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?.
insidetheKH:
"Average anual population growth is now about 1%,.. during the sixties and during the last century it never was higher than about 2%"
And why was there a 2% increase during the 1960s?
"In my congregations there are a lot of couples (pioneers en elders) that never got any children just because of that. So the birth rate among JW's is even less than the average birth rate in the world that surrounds them."
Have you heard of John and Eunice?
