Nos, Mary is like my #1 concubine and we just had a kid named Onan who's gonna carry on my family line since I ain't got any kid gumbies to do so. I ain't even got any daughters either.

Here's our kid

joe black said: 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.

I agree. We've been at 0% here in Canada for the last several years.....I think this is one of the first years the States has had any positive growth. The GB must be shitting bricks. After all, they've tried everything but hold a gun to the R&F's head, and people are still abandonning ship. Not only are people abandonning it, there's virtually no replacements coming in. I think if the day ever comes where the States has a negative growth, that's really going to make some stop and question: why are even bothering?

Cheap porno? You've got the Youth book with you?

BTW....the kid looks like Gumbers, minus the green skin. LOL!

The good report that the apostles came back with had nothing to do with figures, books, mags or hours, rather the good results of the HS on the preaching in general. Sad how it all is twisted around, God has never been impressed with figures.

Something I find very odd is that the report says 2005 had 6,390,022 Average publishers, yet the data I have says 6,391,500.

Did I get the data wrong or did the WTS change or revise their original report? Does anyone have the Feb 1, 2005 WT to confirm? I checked the WTCD but it does not contain the 2005 Service Year Report.

Elsewhere, I tend to agree with your projection, except for one group of years. Expect a spike around 2011 - 2015. Wierdos will be in full force about the Mayan calendar ending in 2012 and then you have the 100 year anniversary of 1914 just on the backside of that. 2015 expect the decline to pick up once again.

Just something to consider...

unbelievable , they can't even count without changing it .

Anyone else notice that 10% of all the witnesses in the world are in Mexico?

I love the Falkland Islands. I can just hear comments at this WT study about the great increase in distant lands. Why the Falklands grew by 33%. Oh wait a minute, they went...get this...from 3 to 4! Yes folks four whole publishers and a whooping 33%. Need I say more?

... and that person was probably a relative.
