  I think having video talks from headquarters will strike guests at the KH as very cult-like behavior.

  Perhaps the groups that Oppostate mentioned is really large and isn't donating as much?

  If they use video more at the local meetings they will need fewer shepherds to spread the parts around. That should work well with fewer brothers reaching out.

  Yes. I know from personal experience. But, they aren't very good at the door. Well, that is for GB 1.0 anyway. Not sure about the new kids on the block.

  Canada Branch Finances - What's Going On?

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an update on the canada branch hasn't been made (i think).. year-over-year, canada's equity decreased by 11 million in 2012, 17 million in 2013.. however, the 2014 report shows a huge increase (20 million) in the cost of "purchased supplies.

  " with the shrinkage of the mags, and the push to online, how the heck did this go from 39 million to 58 million?.

  even with this number, the equity in 2014 went down by a staggering 56 million.. what the heck is going on?.

  So Brooklyn (Warwick) is not only taking all the US congregations money but also the foreign branches as well...

  Their new push into slickly produced videos and fancy graphics better pay off big time if they are going to recoup their investment.

  I hope my wife hears an experience similar to this at her RC. Just maybe it will remind her of the scientology movie we watched.

  The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.

  the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

  A lot of teens don't really want to be associated with a group that is considered weird and made fun of by the mainstream. When the witness teens run into that sort of information online it must be embarrassing at first and hopefully eye opening in the end.

  Splash, the announcement of the speaker's rank started years ago. It's all about understanding how important the speaker is and how you can do more to be important too.
