  Peer pressure will come into play to follow the GB`s direction and it will,or has of course be adopted unanimously by the congregations.

  today i searched and found the jw chart at the station square just across the corner of my work hq, were i had an appointment.

  this time they were not located at the central square, but hiding just arround a corner.

  i looked the jw's in the eye, a man and his wife, +/- 50 years old, and they looked very depressed, down and quilty.

  Maybe just maybe this will be their first move in waking up to the JW`s as a religion they shouldn`t be associated with ,we can only hope.

  Good Scripture to Show Watchtower = Pharisees

  by truth_b_known in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i read something today that immediate brought the watchtower/jws to mind.

  something to share with jws the next time they come knocking at your door.

  i'll even quote it from the nwt - luke 18:9-14.

  Welcome bobfish ,obviously you now have a life to live and you are doing it and JW`s you know always call when they do at the most inappropiate times so thats probably why you never see them.

  I`m sorry about your mom,so many old dears have invested so much time money and energy into this religion they just can`t bring themselves to admit they have been duped all of their lives .

  aren't they tiring out from saying this now?.

  a jobo pimi-lite i know has a terminal illness (no names, no pack drill), was told, 'hold on, the end is so close.

  the pimi-lite said they will need to hold on to their 'go bags(tm), then!.

  But, we have compiled a list of top 10 most popular magazines of 2020 is based on their circulation and popularity.

  Don`t confuse the words popularity and circulation ,and I might add a word distribution.Now lets analyse it a bit shall we ?

  Now we both know its not the most popular magazine in the world,common sense alone will tell you that otherwise their would be millions more Jw`s than their is now.So what has this magazine based its opinion on ? Its not popularity and its certainly not the most loved magazines in the world among Christians , just ask catholics ,born again christians etc. name just one religion that would give a thumbs up for these mags not one.,so what is it ?

  Simply DISTRIBUTION ,they very well may be the most distributed magazines in the whole world and that shouldn`t be all that surprising .just think about it anything up to approximately 8 million people pushing these free mags at the D2D work, leaving them in places frequented by people in general such as bus stops ,laundomats ,and anywhere else people frequent .

  And dont forget about all of the mags that simply just get dumped because the JW`s cant place them and they go in the recycle bin or the rubbish bin.

  You have to read between the lines my friend to get the truth .

  By the way welcome to this forum ,stick around ,you will learn a lot here about JW`s I know I did .

  Well if that is true joe134cd Jw`s are doing a pretty poor piss weak job of making converts to their religion these past 140 ? years they have been on the job.

  And I say this noting the amount of hours spent in preaching and distributing literature worldwide ,the amount of hours it takes to make one convert ,because thats what its all about really making converts.

  And I would go as far as stating that in todays environment with the internet their are more and more JW`s leaving the organization than ever before in numbers that are worrying to the Governing Body.

  Whats the big deal whether they have 8.5 million 10 million or even 20 million so what ?

  Is that supposed to mean that they have Gods Blessing upon them ?

  Other religions that started up about the same time as the JW`s have as many members and some many more.

  What makes me really laugh is they say Jehovahs Witnesses can trace their beginnings back to Bible times ?

  Oh Yeah ? and you only can count 8.5 million members today ?

  The Roman Catholic Church has a membership in the vicinity of 1.5 Billion members

  Islam that took roots some Centuries after Jesus being on earth can also boast about 1.5 Billion members

  If anyone wants to show figures like this as to whether or not they have Gods blessing then the JW`s are way down on the list in having Gods favour.

  So if the Australian JW`s want to hold a convention at a sports venue that could hold 50,000 or so ,it could be a good idea for ex JW`s from anywhere but particulary Australia and point out what could be classed as hate speach,breaking up families etc,etc and took up a petition to have their venue denied to them ,that could work ?

  Sounds like a bloody good idea if you ask me .Where do I sign up LOL ?
