Why do only 14% of JWs live in the USA...when it's an American based Church group...Why...Why...Why? Soon this 14% will become 13%...then...12%...then 11% & so on!

Why do upwards of 75% JWs currently live outside of the USA in the most poorest countries? Soon this number will become 80% then...well you get the picture!

McDonald's Hamburgers Inc has a very strong presence in wealthy countries...with very little presence in the poorest countries. They say at least 85% of Americans eat McDonald's product at least once a year. McDonald's is here to stay!

How much longer will the WTBTS aka Jehovah’s Witnesses be around? It simply is not sustainable with a 14% and dropping USA presence trend...Yay!...Praise The Lord!...Happy days ahead! :-) :-) :-)

Three children families stop step decline in Mormon membership

by joe134cd in

i just posted this on a seperate thread, but i think it deserves its own thread.

this is with regard to the pew survey that states “2 out of three 3 born into the jehovah’s witness faith.

will not remain in the faith as adults.”.

What has saved and helped the JWs maintain a 1.2 million (meager 14%) presence in the U.S. was the introduction of the cartoon characters Caleb & Sophia some 8 years ago! WT has been pushing very hard 'child baptism' for the past 8 to 10 years in case y'all didn't know/notice!

If it wasn't for this campaign of 'child baptism' for nearly a decade now...JW membership numbers would be tanking at a much faster pace!

Thank God for the children and thank God for Caleb & Sophia...we couldn't of done it without you! :-) :-) :-)

The Mormon Church is also a U.S. based cult...6.7 million (40%) of its membership are in the U.S.

The JWs on the other hand...while also being a U.S. based cult has 1.2 million (14%) of its membership in the U.S.

How much you wanna bet WT wishes it had a similar percentage support/representation of its adherents in the wealthier U.S. similar to it's bigger sister LDS...14% vs 40%!

Since we're on the subject of Jehovah’s Witnesses & their membership...I found these figures rather revealing:

The Jehovah’s Witnesses organization has a rather weak membership in the United States considering they're based in the U.S....of their total number of 8,424,100 worldwide a meager 1,210,950 (14%) are in the U.S. However in South America, where poverty is widespread, including Mexico there are 2,610,564 (31%) Jehovah’s Witnesses. The African Continent, considered the poorest Continent on earth, has 1,641,764 (20%) Jehovah’s Witnesses. In breaking down the percentages of Jehovah’s Witnesses...I'm finding that a very high number of JWs live in the poorest countries.

My question is: How much longer can the JWs in the U.S. (14%) carry the financial burdens of the the rest of JWs (75% to 80%) who live in the poorest countries of the world?

What kind of job would you like to have?

it doesn’t have to be about big money.

JW GoneBad

The best job is one where you're your own boss. The amount of money you make is up to you. You get to pick who your customers are...what hours you work. You are your own review board.

This is my favorite quote! What’s your favorite?

no one can steal your thunder when you are the fucking storm!

JW GoneBad

A favorite quote of mine from The Godfather: Rival family mob-head Sollozzo is in a meeting negotiating a business matter with Vito Corleone. Sonny (Don Corleone's son) interrupts his father and says something rather revealing. After the meeting Don Corleone pulls his clumsy son aside and counsels him saying:

'Whatza matta with you...Never tell someone outside the family what you're thinking!'

Pilot program for in-person meetings for the vaccinated

by Vidqun in

pilot program for in-person meetings to resume, to be launched in hong kong in nov. 2021. only fully vaccinated publishers are to be invited.

it's going to be a fader's paradise.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/q9e9pg/and_so_it_begins/?%24deep_link=true&correlation_id=fb861c4a-8c7e-4bad-b1e3-4c86b3254daf&post_fullname=t3_q9e9pg&post_index=1&ref=email_digest&ref_campaign=email_digest&ref_source=email&utm_content=post_title&%243p=e_as&_branch_match_id=936859150293933406&utm_medium=email%20amazon%20ses.

Something else that may disqualify a JW from being allowed to attend a Kingdom Hall meeting is if he/she got the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. WT is requiring at least 2 doses. I wonder how many JWs that affects!

This 'Kingdom Hall Meeting Pilot Program' has its own set of rules & restrictions:

1) No Bible study students allowed to attend

2) No interested outsiders allowed to attend

3) No unvacinated JW children allowed to attend

4) No unvacinated adult JWs allowed to attend

With these 'no nos' in place I suspect attendance, morale & the mood is going to be waaay low at these meetings!

What a joke!

Do Jehovah's Witnesses interpret the Bible properly?

by Vanderhoven7 in

do jehovah's witnesses interpret the bible properly?.

jehovah's witnesses see the bible as an organizational book which only the faithful and discreet slave (currently 8 men headquartered in warwick new york) can interpret properly.

the faithful slave was first appointed in brooklyn in 1919 and given the exclusive right and ability to understand and teach the bible properly.

JW GoneBad

Do JWs/WT interpret the Bible properly?

After over 50+ years of proudly proclaiming that Joel chapter 2 about the Locusts...saying that the Locusts paralleled the JWs in their preaching activity...at the 2019 AGM GB David Splane took a 180° about-face and stated that in fact the Locusts in Joel 2 are depicted as an enemy of God’s people. It took over 50 years for these knuckleheads to get it right!

This is just one recent example of way, way too many WT wrong Bible interpretations!

The "Regular Pioneer" title has now become a total joke

by pistolpete in

we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.

apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.

because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.

JW GoneBad

The question is...how productive are JW Pioneers who put in all these many hours in the ministry at recruiting new converts? The answer is...Zero...0...nada...zilch!

I'm affiliated with a circuit that boasts some 400 to 500 Regular and Auxiliary Pioneers. For the past 5+ years the only ones getting baptized are born-in tiny bopper 'yang wans'!
