So true. Totally agree with the one third figure. It can easily be seen by anyone who reads the latest Watchtower annual report. That means by Watchtowers own figures, God is about to destroy 2,500,000,000 who have never even heard the JW message.

The Results Are In: On average, for the past 90 years, 1/3 of the world has been banned
by ILoveTTATT2 inso using some amazing features of excel and the starting data here, i managed to get the average, the maximum, and the minimum percentage of the inhabited landmass of the earth where jehovah's witnesses have been either active (reported) or "not banned".the average is 66.10%!!
that means that for 90 years, ever since there is data, 1/3 of the world's area has not been preached in or been fully able to preach in!the minimum occurred in 1943, when only 26.77% of the world's inhabited area made a full yearly report and/or wasn't banned.the maximum occurred in 1991 because the yearbook said that the ussr was included.
the maximum was 82.47%.

They seem to be leaving it as long as possible for some reason. After all, they are only waiting for the report to complete the book. The majority of the Yearbook can be prepared in the summer.

I was going to say we can check the 2016 service report when it is published to see if there are less congregations now in UK. But of course it is the Kingdom Halls that are closing not the actual number of congregations -

Knock knock."Who's there? Two elders!!
by Darkknight757 inso today was a cold and snowy day in my neck of the woods and the wife and i were just chilling around the house waiting to go to the church tonight for a candle lighting service when lo and behold we get a knock on the door.
yup, 2 elders from my old hall.
i figured they were fishing for some time so i invited them in and gave them some coffee and we talked about everything that happened and why we walk away from the jw's.

I believe their understanding is that the sun was created in the first opening statement. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. At that time the suns rays could not fully be on the earth because of the water canopy round the earth.

JWs have always targeted the vulnerable in society. They see this as an easy way to increase the JW membership.

The uptake...
by Thisismein1972 inwith recent events pointing at watchtower growth, i felt compelled to say a few words.. if the figures turn out to be true, then we should not be discouraged.
after 9/11 there was a surge in, not only the watchtower, but other demonisation of organised religion.
whenever there is a a paradigm shifting event that puts fear into others, this tends to have a life changing affect on an individual.. now let us zoom to the present.

The whole of Europe last year managed just 0.25% growth. Pathetic.

Yes me too. The figure so far is heading toward $600,000 than the Watchtower have to pay as fine for doing nothing in this case. Would be nice to get an update from somebody.
