  PHILIPPINES - "December 15, 2017 letter Re: 2017 Service Year Report" - with local numbers and highlights

  the previously posted wt letter of december 15, 2017 "re: 2017 service year report" was for the us congregations.. as expected the second (and third) paragraphs of the letter are being re-written to feature highlights in the local field to the congregations that it is addressed to.... hence below is what i understand to be the highlighted figures in the letter that is being sent and read out (in the first week of january 2018) to congregations in the philippines.. i believe that the philippines is traditionally one of the wt's *star performers* in terms of growth (*cough*cough* if you exclude the 1975-fallout) .

  (previous year's figures in brackets) .

  peak publishers: 210,914 (209,131).

  How many anointed have come and gone; how many remain?

  by Moster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just wondering if there is any data about how many anointed there were in say 1914, and considering most would have passed 'beyond the veil' already, are the jw's numbers adding up?

  we know there are more in 2017 then there were in 2016, but just where are we in the grand total column?.

  i have no contact from my daughter, and younger son. never met their children, know nothing about them.

  dont even know where son lives--no way of contacting him.

  daughter lives a few miles away, might as well be on the dark side of the moon.

  their mother--my first wife has no contact with our older son--who was d/f a few years back. ( i do--spending boxing day with him )

  so--yeah. lives ruined thanks to the watchtower cult.

  i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

  i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?

  i've already found several by reading older posts..

  2. beliefs

  i have noted that the irritable part of me got the better of me when posting about j f rutherford.

  i acknowledge that a few on here have pointed out flaws in my reasoning and the way i reason.

  and i agree with them.

  Things You Still Agree With The JWs On

  by Fred Franztone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  aside from obvious things that most people agree on, like theft being wrong and the importance of family, i can't think of a single thing i agree with the jws on, nothing that's specific to their religion anyway.

  do you have any?.
