  This is a change from 7 years ago.

  In 2007, it was 48% white, 22% black, and 24% Latino. There has been quite a demographic shift.

  Getting the Urge!

  by Theburstbubble in

  evening folks, so as some of you may know we have recently decided to leave the witnesses and can see it for the man made organisation it is.

  so, why do i get the urge to go back and feel guilty for not being there!

  it's like my mind is telling me to be logical about it all but then something keeps pulling me back.. don't get me wrong i really want to break free from it all and i'm resisting the urge to go back as i have been miserable in the truth for a long time as i've known it's not right and want to do the best by my daughter.

  2. friends

  i was asked if i knew of any jdubs within my congregation that could help out counting the money for this years regional convention, imitate christ.

  so i gave a few names and included my wife, i was hoping for her to wake up and see how the org is all about the money in the back room.

  do you think it woke her up a bit?

  If JWs only knew "apostates" were counting their donation money and handling it honestly. LOL!

  How many here believed, down deep in your heart that the end would come in 1975?

  i was straddling the fence on that one, just in case they were right.

  i don't recall.

  telling anyone this is your last chance.

  I was only 3 in 1975. I wish I had a conscious memory of that time, it might’ve come in handy later. All I heard was the Society never said 1975…just some people interpreted that way. If I only knew!

  What went wrong in your congregation?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the target is converts.. why does it seem such an outrageous aim for a congregation to recruit new converts?.

  in my old congregation, the enthusiasm was there but the knocking on doors produced zero " baptisms" in my final years.. a) why so little interests?.

  b) was it the internet ?.

  I remember in the mid-90's, all the railing against the internet. As a JW, I wondered why. It made no sense to me.

  Now it does.

  VA shooting suspect was raised a JW! He mentions it on his Twitter account

  by WingCommander in

  2. friends

  anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

  bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

  i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

  Alas, JWs will point to this and say, "See there! A mental diseased apostate!"

  Thank you, cha ching!

  I’m absolutely loath at self-promotion, but if any JW has stumbled on this thread and is considered doing this research, perhaps this can be a starting place for you. But in the end, do your own research!

  What Qualifications does Geoffrey Jackson have as a Translator of the Bible ? In any Capacity ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  geoffrey jackson left school at the age of 15 and began pioneering , he never attended a university ,never studied ancient greek ,hebrew or aramaic at any recognized teaching academy , he has no certificates or credentials / qualifications from any place of learning that is approved by a competent body of religious instruction .. and by his own words at the australian royal commission , under oath he stated that was his primary role as a translator of scripture into other languages .. a 15 year old drop out from school in australia is the chief/ prime translator of the bible for jehovah`s witnesses world wide in their many languages that they preach in .. it would be very interesting to see his report cards for those few years he did attend school .. is it just me , or does anybody else see that his qualifications don`t come up to scratch to be a translator of the old testament or the new testament scriptures , and be taken seriously as a translator of either , into any language.. if i am wrong anywhere in this post feel free to correct me .. smiddy.

  What woke you up?

  by Israel Ricky Gonzales in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in march of 2014, i was a very active jw, a ministerial servant, gave a public talk, was an attendant for the memorial, and one of 4 cleaning captains for an international convention of 40,000+ attendees.

  so what woke me up?

  an innocent comment from a co-worker about the candice conti court case rang a bell that could not be unrung.
