Praise Jehovah For His Great Deeds! May 15 2001 WT
Page 12
Thousands Thronging to True Worship (sub-heading)
Jehovah is now performing great and praiseworthy deeds in connection with our preaching activity…………………….(parag..12)(parag 18)
…..Consult the current Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses, and note the lands now reporting from 100,000 to nearly 1,000,000 Kingdom publishers. This is powerful proof that the Kingdom-preaching work is being blessed by Jehovah.End of quote…………………
OK then lets have a look at those countries………………..
Country Av. Pubs % Bpzd00 Bpzd99
Argentina 118,659 +1% 4791 5895
Brazil 506,888 +5% 30,918 43,098

US 945,000 0 30,290 32,585
Zambia 103,569 +7% 10,455 11,046I wouldn't call it proof of God's blessing……unless you are talking about a puny, ineffectual impotentate. Last year Japan's congregations went from to 3732 to 3538…..approx a loss of 4 per week!…….with blessings like that I wouldn't like the maledictions!

Nice collection of quotes Focus......Guilty here also.........2 kids!
But don't forget Focus some kids are necessary for ritual sacrifice to the WTS God............so that true JW parents can show their devotion.

We have heard that recently from two individuals. One is a DF'd sister,who works in a city centre dept. store and another is a sister who has simply left the hall and moved to another address. She is happy not to attend and doesn't want anyone to know where she is. BTW both of them have left for romantic reasons and I don't blame them! I thought they might gain some comfort from our view that the WTS is full of garbage……but I was in for a surprise! In fact there was an element of shock that we no longer believed! The reaction toward us was every bit as negative as it would be if we were talking to some regular dubs! Hmmmmmmm
My wife and I couldn't quite work it out but I suppose it shouldn't surprise us really. Some that leave do not necessarily leave because they have issues over doctrine etc. They just leave and still believe, it appears, the full hit of WTS stuff. They both had a degree of disapproval with our course. The one that was DF'd mentioned the Evil Slave Class! Anyone else come across stuff like this? We are generally discrete as to our disbelief, but we were quite upfront with these and subsequently felt we said too much!

Asking questions.freely. !
by MacHislopp indo you agree with this ?.
jehovah's witnesses who have questions or doubts cannot approach the elders for answers to their inquiries because they run the risk of being disfellowshipped.
they cannot speak to friends or family for that would be evidence of their "promoting a sect.

Hey Waiting............the idea is not to get DF'd or DA'd for many in the org. If you want to go out with a bang.........go ahead with both barrels and you'll get DF'd.........cool I suppose.
However, many have leaving issues........and a much more softly-softly approach is required, particularly if you get a visit! Funny thing is I have no wish to put any questions to any elders. Do you? What's the point? They do not have the answers. We all know that.

I am not detracting from the thrust of the topic here, but for any of those within the Org., you can ask questions, even about
the most sensitive subjects. The thing is you can ask..........but you have got to appear genuine and sincere. You have to be ready to nod your head at the appropriate places! But I have to say that if you are not prepared to back off
so as to appear compliant.........you will get marginalised. The thing to do is to give the impression that you have your questions but you have not formed any firm view!ISP
