  @JWdaughter... downsizing?  The number of Bethelites is increasing every year
  

  
  

  2009 - 19,829 persons staffing branch facilities

  2014 - 24,711 persons staffing branch facilities

  More than 20% increase of staff members over a period of 5 years

  @stuck obviously your plan backfired... but what else did you expect?

  
  

  Of course they like this video since it shows the brothers and sisters that work for them 24/7 being happy.

  Happiness is the Truth...... if i were single, without children and a bit younger i would want to join them too @Bethel after seeing such a video

  What will JW.org / Watchtower be like in 15 years?

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  over the past few days i've been reading and watching bill and melinda gates speak about their plans for a better world by 2030. they bet that due to technology and the compassion of people the world should improve more in the next 15 years than it has in all of history.

  specifically lower child mortality rate, eradication of polio and guinea worm among other diseases, improvement of standards of living, greater access to education etc.. i'm a realist, so i'm not looking for miracles, but i believe most of these things are possible given the level of success they have reaped in other endeavors, and naturally emerging tech being used to make some of these projections possible.. you can see that the world is actually improving in many areas if you seek out the good news stories and statistics and look beyond the watchtower friendly fear porn about terrorism, and potential dangers from culturally diverse nations around the globe.

  for instance 2014 had the lowest fatal airline accident rate in history despite the hyping of the ill fated malaysian airlines crashes.

  Question: What will JW.org / Watchtower be like in 15 years?

  
  

  Answer: At that time it will be one of the few (if not the only) religion with an international presence and unity in teachings.

  
  

  In my country Roman Catholicism is shrinking so fast that the catholic church itself predicts that in 2028 there will be more JW's than catholic churchgoers. The same is happening with the protestant denominations

  What is the main reason the Watchtower Society baptize their children so young?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus was thirty was he was baptized.

  today, you hear of young children getting baptized as young as 10 years old.

  the parents, family and congregation think it's a wonderful idea that someone dedicates their life to jehovah at such a young age.

  @Rules you forget that at the time that Jesus walked the earth John the Baptist just started with baptising people.

  
  

  furthermore billions of people (in other denominations that consider themselves christian) are baptised right after they are born
  

  
  

  Anyway the main reason is,... WHY NOT baptise Teens?  We let them make career and education choices that influence them the rest of their lifes at that age so why not the choice to serve Jehovah?

  
  

  there are  biblical examples of young people who make a stand for Jehovah,.. Samuel did, David did,.. Jesus did, to name a few

  Asking for confirmation: Bethel factory in Germany

  by bats in the belfry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in january 2015 my devout and longtime 'in the truth' jw relatives (50+ years) went to the german bethel factory in selters.

  they were shocked seeing an near empty factory floor and were told that some printing presses supposedly have been sold to 'worldy' companies.i got to hear the stunning admission out of their mouths: "we left with the impression they are closing up shop".just whoa!

  to me it sounds like a firesale - "because everything must go" (die hard iv).. has anyone else seen the factory in that condition?

  all they want is some spiritually-qualified publishers blind individuals who believe they are god's mouthpiece on earth.

  no wonder their artwork is so poor.. .

  a same kind of request was done recently by a european branch office for people with ICT skills like programmers, web designers, software engineers etc etc since much of JW.ORG is and will be done in Europe and less in the U.S.

  the local branch will expand its ICT office space and workforce drastically

  Fudging the Numbers: Is the WTBTS in decline?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it's no secret that the wtbts has a cash flow problem.

  over the past three years they have closed 20 of their 116 branches.

  they have sold off most of their properties in and around ny (including some kingdom halls), drastically reduced the # of printed pages for the watchtower and awake magazines, reduced the printing of books and other materials, increased the number of single page tract campagnes, installed cc machines at their assembly halls, and are now seizing of controll of property assets from local kingdom halls using renovation projects.
