The partakers at the Memorial were supposed to be getting fewer and fewer as time went on and when I left about 27 years ago there was only about 8,000 partakers worldwide.
And now their is over 21,000 ?
What a joke .

in a video on the jworg website, governing body stephen lett says that as of december 20, 2020, 7,500 jws have died from covid-19.
strangely enough, the cult never mentions the number of jws who die from refusal of blood transfusions each year… hypocrite..
Welcome to the forum GregW
You would think turning yourself into human sacrifice for Jah would make honorable mention in the Borg ?
Do you remember the Awake magazine drawing attention to the 26? youths that died refusing a blood transfusion . Hailing them as martyrs ?
I`m surprised they would draw attention to that number for the reasons previously given .
Maybe some will start to think ,why weren`t they protected if we are living in the last days ?
Am I not protected ?

Your opinions are welcome.
To the elders ,You are quite welcome to speak with me personally.You say that as a J.W. you continue to draw attention to God`s Kingdom.I have no issue with that .Christendom has done just that for the past 2000 years. And now has approx.1.2 Billion members today.
You would do well to join the Australian Royal Commission into Institutions of child sexual abuse ,A.R.C.
That you have admitted has occurred within your religion, Before the deadline of the 30th of Dec.2020.
Not to do so would be a failure as a Christian Religion as it would be morally and ethically wrong and would bring reproach on the name of Jehovah and his organization JW.ORG
Bringing reproach on the name of Jehovah and going against his arrangement of things is not something to be taken lightly.

what questions should be asked to a jehovah`s witness when confronted with them.. a jw gives his sermon.
"you" immediately ask him by what authority he has from god that you should take notice of him ,seeing their are over 40,000 different christian religions in the world who claim to represent god,.

And if they added to that " what , do you think I am an imbecile or insane ?"
gma is excited.
i found out for christmas i'm going to be a great grandmother twice over.
granddaughters (sisters) are both expecting.
Welcome to the forum Gma-return stick around , there are some great guys and gals here and congratulations
from the borg?.
i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.
towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.
Their were some incidences that occurred involving a couple of brothers that were under investigation in a judicial committee that I believed was being handled wrongly and I took the Elders to task about it and threatened to name them if I sent a letter to both WT HQ in America and also the branch here in Australia .
Their knee`s buckled at that point and they compromised with me.
That`s when I knew the religion had nothing to do with GOD when I could intimidate them.In all sincerity I believed one of the brothers should have been DF and I would have accepted that ,but no they just put conditions on him all because of what they feared I was going to do.
Of course previously they tried all sorts of things to change my mind but I wasn`t having any of it.
That`s when I started looking on the internet and first found a site created by Shaun which then led me to Dogpatch / Free Minds , and here I am today.
Thank you especially to Shaun`s site that I started with.

They might respond that Jesus gave them authority in Matthew 28.
And if they did do that just politely point out to them that they do not " Baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit" so they are not following Jesus Christs instructions there either.
And the organization claims to be the only religion to follow 1st century Christianity as instructed by the Bible.
we were told by watchtower that no way jesus was born on dec. 25th.
.
what do you think now?.
Plus, Jehovah`s Witnesses base their Biblical Knowledge on a Catholic Bible by Catholic Scholars , but giving their own interpretations of scripture.
