The end is so close now....

by punkofnice in

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!.

I know where I would like them to go.....

Where do we rate WatchTower or Awake!

by dydeonwl in

i'm astonished to read that watchtower leads the list of magazines and awake!

is in competition for ranking.

your thoughts are required in this matter.. http://bit.ly/3axlc3o.

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 .

How many here believe the WTS really has has 8.5 million followers / 8.5. million members

by Hotpepper in

i think it's closer to 5 million with all the selling of kingdom hells and branch bethel's all over the world.

it's even hard to get a hard copy of the lastest craptower or afake mag now in new york city..

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.

by Fadeaway1962 in

bbc news: franklin graham's glasgow event axed after council pressure .

i saw this on the bbc and thought you should see it:franklin graham's glasgow event axed after council pressure - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-51302490 .

hi been looking on here for a while now , been a great help in finding ttatt so thanks for that .seen this wonder if assembly venues aware off jws view and stand on these issues and others like child abuse cover up .

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 ?

Congregations That May Dissolve Soon!!

by Atlantis in

jw
friends

from a member of the board asking for this to be posted.. hi.

i'm pimo.

could you please let people know about this?

smiddy3

I agree that they would go into a great steep decline and lose many JW`s that have been serving them for years ,however they have millions if not billions of dollars from their sales of real estate that would tide them over for many years yet ,and they would gradually build it back up into a viable televangelistic religion that so many have done to this day and are thriving.

Dont write the JW religion off just yet ,they can re-write their history yet again.Their lawyers have been tuned in to do this for many decades ,who else do you think is running this show ,the GB are just the figureheads now ,the show ponies ,puppets ,giving the impression its a religious organization.

Jehovah Banned in Singapore

by EverApostate in

singapore is a tiny, beautiful and economically powerful country in se asia.

all religions are allowed there except the jehaovah's witnesses and another christian denomination.

jws are banned because they don’t serve the military and all singapore citizens are required to serve in the military for a while.. the jws are banned in singapore since 1972. .

smiddy3

Jehovah`s Witnesses say they have preached in the entire earth which is a blatant lie.As you say they are banned in Singapore ,North Korea ,Saudi Arabia ,and are severely restricted if not banned outright in many other Muslim Countries and certainly cannot do any D2D preaching.I dont believe they have the freedom to go D2D in mainland China either which has a huge population ,nor Pakistan or Bangladesh .

These countries must amount to about a third of the earths population at least ,so its a lie to say they have covered the earth with their witnessing.

This man is an expert in defending cults ? and the WT/GB/JW`s hire him to defend them ?

What does that say about Jehovah`s Witnesses ?
