I knew Greg Ciccu' and Carmine Boscaino when they were two snot filled kids. But they have become fine company men now doing the watchtowers bidding.

On May 4-11, 2024 we had Brother Warren Shewfelt visit the Italian Branch. On May 11th a meeting was held for all the kingdom halls in Italy. Brother Shewfelt is also Canadian like brothers Boscaino and Cicciù who are at the head of the Italian branch after the scandals of the 2000s, in which many Bethelites had to leave Bethel and the governing body took matters into their own hands.
Pompous meeting in which it was repeated that Jehovah blesses, but in reality the numbers are decreasing throughout Italy

Some data that shows there is no growth. The constituencies in 2015 were 182, in 2024 there are 172. The publishers in 2015 were 251,650 while in 2024 we reached a maximum of 251,604.
To be positive the numbers are stagnant or have reached the plateau and are slightly declining. Strangely enough, every Bethelite felt the need to say that God is blessing in Italy because there is great growth, but no one anymore believes what they say from the podium and the data speaks clearly.

So was he bringing the WT to Bologna, or was he bringing Bologna to the WT? 🤔

The years of boasting about increases are long gone. There is no increases anywhere on the globe. Witnesses are fooling themselves about any perceived growth.
Thank you for the update.
