2001 Worldwide Report
by Elsewhere ini was browsing around the watchtower.org web site and happened across their stats.. i found the cayman islands to be of particular interest.... there is only one baptized publisher, yet there are two congregations with 169 peak witnesses, 114 average bible studies and 461 in memorial attendance.. i can't help but wonder how they pulled this off.
one baptised publisher, two congregations.
there is obviously not a body of elders in either congregation..

Interesting discussion with some JWs
by Nathan ini had some jws visit me today and meet for the first time.
the time has left me feeling sad and confused.
i learnt some interesting things about these two individuals.. firstly, the man launched straight into his 'good news'.

NEW TO YOU ALL...MY STORY
by rebuilding94 ini was born into the witnesses in 1962, i was disfellowshiped when i was 18, because i decided to marry a catholic.
our first son was born 4 years later, and thinking i had to teach our son about god, which in it self is not a bad thought, so the only thing i new was the jw's teaching's, and yes i went back.. it took them 11 months to decide weather they would reinstate me, 11 month's of no one talking to me, no one coming to see my new baby, allways leaving befor the meeting was completely over, so as not to feel any more hurt then nessecary.
after i was reinstated i proceeded to raise our 3 children as jw's.
