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, I came in through the preaching work but in my 8 years in I never saw more than one person who came in as a result of the door to door work.
Also, sir82 makes a valid point about downsizing in the organization. And others have made the observation that mentally unstable people as well as lonely people make up a good percentage of the new ones. I even heard a brother admit to that back in the 70s.

"Average anual population growth is now about 1%,.. during the sixties and during the last century it never was higher than about 2%"

"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?

@ Finkelstein:
"A major part of the way theocracies are maintained and structured is the propagation and utilization of fear."
Very true. Saudi Arabia which has the death penalty for apostates comes to mind. Fear mongery embedded in their children's education from the moment they learn to talk.
I myself was told in my disfellowshipping trial that if I were in Israel I would be stoned. That's what the Witnesses would do if they had sovereign territory.

hi to anyone reading this, so i little bit about myself.
i'm 24 years old born-in, all my family are in, my father is an elder.
though i'm not fading as such i no longer believe jw.org is gods chosen organisation so you could say i'm mentally out.
Nice to have you here tamagotchi.
I know the feeling of having to suppress your emotions. I used to have anxiety attacks when out on field service. Are you planning to fade?
