  by CharlieSmith1975 in

  the tricky thing about a mass mailing to all the kingdom halls is that mail is often not delivered to the kingdom hall but to a po box.

  it is super easy to get all the addresses to hundreds of kingdom halls across the country and even have those addresses printed out for you as labels!

  but when i did that before i got about a third of them back.

  simons critcal fact = defendants assigned candace to perform field service with kendrick.

  martinez testified that she saw candace and kendrick in field service together.

  was candace ever assigned to anyone else?

  @wannaexit not true.

  First of all most publishers make appointments to work with eachother before the field service meeting. Second people are asked if they would like to work together. 3rd children are with their parents unless their parents and the child make an appointment with another person ahead of the field service meeting. In such a case parents agreed to let their child work with another adult.

  Is the preaching work, no longer the number 1 priority?

  i have been observing a pattern in recent wtbs publications and events.

  is the importance of the preaching activity no longer the number 1 priority?

  are not billions of lives still at stake?.

  " overseeing material assets " is the # 1 priority for the WT Society and GB now. Preaching is WAY down low on the list of priorities.

  sigh...What did you expect... on a meeting that is entirely about material assets, building and maintenance?

  my last comment for today

  It seems that you're saying that JW growth rate (baptisms) is greater than JW birth rate, and that therefore, there must be JW recruits from outside JWdom. In other words, it seems that you're saying that if, for example, JW growth (baptisms) is 1.5%, and birth rate among JWs is only 1%, that some of those baptized must be coming from the outside due to the preaching work. If that's what you're saying, then your argument is flawed for several reasons.

  birthrate about 1.5% death rate 0.8% df'd/da'd/inactive about 0.4%

  so if you look only at the birth rate and death/df'd rate you will see that there will be (from births) a net annual growth of 0.3% left

  but instead of that the actual annual growth is between 2 and 2.5%
  

  So the question is who are those people that represent between 1.7% and 2.2% ? I agree that a part of them can be other kind of family members (which in my opinion still fall under the witnessing/preaching work) but still a large part of the growth must come from outsiders.

  @magnum i understand what you mean but i consider other family connections not as born ins and so also result of witnessing/preaching work

  @data dog

  No,

  we are talking about facts! JW's are humans not rabbits
  

  average human death rates and birth rates are known

  the actual growth of average no. of publishers between 2004 and 2014 is also known, like i said 1.9 million

  you can do the math.

  @village i became a witness myself in 2009 through door to door work. One older lady (56 years old), a cathloic, became a biblestudent because of my witnessing work, she is attending weekly meetings and actively participating in the WT study and is making progress towards baptism.

  She was one of those on my monthly magazine route. The first time that i visited her was in the summer of 2013. At that time she was very opposed to JW's and her house was litterally full of Maria and Saint statues. She had drawers full of icons and rosaries.

  Every time i was patient and friendly and we had a short conversation. After twelve months or so she became more receptive. i often asked her about her catholic services and sermons. And asked her if she would be interested to hear a public talk on mp3.

  She said yes. She was impressed by the public talk. The subject was honesty. She said... 'It was really about the bible!' and decided to type the whole talk on her laptop. Not long after that she agreed to visit a KH once. She was amazed how she was welcomed by everyone and how much the bible was used during the talk and that all people were really reading and studying and that even youngsters and kids were participating and that everyone knew eachothers names. And there was no one asking for money
  

  few months later she had thrown all the maria/holy stuff out.... removed the icons from the frames and replaced with family pictures and wrote herself out of the catholic administration.

  Now she is coming every sunday , is a weekly biblestudent. Another married couple (both members of an evangelical church) are bible students. I also met them through door to door work. And a younger man is studying with me but i met him through informal witnessing
