Hans Rosling is an excellent speaker. I'm always envious of people who have this skill as I suck at presenting.
When I was in school, I was pretty good at math. I applied my skills to what the Jehovah's Witnesses were claiming... that they were preaching to all the inhabited Earth.
Now as a kid, we all have a pretty good BS Meter. This claim was setting mine off big time.
It is mathematically impossible for 7 million JWs to preach to over 7 billion people in the world. The math just doesn't add up. Coupled with the fact that JWs aren't in all countries and that some countries have been avoided by the Watchtower shows this isn't happening either.
Indigenous tribes of people continue to be discovered that were previously unknown. For generations these people have been born, lived their lives, and died without ever hearing 'the good news of God's Kingdom' from a JW. They've never heard of Jesus either.
To me, this just illustrates the ridiculous claims from religion.
Hans' stats do the same. Religions fear monger... they try to tell us things are bad so you better sign up with God/Jesus to be saved. And give us your money.
No. Sign up to do something constructive and positive for the world (like Taslima in the video).

HOW EXACTLY does god communicate with or direct the GB?
by stuckinarut2 inwe're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".
in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".
so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?

There is no 'how for God'. The old farts in
Brooklyn... Walkill ... wherever ... just bend over and pull something out of their butts.Some 30 odd years ago, I asked both my parents at the same time "Is God directing the Watchtower?"
To me, this is THE question to answer. The reason: it doesn't matter whether the answer is Yes or No, it shows this group is f'ed up and shouldn't be taken seriously at all.
So, at exactly the same time, my Dad answers "No." and my Mom answers "Yes."
You should have seen the "Holy Shiite!" look pass between them. It was priceless. :0)

No such thing as history
by woodforde inwhy do you think it is that wts limit accessibility to watchtowers and awakes to only issues since year 2000 on jworg?
a whiff of something slightly orwellian?
not a case of re-writing history but nixing it altogether?

I have over 40 years worth of JW printed material from my parents. I plan to sell it and at least re-coup some money for my Dad in his declining years. He's gonna need it. -

"Religion gives us the Why"
by Phizzy ini have heard this nonsense said by many believers, especially when science conflicts with their belief, they say:.
" well, science may tell us how we got here, religion tells us why we are here".
does religion tell us that ?

If I'm not mistaken, the JW answer to the 'why' is to serve Jehoopla.
Uh, no thanks. I have other plans. :0)

Stephen Fry says everything I believe in two minutes
by cofty in"it is perfectly apparent that god is monstrous, utterly monstrous, and deserves no respect whatsoever.
the moment you banish him, your life become purer, simpler, cleaner; more worth living in my opinion.".

Agreed. I have often wondered why my parents couldn't see this.
Edited to add: Theodicy is one of my biggest issues with religion and their claims.

Jehovah Witness promotion of JW.org as the place to get answers to all of lifes important question is the height of arrogance
by Brokeback Watchtower inwe are hearing reports of this promotion of the website by the jw and it seems to be a resource for them to dodge questions of their faith, when they don't have or want to give an answer to a question they direct the house holder to the organization/corporation's website to get the answer as if it really existed.there.. i think soon they are going to drop the door to door work all together as completely unprofitable, i mean their donation arrangement is a complete flop and has cost them i'm sure so they are in the process of shipping as many as they can into building up real estate for the corporation, because that is where the money is right now.. the whole jw.org is just a complete failure as a source of good information and only scare away people except the most vulnerable/gullible.. .
