A Question about the publisher numbers released by Watchtower.

by skin in

at the end of each service year the watchtower release the service report.

when it says "peak pubs" and "average pubs", does this number include unbaptized publishers or is it only baptized publishers?.

has anybody ever actually counted?

by stillin in

i'm referring to the actual number of "anointed christians.

" the total limit is 144,000, no more, no less.

then it's a sealed deal and armageddon can proceed.

God_Delusion

Revelation 7:3-8 states that the 144,000 will be drawn from every TRIBE OF ISRAEL.

Now, let me see if I've got this right; the number, 144,000 isn't symbolic, but the "sealed from every tribe of Israel" part, is symbolic??

Now, slap me on my botty and call me Judith, but does that make sense to anyone here?

Oh and the bible is a Goosfraba.

During pregnancy, is the mothers blood in any way passed onto the baby?

by God_Delusion in

i ask this because if it is, then why even bother saying that people should abstain from blood?.

if you could answer this for me, using sources, it would be a great help.. .

Where have they all gone?

when i first joined this forum, i was still an active-on-the-way-out jehovah's witness.

back in late 2008, there were quite a few actives on here.

i used to have some great fun with reinaa (remember her?

When I first joined this forum, I was still an active-on-the-way-out Jehovah's Witness. Back in late 2008, there were quite a few actives on here. I used to have some great fun with Reinaa (remember her?) and others.

It seems as though they've departed the Jehovahs-Witness.net shores.

Please come back, as I want some action when I come onto this forum!

The good news is that they are still out there, but they're not really posting. On my blog, www.JehovahsWitnessBlog.com, I get emails from all sorts of active JW's. Some are really rude, whilst others, don't really care and find the blog amusing.

Is there a way of getting them to come back here though?

Did you carry any No Blood paraphernalia around?

by cult classic in

friends

i never really carried anything on me.

it was always fun getting the card signed and all (a welcome change of pace at the service meeting).

but i always thought it looked too weird to have that in my wallet.

God_Delusion

I carried it around with me when I was younger, but towards the end of my association with the Jehovah's Witness cult, I didn't even have one.

As Teel said above, it's funny to remind ourselves what a cult can actually do.

We carried around a card that basically said;

"I am prepared to die for the good of this cult. I know that by me dying in this way, the Watchtower, Bible & Tract Society will have some great marketing material to play with. I know that my story could possibly make the next Blood Article Watchtower and be a real strength to those that are weak".

Yep, that's the decision we were making guy's.

Oh dear, we actually fell for it.

"All athiests/agnostics will regret their path and beg God to take them in before their death..."

by sabastious in

that's what my older jw brother of 34 said a few months back.

he actually 100% believes that an athiest cannot have a happy life.. -sab.

God_Delusion

Let's face the facts here. People believe in the bible, because the bible told them so.

That, for me, isn't leading a happy life.

Since I've left the disgusting cult, my life has taken turns for the best and I am so happy.

Which do we choose and Why?

by Terry in

religion does as it is told.

science questions, tests, proves and moves forward.. .

religion gives its answers without listening to your questions.. .

God_Delusion

"do you appreciate the difference between faith"

Do you even know what faith is? If so, please explain it to me so that I too can understand that this concept isn't based on no evidence, no facts and isn't at all or in any way blind.

i wasn't brought up in the organisation.

I've sent you a PM.
