  Jehovah's Witnesses May Have Peaked in Membership at 8 Million (+/-)

  i don't have all the details of their new "service year" numbers, but i have read enough on jwn to state my opinion pretty strongly.. memorial attendance for 2015 was down.while they kept saying they were going to build a bunch of new kingdom halls, and everybody is still in recovery from watchtower taking all the local money away, they say pretty much that there isn't enough money to build new kingdom halls.putting gb members on the videos at jw .

  org has allowed people to really put a face and personality to these guys and remove the mystery of how they should be such deeply spiritual serious men.

  instead they see silly thoughts about tight pants and, really everything that comes out of lett's mouth is delivered ultra-goofy, along with the money reports.. the gb lost credibility a little more with every new light that shone down, with the strangest one being "overlapping generation.

  Wt will have to change or it will fade away. Both would be a better thing than the current organization

  Watchtower ~ IBSA

  by Joe Grundy in

  i never was a jw.. i wonder if those who know more about this than i do can clear something up for me.. as i understand it, when rutherford took over and changed the name to jws, there was a major split and some (the rump?

  ) went off and retained the old name of 'bible students'.

  i thought that the old, original 'bible students' were quite separate from current jws.. and yet ... the wt hq in uk is at 'ibsa house'.

  The Wikipedia article for 'Bible Student Movement' is a good place to start. The WT Society still has control of the IBSA, but the various breakaway groups had to form different legal corporations.

  in a separate thread on the very latest figures for the current world wide annual report of jws, discussion turned to how "we'll know decline has really set in.

  one of the posters said: .

  the figure that interests me most is the number of congregations.

  One of the posters Evidently meant that the number of congregations is increasing due to the overlapping generations of footstep followers.

  I can't see the caption very clearly, but I think the accident must have involved a car, and the flatbed is the wrecker to haul away the car.

  Looks more like they are loading or unloading off the flatbed, rather than an accident.

  Seems odd that the Bible never mentions Pryamids?

  by dropoffyourkeylee in

  doesn't it seem strange that the bible never mentions the pyramids?

  how could someone go to egypt at that time and not even so much as mention the huge monuments?

  Considering that these were rough measurements made by priests who didn't actually make the molten sea, it isn't too far off. If you consider that the diameter is possibly an outside measurement, and that the thickness of the walls is a'hand's width', the circumference ( measured by a rope laying along the top of the wall, for instance) would be very close to 30.

  Bethels all downsizing within a year?

  by Formerbrother in

  2. beliefs

  why is there a huge cull going on of all bethels around the world?.

  about 80% cull within the next year?.

  some have been in bethel for decades and will be sent packing, the 20% of bethelites who stay will have to do their own food, laundry and clean their flat.

  There was a time (1970's and before) that the annual meeting was only open to voting members of the Society. Most or all of them were anointed ( at that time) so there was a perception that they were going to a special meeting for the anointed. But it wasn't, it was just the annual meeting. I knew one of the voting members (now deceased) and I remember some talk about it.
