  Just Released:2014 Worldwide Service Year Report of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by steve2 in

  in the last day or so, the 2015 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses has been available on jw.org.

  broadly speaking, results are pretty ho-hum - except to note a huge increase in memorial attendances for 2014, but still shy of 20 million.

  this is a big increase over the previous all-time-high year of 2011 by several hundred thousand.

  Based on the latest data from the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, Japan's population will keep declining by about one million people every year in the coming decades, which will leave Japan with a population of 86 million in 2060.[5] By that time, more than 40% of the population is expected to be over age 65.[6] In 2012, the population had for six consecutive years declined by 212,000, the largest drop on record since 1947 and also a record low of 1.03 million births.[7] In 2014, a new record of population drop happened with 268,000 people.[8] In 2013, more than 20 percent of the population are age 65 and over.[9]

  @banana what are you trying to tell me?

  
  

  the population of Japan is shrinking rapidly (since 2007) and so is the number of JW's since the group is a reflection of the demographics seen in society

  
  

  see this chart that shows the decline of the japanese population and future projection

  @Billy Cuba a large decrease? a decrease of 64 publishers on a total of more than 95,000 is less than 0,08 percent

  the decrease of poland is because people from that country migrate to other european countries in large numbers.

  
  

  The Japanese decrease simply has to do with demographic causes the population of Japan is shrinking rapidly since 2007. The number of Jehovahs witnesses is decreasing there because they are, as any other group, a reflection of their society.

  
  

  The majority of japanese people are aging now.

  
  

  see here the development of the total population of Japan and future projection

  Is Watchtower's stance against education only for North American witnesses

  by wannaexit in

  2. friends

  i was reading on a european ex jw forum where some feel that watchtower's railing against higher education is primarily for north america issue.

  this is due that many in usa and canada leave home to leave on campus.

  it was mentioned that many young european jw attend universities and its not frowned on.. i found this odd because i heard what morris and losch said about education in italy.

  @Chaserious i was talking about long term planning. In my country it has been like that for the last 3 decades.. people need higher education here in order to get a decent job.

  Educational systems and job opportunities differ per country. So local circumstances play a role in the decisions whether  it is wise to follow higher education or not.

  For example in europe there are no job offers in the building and construction business, since they have a real estate crisis since 2008. In some countries there are no job offers for low skilled people.

  In the country where i live a lot of the JW's go to universities or other forms of higher education

  Congregation that have sent in money!

  by DwainBowman in

  in the past week, i have heard from a number of friends scattered all over the place.

  a number of them are very upset over the congregation being required, to send in all monies over $4,000.

  a number of these were kh's that were saving to buy land, and or build new kh's.

  @DOC if you have these arangements in black and white on paper .

  
  

  By the way. In our KHall certain people (those who made large donations for a local project) were asked last year if they were ok with transferring the money to Brooklyn.

  None of them objected.
