I'm actually amazed that the US even had a 1% increase . The most greedy materialistic society on the planet should not have an increase , I think satan is slacking a little .LOL

I like how they say they spent a whopping $111 million dollars, while taking in 1 billion.
Memorial partakers is a joke, how come the number never changes ??? what was the number last year ?
Over a billion hours in service, for a suppose 250,000 increase, hhhhhmmmmmmmm

It was Pitcairn Island matey, arrr!No it wasn't ya silly bugger. Pitcairns Island is where the Mutineers ended up. And I looked it up on Wikipedia and I was right! Captain Bligh sailed to Timor in that crappy little boat:
William Bligh FRSRN (9 September1754 – 7 December1817) was an officer of the BritishRoyal Navy and colonial administrator. He is best known for the famous mutiny that occurred against his command, aboard HMAV (His Majesty's Armed Vessel) Bounty and the remarkable voyage he made to Timor, on the Bounty's launch, after being set adrift by the mutineers.
Nosferatu said: Damn, Gumby. I never knew. It just blows me away that you and Mary are friends.
It's true. Gumby pays me $5.00 a month to be his friend. That's $2.00 a month more than what his imaginary friends are getting. I feel soooooooo special!!
Brent said: From an accounting standpoint those numbers are so subjective because the WTS can not use any checks and balances to verify that what is reported is anything close to accurate. They rely completely on honest reporting practices and we know just how honest some of them are. Myself included at that time.
It's true and you know what? I don't think they even care that half the hours are all faked. They're like Enron in that respect: as long as they've got some figures on paper, it makes no difference if there's nothing there to back it up. And like Enron, they're screwing those that trust them, out of a life, savings and a decent retirement, all for the greater glory of "the company". Actually my hours used to be pretty accurate......the only time I faked it is when I was pioneering one month. I had 59 hours and I thought "oh screw this" and wrote down "60".

I especially like to see the 0% or negative % in JW strongholds like Germany, Canada, Argentina etc. The ultimate would be to one day see a negative in the United States column.

Gumby,
Go for it. It is the only reason in the whole wide world to be a Witness, and I'm sure you'll spread seeds of discontent carefully, everywhere you go.
There is no other reason to be a JW.
End of story.
