are the JWS faithfully loyal to Jehovah or the Watchtower Corporation and the men who run it ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  an poignant question which might make a few jws a bit uncomfortable.. the words of jesus said that no one knows of the time of his return not the ancient israelites or the first era christians and jesus admonished those who would set a time upon god's own sacred time.. words spoken by jesus that certain men failed to adhere to who self proclaimed preachers of the gospel.. the executive leaders of the watchtower corporation (gb) have said that they were the faith slave to jesus fulfilling his instructions to spread the word of the new system of things.

  .

  yet over the past 140 years the wts and the men who have been running that organization have been endeavoring false prophets, selling a tainted corrupt version of the gospel through the literature these men published.

  False prophets, liars, deceivers, charlatans, corrupt businessmen, conman are all descriptive adjectives which could be used in a sentence in describing the men who were the top executive leaders of the WTS/JWS organization.

  The result of people making a personal loyal vow to these men during baptism has resulted in thousands dying, millions of families being broken apart, numerous suicides, repressed education toward growing young adults....the list goes on.
  

  The human cost of making a vow of loyalty to these men is notably dire for many but that shouldn't be too surprising based upon the fact they really were just lying corrupt religious charlatans operating their own religious publishing house.

  bullshit

  In 2012, the National Council of Churches ranked the church as the fourth-largest Christian denomination in the United States,[8] with over 6.5 million members there as of January 2018.[9]
