  a paedophile used his position within the jehovah's witnesses to sexually abuse three girls for years - as young as five.

  michael john hewitt, 71, abused his victims over several decades, starting in the 1980s, at home while they were all under 16. .

  two of his victims were aged just five when hewitt began abusing them at both their homes and his while he was a member of the congregation.

  Web traffic statistics released for the Reddit ExJW Subreddit

  fwiw, the moderators have released the traffic statistics for the reddit exjw subreddit.

  .

  web statistics are not generally an exact science - the 'best' indication is normally the 'unique' visitor number - although one person may be using more than one device to access the website (ie using desktop and mobile), but also more than one person may being using the same device (ie a shared home desktop).. on a forum-style website, the number of 'page views' is a bit pointless as it will normally always be much, much higher than a non-forum-style website - but it can give a general idea on how engaged visitors are (how many topics/threads they are reading).

  the previously posted wt letter of december 15, 2017 "re: 2017 service year report" was for the us congregations.. as expected the second (and third) paragraphs of the letter are being re-written to feature highlights in the local field to the congregations that it is addressed to.... hence below is what i understand to be the highlighted figures in the letter that is being sent and read out (in the first week of january 2018) to congregations in the philippines.. i believe that the philippines is traditionally one of the wt's *star performers* in terms of growth (*cough*cough* if you exclude the 1975-fallout) .

  (previous year's figures in brackets) .

  peak publishers: 210,914 (209,131).

  Monthly Broadcast for December 2017 is 'replaced by....' - plus more....

  by darkspilver in

  looks like the wt are even reducing the video content nowadays...... no jw tv monthly broadcast for december 2017 - instead it is replaced with the 'gilead graduation part 1' programme.

  issues with translation - apparently replacing the monthly broadcast with the hour long 'spiritual' part of the graduation means that the wt are able to translate it into more languages than before.. plus more.....
