John 6:66-69 compared to Matthew 23:12 Noah preached for centuries, he had brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, nephews,niece, neighbors and lots of friends BUT ONLY eight survived that destruction. Luke 17:26 So MANY will sleep off SPIRITUALLY,those worthy of everlasting life will remain. Matthew 24:13 wink wink wink
Another explanation is that the GREAT CROWD are not JW after all. You may have been duped.

The number of the GREAT CROWD are supposed to be GREAT not shrinking.
Maybe the GB will come out with a new Light saying the GREAT CROWD will be very small like in the days of Noah.


The only part of the JW growing are the people who eat bread and drink wine on Nisan 14, supposedly the anointed JW.

Your whole interpretation of the bible is delusional, many serious JW are seeing. They are doing the logical thing; "Get out of her my people".

You're very correct. Yet they say christendom churches force out money from their members.
Whats the difference between their actions and other churches.
Please checkout this site.. so many beautiful informations on there

Low informed, low educated citizen is what results when the leader of a religion mis-interpreted the scriptures.
The religions at the bottom of this chart all have leaders who discourage education. They are also highly controlled groups.

Primesky ,did Jesus Christ give Judas a warm embrace & tell him well done ?

Did Moses dance & clap for rebellious Korah & his gang who "rose up against Moses"? Num16:1-50. "Expel the wicked man from among you"1 Cor 5:9-13.

The only begotten is strictly for father & son / parents & child relationship. Therefore, Jesus is the son of Jehovah/ Yahweh, that is why he attained the special status of God's only begotten son.

This is a wicked lie!. My dear be very careful. Everything about JW, is against the person of Jesus Christ!. Jesus Christ is God the son, He has been right from the beginning as such, even Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel identified Him as such, being the fourth man in the fire with Shedrack, Mishark and Abednego. Stop the wicked lie watch tower is feeding you. Oh my dear, wake up!

Did Jesus Christ rise bodily from the dead or not?.

These are irrefutable facts.
Prove it with the holy scriptures that Jesus dined with Judas & welcomed him into the fold after Judas betrayal. Or that Moses had a cozy relationship with the rebellious gang of Korah or that Paul never said "expel the wicked man from among you"

Here is what they beleive: For anyone to survive JWs Armageddon, he/she has to support JWs governing body financially, with your labor, and handing out tracts. (another recent name for the GB is “the faithful and discreet slave” )

WT 2015 march 15,
" The growing number of prospective sheep count it a privilege to support Christ’s brothers not only in the preaching work but also in other practical ways. For example, they give financial contributions and help to build Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls, and branch facilities, and they loyally obey those appointed by “the faithful and discreet slave” to take the lead.​"

Why make predictions when you know they wont come true.
Just to create panic and get people to believe and flock to you.
Most religions especially American churches have used this tactic. Jehovah's witnesses are the most reprehensible

Deuteronomy 18:20-22
20 “‘If any prophet presumptuously speaks a word in my name that I did not command him to speak or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.+ 21 However, you may say in your heart: “How will we know that Jehovah has not spoken the word?” 22 When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.’

TO THE BODIES OF ELDERS

Subject: Jehovah's Witness Lawyers wishing to collaborate with the branch

Dear brothers:

A survey is attached for Jehovah's Witness lawyers wishing to collaborate voluntarily and altruistically in favour of Kingdom interests with regard to legal matters. Once the professional brother writes down the information requested in the survey, he should hand it over to the Congregation Service Committee so that they can complement it and make their recommendation.

We share the following guidelines to help you identify brothers with the appropriate disposition and profile (Isaiah 6:cool.

They must be in a good spiritual condition, be exemplary in the ministry, in the family and in the congregation.
It is preferred that they have experience in court and tribunal litigation or in dealings with government offices.
They must be able to work as a team, follow direction, and have a diligent and helpful attitude.
If there is someone in your congregation with the profile mentioned above, encourage them to make themselves available by filling out the attached form (LD-04) (Ps 110:3). The survey can be sent in PDF format from the Inbox of a congregation elder to the Legal Affairs Inbox or via email to consultaslegales.mx@jw.org. Explain to the brothers that after filling out the survey and giving it to the elders, they will not receive a letter in response. Rather, when a need arises, they will be contacted by the branch. If someone can no longer make themselves available, no longer meets the requirements, or moves congregation, the body of elders should make sure that they notify the Legal Department.


On the other hand, if the circumstances of a publisher allow them to devote one or more specific days in the week to collaborate with the branch or if they could support the branch occasionally when urgent needs arise, encourage them to fill out an Application for Volunteers Program (A-19). In the letter dated 10th October 2016, under the subject "Bethel Advisers", you can find recommendations for this facet of sacred service. When someone completes the A-19 application and is a legal professional, they can also fill out the attorney survey.


It is nice to be able to count on brothers who have the same attitude as the apostle Paul in defending the good news for the love of the Christ (Philippians 116). We trust that with your spiritual vision you can recommend valuable brothers.


We send you our warm Christian love and best wishes.

Your brothers,

Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses

What about if they chose to become lawyers not for material gains but for wholeheartedly defending and supporting the kingdom message? Act 8:1,13:2 Saul studied and became a lawyer in the school of the Pharisees (Act 22:3) but ended up serving under the Prince of peace. 2Corinthians 11:21-33 Whereas another young and WELL EDUCATED Jewish ruler saw Jesus, got an invitation and threw it all away. Why? Because his career and riches meant more to him than Salvation. Luke 18:18-23 Today Paul's name is boldly written on hearts even in the heart of unbelievers but what about the other EDUCATED ruler? his memory is gone for good and nobody not even you can say this is his name because he had no treasures with God. 1Timothy 6:9,10,17-19 So my friend,the GB serves as watchmen ONLY for those who are disposed for everlasting life(Act 13:48) not for doubleminded ones who are still thinking of accumulating riches in this "concluding" system of things. 1John 2:15-17 compared to Matthew 6:19-21 We're Jehovah's Witnesses, courageous delegates of God's Kingdom! wink wink wink

Let me tell you what you don't know about yourself today. Satan has been disguising as the God different religious groups are claiming to be their one God. He made them stupid by presenting thousands forms of worship deceiving them it's all leading to one place. Now that Jehovah's organization is uncovering Satan's tactics,he is changing strategies by coming out to declare war on true FAITH, that's the reason why most of you are unknowingly becoming atheists today. Saying "we're tired worshipping HIM because HE has taken too long"(2Peter 3:3-10 compared to Matthew 24:12) So my friend, "FAITH is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not seen" Hebrews 11:1 If you on your own believe you can't please Jehovah anymore ,millions are still holding firm their strong FAITH. You're free to decide (personally) your next line of action but you can't move those standing firm for their own salvation. (Hebrews 11:6) For your information those material things you cherish and trust so much can not guarantee you safety even now nor buy for you the REAL life(everlasting life) which is to come.Matthew 6:19-21 They'll all perish and you that's WORSHIPPING them they'll disappoint. 1John 2:15-17 compare to Luke 12:15-21

People who were discharged from Bethel after being told they will be there until Armageddon.
People who have lost family members because of refusal to take life saving transfusions (only for the no-blood doctrine to be changed over and over again)
People whose parents have tossed them out of the house simply because they disagree with the GB
Many young ones who do not get support to go to college because the GB rant against university education.

The list goes on an on.

The only disappointment i'm seeing is someone who have the Bible with him,read,studied,meditated on the written document and finally said "all that the book says i'm willing to do" only to get to a point and say "the book has failed me so i'm cancelling the oath i took then". But instead of openly condemning the Bible you're hiding your face behind critics standing against those who taught you the truth from it. John 6:66 Why not point to another religious group that's worthy of associating with as Christians since the GB is now a failure? John 6:68,69 My friend, disappointment is not new on the surface of the earth but you are the WORSTEST disappointment to yourself and to world of intellectuals if you can't find better acquaintances to replace those whom you're claiming to have disappointed you!

Meanwhile all we are hearing from the GB is "Hail the theocracy ever increasing, wondrous expansion is now taking place..." Wow

In England and the USA, sale of Kingdom Halls and dissolution of Congregations is increasing at an alarming rate.

People are seeing through the lies of these WT leaders. People are waking up.
It can be upsetting to read all these facts especially because the watchtower does not want its members to go research anything about WT from non-WT sources, but thanks to the internet, members are now going online and finding out the deceits.

Matthew 24:12 I've made my own research even before it happened so my answer still remains the same Matthew 24:13. Jesus said "let the fine seed and the weeds continue growing together" Matthew 13:30 so the ongoing separation has already been prophesied by no one else but Jesus,this is the time when the weeds are separated from the fine seed. You're just sinking too low than i expected of you,for your information when i said "YES" during my baptism, i wasn't seeing the crowd behind me not to talk of some far away individuals. I'm seeing myself ALONE walking towards Paradise. So it's not to them i made the vow but to Jehovah! You're just drowning more and more than i can imagine, for your information the day i got baptized i answered "YES!" not to the one delivering the speech, not to my Bible study conductor, not to those in my congregation, not to the crowd behind me but to JEHOVAH! So what's my business with those who are cancelling their OWN vows? wink wink wink

Do you even know what you answered YES to on the day you got baptized?
If you forgot here are the questions:

1. On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?
2. Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization?



Below are the baptismal questions in 1966 according to a August 1, 1966 Watchtower, p. 465,:

(1) Have you recognized yourself before Jehovah God as a sinner who needs salvation, and have you acknowledged to him that this salvation proceeds from him, the Father, through his Son Jesus Christ?

(2) On the basis of this faith in God and in his provision for salvation, have you dedicated yourself unreservedly to God to do his will henceforth as he reveals it to you through Jesus Christ and through the Bible under the enlightening power of the holy spirit?


Do you note the difference in 2nd question?

The changes to the 2 baptism questions above are mainly a legal issue. Anyone being baptized now recognized the total authority of the WT organization. The change to question 2 above now made it legally binding to disfellowship someone for disagreeing with any opinion of the Watchtower organization as they had taken a vow that it was 'God's spirit directed organization'.

It is interesting that in the February 2017 Watchtower Study article, paragraph 12 says: "The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction."

Your problem is not keeping Jesus' words in mind. All you're after is disassociating people from the GB but you've forgotten one important thing to be done first. At John 6:68,69 Peter answered Jesus when MAJORITY of those following Him left and never coming to back. Please take note of Peter's question "to whom shall we go?" So instead of worrying yourself about those leaving for uncertainty, why not concentrate on "where faithful followers can go for PURE WORSHIP that they cherish most"? That's where the Spirit dwelling in you failed woefully. wink wink wink

Why JW gets a lot of flak is a fundamental difference in their doctrine compared to other denominations.

And it is that Jesus is not God. A departure from the core belief in "christiandom", TRINITY.

Your problem is not keeping Jesus' words in mind. All you're after is disassociating people from the GB but you've forgotten one important thing to be done first. At John 6:68,69 Peter answered Jesus when MAJORITY of those following Him left and never coming to back. Please take note of Peter's question "to whom shall we go?" So instead of worrying yourself about those leaving for uncertainty, why not concentrate on "where faithful followers can go for PURE WORSHIP that they cherish most"?

You consider your worship PURE as long as your leaders say so.

Hmmmmmmmmmm "As long as your leaders say so" but please sir do you think true faith could be in various denominations having contradicting doctrines and conflicting teachings? Because the i can't understand why so many different religions are claiming to be one when worshippers aren't one in thought! 1Corinthians 1:10,Ephesians 4:5

They also believe that only Jehovah's witness will be saved. And that survival depends on obeying their leaders called the Governing body.
So when people point out problems in their beliefs, they get defensive.
In Australia alone, more than a thousand cases of unreported child molestation were found in their midst by an Australian government commission. https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/ (See Case study 29)
The Jehovah's witnesses have spent million of US$ to settle out of court child abuse cases in the state of California alone. Several cases are ongoing all over the world (except in Africa for obvious reasons).

That's for you the religion who claim the "Only true religion", who condemn others and claim that others churches are false aka Babylon the Great.

They only want you to research about them using only their source. But all over the internet you will better learn about them from extra-JW sources
I've just scratch the surface
