<quoted text>What a load of rubbish! Try looking in Yearbook and youll see increases year on year .Sure some drop out (as surely happens in every religion even in bible times) but a darned sight more replace them,so in 5-10years (if armagedon hasnt come) instead of 7000,000 there will be 10,000,000. and youll still be holding "moaning meetings" in the local telephone booth! Ha Ha!

Wow Jake, I must have hit a nerve.With your childish rant you are proving to the world that the wt doesnt promote higher education. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

I have gone to many assembly's in Augusta. There was a time when they stopped going there because there was not enough room. They had us going to Portland Civic Center to accommodate the growth for circuit assemblies.. I guess numbers must be dropping if they are going back to Augusta?
The motorcycle toy run is the following week. That is a much better cause.

Yeh a motorcycle toy run is more on your intelligence level!KNUCKLE DRAGGER!Have you had your ears pierced too deep?

Well the Watch Tower Society is the false prophets. They are the ones who predicted at least seven times that the world would end at a certain time. None of those past(false) prophecies have come true.

There are several Jehovah's Witness meeting halls in my area. But not being a JW, I don't attend their services so I can't comment on their attendance or lack of it. But I do know that locally their door to door sales staff has shrunk to be almost non-existent.

In the 1990s the Witnesses called on my home 3 times, about once every two years. I was always friendly toward them and even accepted one of their brochures. They said they would follow-up in a few weeks to see what I thought of their message. Well that was in 1996.

Since then my wife and I did have a visit from some Latter Day Saint missionaries, but no JWs in over 13 years. Have the Witnesses given up door to door religious sales for setting up kiosks in shopping malls?

Or did the JWs sell the religious sales rights to our neighborhood to the Latter Day Saints?
