Sorry to hear that Raymond.
Maybe the global number could reach 100K if you are correct that "thousands" were imprisoned in Greece alone from 1945 to 1995.

everyone who pushes ahead and does not remain in the teaching of the christ does not have god.
the one who does remain in this teaching is the one who has both the father and the son.

Reminds me how even though Jesus told Nicodemas THREE TIMES that a person must be born again, WT says you can't be born again because the invitations (144K of them) ran out.
Very small little deceivers they are. -

If I had to guess. I would say..... 12K - 15K in the USA.
Anyone think the number should be lower or higher?
@ Bill Covert
So I guess you are admitting to being a convicted felon over the whole affair. That's big and is truly a loss. Glad you woke up. -

Hundreds?
Thousands?Tens of Thousands?
My uncle went to prison on this issue. He died before they allowed community service. Too bad his incarceration was based on a whim from some jackass in a tower in NYC.

Why Do JW's Believe that Hell is Symbolic When the Disciples of the Apostles believed it Was Literal ?
by Sea Breeze inlooks like the early christians believed jesus when he warned about hell over 40 times.
why don't the jw's do the same?.
from “the epistle of barnabas” (70-130ad).

How did you get to that complex concept of hell in your head Sea Breeze??
The scriptures are all there on the chart. You might have to google a bigger version to read. The chart is over 100 years old and was made by Rev. Clarence Larking. He was also an architect.
The chart represents the the view of hundreds of millions of Christians.
The english word "hell" is a broad term.... better thought of as the underworld. -

If that were a place of burning torment, why was he looking forward to going there?
Because there is more than one compartment in hell.

Is there really a Bible rule against sex without marriage?
by Halcon inregarding the poster from jw headquarters, who claimed that the gb would eventually loosen the rules regarding sex.
the question is, is there really a bible rule explicitly prohibiting sex without marriage?
because this would be the only possible reason why loosening those rules would even come up in a discussion.

Not only that; there is also a biblical rule against marriage without sex!

Money Is The Answer For Everything - Eccl. 10: 19 (NASB)
by Sea Breeze indo jehovahs witnesses believe eccl.
10: 19 is literal or is limited in application in some way?
money is the answer for everything - eccl.

Looks like they limited the application of this verse to purchasing bread and wine.
Why then don't they limit Eccl 9: 5 - "But the dead know nothing" to just the body?
