Welcome! I am glad for any in other countries to join in this site. I know the WTS claims much increase in such countries. Truly, the true facts about the Headquarters policies need to be known. How the WTS burdens its people and preaches to "eke" by economically really weighs on people in first world countries and after decades many long-term JWs become wary as they age and poor health sets in.
It would seem that such burdens would be even more so in countries where economics are a struggle to a greater degree for most already. So I value your evaluation on how are ones enduring such loads in many ways in Eastern Africa.
Not sure which countries are part of 'east' Africa but here are some and how some are 'decreasing' in annual baptisms there:
2010: 2011:
Tanzania - 863 773
Kenya 1903 1180
Uganda 428 343
Rwanda 1821 1769
Burundi 814 765
Decrease of 17% in baptisms in these countries altogether.
I hope this continues to decrease and I hope the citizens of these countries become aware how this "American" cult will not help these people in any long-run for certain.

Smily kelly ...
Welcome.
Also good to hear that you are from Africa. I am actually been working with a guy from Nigeria for about a week. He said that he comes from a very wealthy family and they own several large copper mines. He is trying to get his portion of the wealth out of the country and said I would get 15% of everything we transfer to my bank account.
He just asked that I wire him $25,000 as a good faith deposit to prove that I am serious.
It's been about a week now and I will let you know when he is ready to begin the transfers.
Again, welcome.
