I have found the truth about the truth now...
by truthseeker12 ini am a third generation of jehovah witnesses, even if i never got baptized.
however, they disfellowship me when i was around 15. this was around 1987. even if i have not been in the "truth" for so many years it has affected all my life in many ways not only negative.
a couple of years ago i thought the events in the world maybe proved to me that they were right after all.

Do we have stats on a 'mass exodus'?
by Aussie Oz ini see at times, talk of how many are leaving the jws, how the young ones are leaving in droves, that more and more are 'waking up' etc.. can we substanciate this?.
i mean, actual stats to show this, not just small or negitive growth in lands such as the united states, as there are larger growths in other countries.. there are of course the downsizings of bethels etc, but downsizing is not always a sign of members leaving is it?
sales may be down resulting in streamlining organization as with any corporation.. numbers d/f each year getting larger?

If Jehovah Disapproved Of Polygamy & Concubines Why Did He Bless Those Involved?
by minimus inabraham, solomon and others got god's seal of approval.
if they were truly sinning, you would think it would've been clearly expressed in the 10 commandments and the law.
instead, god blessed those involved in adultery and fornication..

Help! Hold Me Back From Voicing My Opinions And Getting Shunned!
by nextdoorgirl ini am new to this board after lurking for awhile (thanks so much for creating this place simon, and for everyone's shared thoughts!).
i am going crazy because i have recently allowed myself to begin thinking (and it is so fun!
) and i am an outspoken person, and it is very hard for me to keep my opinions and discoveries about this place under my hat!

What Are Your Favorite WT Quotes/Teachings? Most Ridiculous or Hilarious Ones.
by mentallyfree31 inwhen you look back over the 130 year history of wt, what is the most bizzare/ridiculous/hilarious/absurd teaching or quotes that you have found?.
one of the ones i find hilarious is during the beth-sarim affair, rutherford announced that the world was laughing and mocking them because they don't believe the resurrection is going to come to pass when they said it was.
rutherford went on to say in effect "we will show them when people start coming back from the graves"... lol.

Zone Visits in Europe May and June, start of the CO/DO changes
by JWFreak infollowing on with the austrian zone visit post.
just some info that the visits are to a number of european branches.. they are also at the french bethel around the 15th of may before heading on to other branches including the austrian and german branches.. it seems that it is the overseer of the personnel committee who is loesch i believe and also a heavyweight "helper" of the publishing committee.. the branches are expecting quite a few changes, it does seem strange to my source in france that all the travelling overseers have been left in place for a 4th year this september, which is unheard of in europe.
the then yet unknown changes will take place in sep 2011.. waiting here to see what these announcements are.. .
