You seem to be very frustrated Mr D. Sorry about that.

LOL, he loads his questions and then wonders why nobody answers them, totally transparent, you would think that at least he would make an effort to cover them over with leaves 🙂

It is reassuring for me to know that based on your's and Galveston's responses (such as they are) in this forum, no serious enquirer would ever consider joining your organisation. I would love to know what your leadership would think of the way you insult people.

what alternative do people have, becoming a loner and a hater like you, wow, i bet that really appeals to them, lets break out the Ribena, break some Rivita and lets celebrate Christ, brilliant! With 250,000 new worshippers of Jehovah God on average annually i dont think we shall be taking lessons from you on how to conduct our ministry.

Those seem like impressive numbers indeed, do I have to become a member in order to be received by God into his kingdom?

I dont know, what does the Bible say?

not that great when you take into consideration population growth of 1%. im betting they calculate the new membership increase year upon year and dont count the people leaving, which ive read is high, especially in the 18-25 age group.

Lets ask you some questions seeing that you like it so much,

How many new disciples did you make?

How many Bible studies did you conduct

How many hours did you spend disseminating Bible truths

It says I don't have to be a member, but you say I do, now in the other thread you say you don't know. Confusing.

I have witnessed to many people but I have no idea how many came to Christ.

I have only conducted a few bible studies in groups but I have done many in private with my wife.

Thousands of hours.

I have no idea what you will do with this information, but I expect it will involve personal judgment of me and possibly more of those insults.
