i'm working on some statistical analysis of child abuse data made public by the royal commission.
while i'm working on this, can someone here do me a favor and look up the peak publisher figures reported by watchtower for the australian branch for each of the years from 2005 through 2014?
my thanks in advance.
Very interesting info. I wonder what the difference between 1st and 3rd world countries would be As far as abuse numbers. I would expect it to be higher in 3rd world countries but under reported.
It seems that in every case you used the most moderate numbers possible. with that in mind the actual numbers most likely exceed your analysis. Thanks for your hard work You obviously have a knack for number crunching.
we haven't been to a meeting or jw event in several years.
we have been following the rc closely.
it is fascinating!
first off, i don't think that dude is going to show face.
he's most likely on a plane already.
if he shows it's bad pr and if he doesn't show it's bad pr.
I can't wait till he takes the stand to sanctify Jehovahs name. Once the Holy Spirit directs him to speak in a way that is obviously beyond human abilities it will finally be clear to all of you mentally diseased apostates that you have chosen sides poorly! 😂
steve2 initiated a discussion on how our former loving brothers and sisters are behaving, while engaging in the 'trolley work.
' (link: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/93590001/within-one-minute-jw-trolley-directs-me-jw-org ).
my own observations are the same as the posters report on steve2's thread.
when i was in school, you never heard about critical thinking skills...not till you started taking college level courses.. i work closely with the public education community.
now, the big rage in public education is instilling critical thinking skills from kindergarten on up.. and i'm in texas!
imagine what it's like in more liberal areas.. i would not be surprised if the watchtower started denigrating and discouraging public education (k-12).. it would likely start like this: .

i dont know how to hyperlink the link above,.
it's a link to an article by cedars on the possibility of the wt imploding?.
when the huge hypocrisy of jw.org will be fully unveiled and governments or other authorities are decided to put an end to it, what will happen in the mind of the rank and file jws ?
are they going to have a very last spiritual hard-on, sticking to their guns of so-called "truths" and "new lights" ?.

so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.
only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.
he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.
let the merging begin!!!.
to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territory.
re: fully utilizing kingdom hall auditoriums.
warning: this is rather lengthy.
i thought i would post this information that i took with me to my judicial committee.
the elders promised that we would talk about everything that was bothering me, yet, we ended up talking about less than 10% of it.
