Kairos here is the graph for the number that stopped publishing; that is, the difference between the number baptised and the increase in average publishers. Whilst the number was exactly 106,000, to be fair the number that died needs to be factored in, taking the amount that leave to 80,000.

One of my favourite graphs regards the declining conversion rate.
This must be what concerns the Governing Body most. This has dropped dramatically, with the Annual Number Baptised compared to Average Monthly Studies falling from a high of around 1 in 5 (22%) prior to 1975, to now a mere 1 in 33 (3%). During the 1980's and 1990's the conversion rate was consistently around 8%. This has steadily declined to less than 3% in 2014. (Please note that this is a comparative rate, not an exact one, as it is based on "average monthly Bible studies", and some Bible Studies may extend for years, whilst others for less than one year.)
Whilst the number of baptisms rises with the number of publishers, the number getting baptised each year is actually less than its peak in the 1990s.

a currently active jdub acquaintance occasionally stops by to say hello and we share a wee dram or two.
after the general small talk of new cars, exotic vacations and sports we often get into the "why" we are xjubs.
he is a well educated publisher who holds a phd in child psychology.
Seriously, almost everything has a pagan origin.
There is a list of a few pagan things that JWs can and cannot do at jwfacts.com/watchtower/quotes/pagan-practices.php.
i looked up the estimated revenue of jw.org using http://www.siteworthtraffic.com/ and was shocked at the results.
not only are they saving money on printing psychical books/magazines, but they're also making a tidy sum romtheir "free" website created and maintained by volunteers.
i spoke with a jw recently who was very proud to tell me just how good their website was and that they provided it free of charge.
Google don't pay money for when a site appears in their search results. The opposite in fact, as some of the first results and side results appear there because people pay them money for the spot. They only pay money if you place their ads on your site and then people click on the ad.
JW.org gets a huge amount of visitors, since all JWs are encouraged to visit it on a regular basis to download literature etc, a captive audience of 7 million people. That saves them the money of printing excessive literature, but it does not make them money. They also hope it will generate new forms of marketing leading to conversions, but that does not seem to have played out in any significant manner.

I think that site estimates money that could be made from that number of page views if they were running ads. Since they are not they are not receiving that sort of revenue.
I ran a report from siteworth for jwfacts.com and the results were vastly different from how many users I receive or the revenue I get from Adwords, so I don't know how they are generating their statistics.
1) science and technology appeared as a savior to mankind, yet the overall result points to the opposite direction.. http://aeon.co/magazine/science/why-has-human-progress-ground-to-a-halt/.
2) john kerry warns of catastrophe if climate change is not tackled.

Science and technology appeared as a savior to mankind,
What does that even mean?

If you at going to pay out science then I hope you don't tak advantage of doctors, medicine, cars or public transport, computers and the Internet, otherwise you are a hypocrite.
i live in the usa and want to ship my game consoles (xbox, playstation, wi, ect), laptop, and other items to my wife's family in the philippines.
i've used a company locally that ships there at a fix price of $90 per box.
so whatever i fit in the box will ship at that rate regardless of weight.
My wife sends a fixed rate box over on a regular basis, including a PS3 and we've never had anything stolen.
i went to the mall recently .....omg!
glad i don't have to go through all the craziness over christmas shopping..
Christmas is amazing and the best time of the year. My son's joy is abundant proof of how much I and other JWs missed out. It only is as materialistic as you allow it to be.
