ok, so the title is just an idea the society / gb could adopt.. clearly there is very little growth from outsiders coming into the organization.
the only real growth is coming from children being born into the faith.. the broadcasts, and the stuff on the official website for children gives proof of the manipulative techniques the gb is using by way of propaganda on these born in young ones.. so, it is not a huge leap to suggest that if the society wants to maintain growth, then they have to encourage witness couples to keep popping out offspring!.
no birth control perhaps?
waton, are you referring to this when Onan withdrew before he ejaculated?@waton I heard that one before, but do you happen to have an OT reference for me?
no, sorry my memory is that sex was outlawed until 1 0r two weeks after the end of the monthly blood flow. that would bring the first, and eagerly awaited unprotected sex into the fertility dates, a perfect recipe for population grows through copulation, not cart standing. Blondi probably could help us helpless males in a jiffy.

The OT law outlawed the rhythm method, allowed sex only in the fertile middle of the cycle. Everything else is so OT for jws, so why not go back to nature and praise he cradle?
George, the 30s?
i can easily believe that thousands did all through the watchtowers glory years but especially after '95 the whole thing has been unravelling.
kidding yourself to maintain family relationships and social networks is *somewhat* understandable in life but on your deathbed?.
i think the demographic for jw's may actually get younger as time goes on.
I had my last breath possibly during a massive heart attack, and evacuation by helicopter, and wt thoughts never entered my waking moments between pass outs that could have been the last. last breaths are wt free.

.If David had just slept with Bathseba, maybe just maybe God would have not been too hard on him... iort 500;
I think you are tort here,-- adultery, that is, seducing somebody else's wife, or husband was a "you both must die" offence, (if you did not have the bigger army). so, there was no repentance excuse or exemption in the law, according to Paul.-- For David, having several wives, including one other widow, was just not enough,-- let other men go without.
Good point: wt's gb and god, love David, it gives them license to get away with murder, and other yukky stuff.

Par.13: "--Instead of being paralyzed by guilt, David learned from his mistakes. Indeed, he never repeated those serious sins. Years later, he died faithful, his record of integrity firmly sealed in Jehovah’s memory. Blondi:
like David, today, any sinning elder that hides his sin, and after 2 years of not being paralyzed with fear (of being found out), and "being blessed in his work" can expect to remain unpunished by wt, yeah, if you govern, just carry on. -well-, a sex criminal yes, a real murderous elder hardly, but certainly life destroyers . and
of course, if there is an earthly resurrection, wt style, David without his libido. will then not repeat his rampage through womanhood, and be hunting for foreskins to get laid.
# new wt use of the word: "-sealed-" in his memory, meaning possibly, not to be opened and used again, the hidden message: don't believe it, there might not even be a sealed content accessible for future use.

feeding and caring for thousands of animals for forty days, JW_Rogue:
Never mind 40 days, 9 month. that is how long it took for the water to subside from Mt. Everest to sea level.
I guarantee you that Noah did not take up woodworking as a hobby when he retired.

thank you blondie, there is another prior "year's text " topic with more meat. like
paragraph 17 where the widow could see the corruption in he temple organisation and still contributed. wt message:
even if you discover wrongs in wt (failed prophecies), contribute anyway, your last penny.
so we all know how the organization conducts itself regarding child abuse.
the multitude of legal cases worldwide including the current australian royal commission as well as anecdotal accounts prove their attitude.. perpetrators have not been reported to authorities, and data bases of such have been kept sealed even when demanded by the courts!.
however, when it comes to those of us who have simply left the organization due to learning the truth, the society spares no effort in spreading gossip and ensuring that one's name and reputation is ruined.. so gb, which crime is worse?
Child abuse is an universal problem, even in olympic coaching, apostasy from wt is an undoing of the wt indoctrinated mindset, the greatest threat to the universal sovereignty issue, aka gb authority
par 5: "--noah could not make the flood come any sooner,--" but wt used to teach we could "hasten the day" by doing enhanced full time preaching.
par7: "--we know jehovah has promised to destroy--" -- we are convinced -- not one day longer--" -- noah a preacher, faithfully proclaimed the warning message--" no word of that in the actual account, because just to keep the copper tools sharp would have been a full time job.
but we know, we are convinced, wt said so.
re widow investing in wt hope: wt implies, that the widow might have seen the corruption, money making in the temple, but only Jesus could overturn that, but she still put her money on the temple system. .
wt wants you to give your last, even if you suspect that the so called "truth" is doomed.
just in case God does not care for truth, but rewards sincerity, blind faith. .
par 5: "--noah could not make the flood come any sooner,--" but wt used to teach we could "hasten the day" by doing enhanced full time preaching.
par7: "--we know jehovah has promised to destroy--" -- we are convinced -- not one day longer--" -- noah a preacher, faithfully proclaimed the warning message--" no word of that in the actual account, because just to keep the copper tools sharp would have been a full time job.
but we know, we are convinced, wt said so.
most significant paragraphs. tacid admissions:
par 13, david memories sealed, possibly never to be opened again
par 17: it is ok to contribute to a corrupt organisation to prove your worth. yes
WTwizard, there used to be a song "take my silver and my gold"
half banana, Noah , preacher, jws know that, Everest covered no kangaroo in Australia 2700 BC. ha ha.
