just scanned through,,article on giving dollars, houses, and wills to the WTS, of course. article on being forgiving,,article to choose 'singleness.' same old same old
did check numbers they gave on Spain,,Their 2012 Memorial attendace, showed a decrease also,, 4.5% decrease,,their publishers total shows a decrease from the 2011 peak. On their 2011 their ratio to population was 1 to 412,,in WT now shows ratio 1 to 423,, so their pub. not increasing with population.
Now that's what I call " Good News "
Interesting. I look forward to seeing the full report as evidence seems to be gathering that decline may have been widespread last year.
They put out that crap about choosing singleness too often. Once we were supposed to study that topic in a washtowel, and I made sure I would miss the boasting session. Besides, who chooses it for you, Jehovah?
Yes, I found this article intriguing too. Could the Society possibly make it more obvious that they are entering financially sore straits without admitting they are running low on cash?! The desperation is becoming painfully obvious. Expect more of this type of article in the future.

The "Here's how to give us money" articles have been in each November 15 Watchtower for the past 12 or so years.
It's timed to appear toward the end of the year as a "gentle reminder" for wealthy JWs to hurry up and write those large checks, to get their tax deductions for charitable giving in on time.
Isn't this simply the same begging article they run every single year?
Sir82 that is twice in two threads that you've written essentially the same as me almost simultaneously. Have you stolen my brain? This would explain why I am slower these days.
Clearly it's the holy spirit operating on us!
Jesus loves you!
Shucks you know how to endear yourself.
