I just read the Dec 15th letter to the uk congregations. What a joke. They grab at whatever they can to show increase. Like the number of hours. Its so much easier now for witnesses to get their hours in. Just sit by a cart and play with your phone for a few hours. Likewise its the same for pioneers. Its so easy to be one now, compared with a few years ago. What they didnt say was that there was and has been hardly any increase in the average number of publishers for several years, same with baptisms, same with memorial attendance.

Yet the dubs will just go by what they are told, and think there is some amazing increase, and that Jehoover is surely blessing them lol

Printed vs Produced

by Rattigan350 in

in the january 1, 2015 watchtower it says printing each issue 52,946,000 in 228 languages semimonthly.

in that 2016 #1 issue watchtower it says produced each issue 58,987,000 in 254 languages monthly.

what is the difference between printed and produced?.

alanv

The main thing to remember is that the society is producing much, much less spiritual food for the sheep these days

2018 Service Year Report - Released on jw.org

by Drearyweather in

2018 service year report of jehovah’s witnesses worldwide.

see details of the global preaching work of jehovah’s witnesses from september 2017 to august 2018.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/2018-service-year-report/.

average publishers preaching each month: 8,360,594 (2017 - 8,248,982).

alanv

Ok I think I understand the report now. So although they present peak publishers in the report, the actual increase is based on the average publishers per country. That explains the figures from Britain. Peak publishers 2017 is 137468, Peak Publishers 2018 is 139783. So although this is a 1.7% increase, the actual increase they have published is based on the average publishers that are not shown to us. So average for Britain is shown as 0% increase in 2018.

Tag teams of Cart Sitters

by days of future passed in

one sunday, we took our dad out for lunch.

since it didn't open till 12:00, we were going to have to kill time.

this restaurant is situated with other businesses around a small park and when we parked, we noticed there was a cart to the right in the park.

alanv

There is no doubt the JWs love this new way of ''preaching'' What is better than sitting in the park on a nice summer day, texting or viewing things on your phone or tablet, and chatting to your partner about anything. If anyone does come up to you, all you need to do is hand them some free literature and point to jwdotorg.

Why is the watchtower tight fisted

by pepperheart in

why when i can get many books and magazines sent through the post from many other cults does the watchtower make a big fuss about a little 16 page magazine.

alanv

I think to be fare to them, most free magazines have adverts to help pay for them. Watchtower dont do that.

Possible leak from Annual Meeting 2018

by Listener in

i'm a member on jw talk (until now at least) and have been regularly checking up on their thread regarding the annual meeting.

there hasn't been a great deal to report on except for this recent post that has been made.

i may get outed but that's no loss.

alanv

It made me laugh when they said a little while back, its best to explain prophesy after it has happened. That way of course they can say what has actually happened and fit a scripture around it

kingdom halls

by pepperheart in

do you think the watchtower will sell off any more kingdom hall after the 3,000 have been sold of and why do you think that.

alanv

From a business point of view,it makes total sense for them to sell of some halls. After all they are only used for a few hours each week,if there is only one congregation using the hall. So they are now getting more congs to use the same hall. Of course this shows no regard whatsoever in making witnesses travel a lot further to attend their meetings
