I agree, this would be nice. Would be nice to also maybe see a year by year number of members. I imagine there is more growth here then at the society.

New member count displayed on front screen would be so cool.
by goingthruthemotions inwhen i look at the front page of this site i wish there was a count for new members that joined.
that day, the month or even quartly.. the jdubs always brag about new members and how many are getting baptized.
but, yet they are still under 8 million with probably about half actually attending meetings.

So far it seems to take a little longer, after doing a response the 3 steps then rerouted back, it felt almost instantly on the old system.
And will take a little getting used to. Active topics are reversed now,used to be working your way from the last page back, now the updated are the first page fwd.

Why must we APPLY for everything?
by Tech49 ini was thinking about this today, after seeing another thread on the subject of serving in israel, of all places.
there have been many comments on the recent thread, and the ones a little older, about how utterly ridiculous that premise is.. the bigger question is why do i have to apply?
permission?

THE REAL REASON! - even though the WT doesn't sponsor or pay a penny, if you look at some of the documentation for countries they must report as being a charity, they will spin the 'reports' as evidence they are doing charity work. Without their precious reports, they'd have NOTHING to spin doctor, then they would lose some of their precious idol money to taxes.

The two above me forgot to notice the invisible asterik in the form of the word, 'especially'. That means skip physical needs and just spiritial, which means society and everybody else does literature only, all donations and money for literature stuff only, etc. The bible doesn't say that, but since the GB is above the bible and God, etc, that is what is to be done.

The official requirement for salvation in the latest WT, nothing to do with Jesus......
by EndofMysteries in"those with the earthly hope who supported christs brothers in the preaching work will have been judged as sheep and will be granted the privilege of living in the earthly realm of the kingdom.
" 3/2015 study wt learn from illustration of talents par 13.. so there you have it, to get salvation you need to only obey the gb and if you obey and worship the gb, then you will be judged as a sheep.
truly those who listen and obey, will be blessed!.

In the bottom of that article they state this..... " The growing number of prospective sheep count it a privilege to support Christ’s brothers the governing body not only in the preaching work but also in other practical ways. For example, they give financial contributions and help to build Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls, and branch facilities, and they loyally obey those appointed by “the faithful and discreet slave” to take the lead."

The 3/2015 WT has a lot of crazy stuff, best one in awhile!
I like the parts about how Jah has had to make the GB more discreet (in other words they have NOT been discreet), and then later on talking about how the groomsmen some were discreet and some were foolish but those apply to the followers of the GB. Anybody with some thinking capacity can put 2+2 together and see the GB are the foolish ones / evil slave by their own interpretations.

"One of the master’s three slaves hid his talent, so was Jesus here indicating that one third of his anointed followers would prove to be wicked and sluggish? No. Consider the context. In the illustration of the faithful and discreet slave, Jesus spoke of an evil slave who beat his fellow slaves. Jesus was not there foretelling that an evil slave class would arise. Rather, he was warning the faithful slave not to display the traits of an evil slave. "
Let me translate that crap for you guys. So, the faithful slave is PROPHETIC of a small group who will dispense spirtual food. But the evil slave part you can just ignore, it's not prophetic or anything at all. It's just a hypothetical what if and a warning but there is nothing to see there, move along.
