It looks like something a lawyer would recommend. Now whether the GB will follow this advice is another story...

Perhaps, but it would mean that they would have to admit openly that they are being sued, in large numbers, over this issue, the very thing they are trying to hide from the R&F.
Hmmm...

The big jump in the number of baptisms in 2017—isn't that because of the push to baptize children? It can't be coming from real newbies, at least not in the western lands where growth is so stagnant.
If it's already gone down a bit (according to the 2018 stats), it may be because they're running out of in-house kiddies. Maybe they'll drop the age even further now to pump the the numbers up again? Infant baptism is next?

Rules & Regs,
Thanks for the analysis!
dropoff,
They just could not bring themselves to list so many zeros. After all, "that would be discouraging to the brothers."
JB,
"clearly a minus"— now that would really "discouraging to the brothers." They can't have that!

JWGB,

How many are really "return visits" now renamed "doorstep Bible Studies"?
Now THAT'S fudging the figures.

Nostromo,
Four years since your last post—welcome back. So is Stafford just using "Jah" as the divine name any more? Didn't he used to employ "Jehovah"? He seems to go off on tangents pretty regularly. Does he have his own group, or people who follow him somewhat? He uses "we" quite frequently and it seems to be more than his own family.

Thanks, Corney.
So if they do not intend to sell those two properties on Willow St., then they have some definite purpose for them. After all, they represent $1.7 million, and we all know how money hungry they are. Does anyone know why they are passing this up and keeping the properties? Do they still want to keep a presence in NYC? If so, why?
