  A fair number of 2015 convention attendance and baptism were tracked here:

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/392far/2015_convention_locationdatesattendancebaptized/

  Ballpark was about 0.5% of attendees were baptized.

  2016 numbers appeared to be about 0.4%

  So far, in 2017, there appears to be slightly less than 0.4% (but not by much).

  The 2018 Yearbook numbers for the west should likely show slight overall declines in average publishers.

  The big mistake of jw.org property management

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i read some news story's about the property deals of jw.org in brooklyn.

  they made good money and good connections.. but i'm sure jw.org made a very, very big mistake in brooklyn.

  they did.. they sold and are selling all the property for money.

  so if I've read this correctly they sold their property portfolio in Brooklyn for far less than they were worth?

  My POV is: Why sell Brooklyn real estate beginning in 2012, etc.? Nowhere near the peak of the market.

  July Broadcast - Bible Teach book and Keep Yourselves In Gods Love book

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower

  i didn't manage to last the whole broadcast.

  it was so unbelievably boring that i only managed halfway before i switched it off.

  in this broadcast anthony morris iii (who i affectionately call "the don") stresses to us the importance of studying - not one - but two of their publications in order to understand the bible.

  ToMo is 100% correct.

  The Bible Teach book is all carrot - pandas and paradise.

  God's Love book is all stick - obey the Borg or die.

  People that only want paradise, but who do not want to sacrifice their entire life to an unappreciative corporation, will indeed end up leaving.
  

  Search the Bible Teach book for the following:

  - faithful and discreet slave (or any variation)

  - Governing Body

  - disfellowship (ed) (ing)

  These terms are withheld for a reason.

  I completely agree with the efforts by OP.

  There is a good reason that WT is going digital - paper and printing cost real money.

  When litterature was sold door-to-door, WT made money.

  Also, publishers are trained to ask for donations door-to-door. They are not allowed to ask for donations when cult-carting.

  I applaud his efforts.
