  On the Yearbook's Report(Again)

  by Alex Bryant in

  hello.

  i have a question about the number of publishers reported on the yearbook.

  i was wondering if this number refers only to the number of publishers baptized or to the overall number of publisher(baptized & not baptized).

  Memorial attendance is probably a closer number to actual baptised JWs. Its when the irregular and inactive publishers come to the KH.

  Irwin Zalkin(abuse attorney) asked Mario Moreno(Watchtower attorney), "What can we do to change this, so that this doesn't keep happening?" Moreno replied, "We're never changing." Zalkin said, "We'll see about that."

  Could have done without "To Whom Do We Belong" in the background. Nice Nazi Regime overtone to it though.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses dedicate themselves to an organization or not? Which one is it?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone that is/was a dedicated jehovah's witness knows that the worship of the ''faithful and discreet slave'' is the only relationship we know.i don't remember having a personal relationship with jehovah without the governing body being in the way.they make all the rules on every matter.anyone who thinks that jehovah has any control on your daily matters is a fool.jehovah's witnesses only answer to an organization!.

  "we do not dedicate ourselves to a religion, nor to a man, nor to an organization.

  no, we dedicate ourselves to the supreme sovereign of the universe, our creator, jehovah god himself.

  Nope, salvation can only be had by association with the WT "organization". Its all right there in the NWT of the Bible.

  240 'Lands'

  by Jeffro in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses are purportedly 'active' in 240 'lands', quite a remarkable feat for a planet with only about 200 sovereign states (206 if you count all that are recognised by at least one un member, of which jws are present in 166).

  more than half of all jws worldwide are in just 10 countries.

  over 90% are in 45 countries.. to achieve this mathematical miracle, various places that are not separate countries are counted as 'lands'.. tahiti is counted as a separate 'land' though it is part of the society islands, which is part of french polynesia, which is part of... france.

  For comparison, this is taken from the SDA 2014 Statistics: (notice "recognized" by the UN and Languages)

  Countries and Areas of the World as Recognized by the United Nations	237
  Countries and Areas of the World in Which Seventh-day Adventist Work is Established	216

  Google, Apple & how Next Gen INTERNET will DECIMATE the Watchtower Society

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  think the early 80's.

  one of the most important events in watchtower history was the release of crisis of conscience by former governing body member f. franz.

  slow distribution of this "apostate" book lead to a minor loss of members.

  It is. Of course they won't print a side by side of peak publishers. Too revealing.
