Personally I think the figures published are truthful. Remember every branch sends in the figures to head office, so if the published figures were regularly different to what had been sent in, a lot of rank and file witnesses at the branch would know about it. Many of the figures are showing a negative amount. It is happening where we would expect it to happen, namely in internet savvy countries. Also it makes sense that poorer less educated people with limited access to the net will still be growing. That is what is happening.

Iwantoutnow,
Its true the JWs can barely get an increase above the population rate, but actually they are still attracting people to get baptised. It was the highest for a long time this year. However their, big,big problem is they cant keep those people. So the result is, many come in threw the front door, but nearly the same amount leave by the back door. This is why they have just a 1.3% increase this year.

It doesnt seem to bother Watchtower that the figure is going up. They already said many of those are not truly anointed ones

Not at all sad for ex JWs. Its all great news to see the religion slowly dying and allowing more people to lead there own successful lives. Certainly amazing though about the USA figures

I walked away from the org years ago (faded), but they still miss my house out when they are working the road. I have never asked them not to call, but they are afraid of hearing something about the org that might be against what they are taught.

Most things they have no trouble with. JWs are well used to old light and new light. So if you find something in 1980 that was wrong, they will simply say that is old light and they understand it better now. So its much better to point out things that are wrong right now, and that the org have not corrected.

New baptism contract
by resolute Bandicoot inhi all, a little while back we had a thread on the topic a new baptism contract, specifically question two, in that the "in association with gods spirit directed organisation" has been dropped.
we had two circuit level baptisms in australia since the story started getting around where the old wording was still being used and i was starting to think that it was just a rumor.. the melbourne international convention this passed weekend used the new contract, in which the claim of spirit direction is rolled back.
i would share here if i could post a mp3 file.. what will be next 1914 swept under the carpet?.

They say whatever they need to, so as to keep going and keep members. Very often they will say one thing and then when it suits them say the very opposite.

Melbourne Convention Protest
by jonahstourguide inhi all.. i didn't want to post this in private because i want all to see what i saw.. the protest at the melbourne convention went superbly in my opinion.
the protesters and their banners were more than eloquent and succinct.
you could feel the emotion they all conveyed.

This is the first I have heard about this. Wish I had been there. Ive never been to a convention where there were dissenting voices. Must have been amazing. I love the fact they had attendants guarding the platform lol

Crazyguy, to be faie to Watchtower, they not only show countries with growth, but they also show the ones with no growth, plus the ones with minus growth. 1.2% is hardly real growth its just slightly higher than the world population increase
Kingdom halls are indeed being closed and sold, but they are also building new ones in Africa and South America. Those countries cant afford nice looking Kingdom Halls, so money probably comes from donations from the richer countries where the halls have been sold.
I hate the cult, but just wanted to make those few points.
