  2. experiences

  here in the northeast it is freezing.

  a father and son team brought over the outside garbage cans from the end of the driveway and offered to salt my inlaws' driveway.

  my f-i-l was very impressed and said they're very nice people.

  2012 & 2013 MEMORIAL ATTENDANCES LOWER THAN 2011: Strategies for Beefing up the Numbers

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  worldwide attendances at the witnesses' annual memorial in 2012 and 2013 were lower than in 2011. in 2011, 19,374,737 attended, whereas in 2012, 19,013,343 and in 2013, 19,241,252 attended.. true, attendance does fluctuate from year to year - but it is less common for the numbers to show decline for two consecutive years.. given the memorial is touted as the most important "display" meeting on the jw calendar, what additional push will be exerted this year to get the numbers up?.

  reports of attendances at meetings, memorials, district conventions are incredibly vital to the organization's image of itself as a successful answer to christendom's allegedly nominal membership and poor attendance.

  when you criticize other religions in terms of their reported apathy and/or state of decline, you've got a lot of money on your own religious "health" - as shown by numbers, numbers, numbers.

  The Great Grandmother Tragedy - New video on YouTube

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from the video description:.

  a heartbreaking situation is played out every day for many grandparents that are former jehovah's witnesses or mormons: their precious grandchildren grow up without knowing them, and in some cases the little ones are told that their grandma or grandpa hates god and is serving satan and will be killed at armageddon.. .

  why would such a terrible thing be done?

  "New Light" Annual Meeting Oct 2013" Olive Branch Extended To Apostates and Unfaithful JWs.

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's absurd to think jehovah's slave should take heed or listen to advice from the ever growing mob leaving the organization.

  still, it's your problem you can't keep pace with our present truth as we continue to evolve.

  why should we listen to the the vast army of apostates and evil slaves, they don't want a gente, more humble org, they need to fight fire with fire!

  I had NO idea about the letter to Hitler......

  by Flg8ter in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this was brand new to me........did some research, like we're not supposed to do ;) and dug up crazy stuff that i had no idea about.

  my whole life we were taught have bad and evil "christendom" was for trying to pacify hiter during his rise to power, and how different we were for standing up to him!.

  then i found about the letter dated june 25,1933 from rutherford and his writting team to hiter.

  FOLLOW the MONEY!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm sure that most (if not all) on jwn want to open up the eyes and minds of all those who are blinded, not only to bible teachings, but also to the immorality of the monetary system operated by the wtbts.. every witness and ex-witness on here will openly admit how stupid and gullible they were before learning ttatt, myself included.

  so rather than condemning r/f witnesses, do the christian thing and show human compassion.. to aid (shock!

  ) such ones, can anyone ascertain the approximate market value of the britain branch properties in london?

  classification of Jehovahs Witness members by when they joined up

  by besty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just got to thinking how long can the watchtower peddle the 'soon' story with any credibility?.

  i would say there are the oldtimer or born ins in the 70+ age group - they possibly remember the 2nd world war, and maybe joined for 1975 or made life affecting decisions meaning they are so commited with 'nowhere else to go' that they have surrendered to the resurrection hope.. then you have the '1986 international year of peace, the 1914+70 year' generation crowd.

  people in their 40s and 50s now.
