  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.

  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

  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]

  The WTS has hundreds of millions tucked away in bank accounts collecting interest.

  JWs are fooled by the GB men who say they need more money, even children's candy money.

  These men are pretentious liars and deceivers, never doubt that.

  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.

  In the past the Presidents and GB members were not highlighted individuals even though they carried much power and weight to what went on at WTS HQ and the writing department.

  Now that they've come out and said they alone are the FDSL and are seen continuously on JWorg video broadcasts, they are even more adorned, glorified than any other time in the organization's history .

  The past or present GB members were not true bible interpreters, they were and are corrupt lying charlatans trying increase the WTS's own literature distribution for as its known the JWS organization has a religoius publishing house operating at its core.

  The reality is the JWS got started in false religion as commercialized false prophets preaching a tainted and unscriptural Gospel of Jesus and his new kingdom order.

  This carried on right through from the beginning of the 20th century to its end and still pretty much does so today. Unfortunately the JWS leaders (GB) are negligent in removing theses false doctrines, in fear that the membership would crumble underneath itself, they still teach and profess that the GT and Armageddon is just around the corner.

  These specific doctrines were an essential part of luring people to the organization and they know that.

  You cant be DFed or DA if you no longer want to participate in the religion ie. stop going all together.

  My advise just to make it easier on yourself just bow out quietly and respectfully.

  The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.

  2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.

  4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

  The envisioned gods from ancient civilizations had many variations of character some were powerful and vengeful some were loving, giving even motherly in character.

  They had one thing in common though is that they were constructs of imagination and ignorance expressed by humans who were enduring ignorant of the world in which they lived .

  Human ignorance is an indefensible fact.
