Thanks Jeffro, I had never given it much thought before. I certainly hope you are right and they do continue to publish it in the way they always have.

by alanv ini have just realized that the 2021 service report figures have in fact been published.

I have just realized that the 2021 Service Report figures have in fact been published. But they are written in such a way its harder to compare. So on the JW website, there is a tab called 'About us'. If that is clicked we see the main worldwide figures. But if we click on the individual countries shown on the same page, they show the new 2021 figures. This is a very clever move by Watchtower as it hides quite well some of the more damaging figures.
They may of course publish the figures in the way they always have, or they may keep publishing them in this way. Time will tell.

New year's predictions for watchtower.
by asp59 inwell don't know if this page has tread for new years predictions or with date it starts.
so might as well start now.
my new year's prediction for watchtower would be a big big sell out of kingdom hall's.

I think they will continue to sell some Kingdom Halls, but not too many as they are such a money spinner. They will continue to use JWs free labour to build new ones, and then the cycle starts again with big profits for Watchtower

Anyone watch Evans video on the Bethalite who left?
by mickbobcat ini don't know if he was a regular betalite but either way he left and in the interview he says some of the gb are very intelligent.
the whole thing came across to me as this guy may have just left and is still a little wonky about talking against the gb.
i don't buy from all i have seen that any of the gb are very intelligent.. [video removed].

Lloyd has 102000 subscribers for a reason. He produces the best ex JW videos on the planet. Of course he can not cover every single question that everyone would ask, but hes doing a great job.

GB 2021 Update #10 - "get vaccinated"
by neat blue dog inam the turd comes the closest to just coming right out and telling jws they have to do it.
he says, 'there's no need to worry, just keep doing what works: wear masks, wash your hands and get vaccinated when possible'.
the busybodies are going to be even more insufferable now than they have been.

Considering how many lives it has saved, its good if the organisation highly recommend it. My idiot JW elder son, has been in complete isolation since march 2020 with his wife and my grandson. The boy is 14 months old and has never been in the company of anyone else, including me.

They no longer own their Kingdom Halls, Watchtower does. And its pretty unlikely that a multi billion dollar org is running out of funds

The org say that they never pointed to a literal day or hour which is true. But they certainly said that the great tribulation was imminent and pointed to the mid seventies for that to happen. because of that there was a massive increase in members, followed by a large decrease in numbers when nothing whatsoever happened

I would have thought JWs would have realized after they have lost over 20000 members, that their god has no interest in them at all. Im pretty sure the one thing they would all be saying when they prayed was for their god to protect them and the organisation. In the end JWs death rate is three times the world average.

Do any of you ex JW`s ever feel ashamed or embarrassed to admit you were once a JW? To your now friends / associates ?
by smiddy3 ini ask this now because i have been living in this town for the past 14 years and the circle of friends i have now i have never let on i am an ex jw.. i`m talking about 30-50 people at least.. not that the subject has ever really come up , but i think they would be shocked / amazed that i was a ( i hate this word ) a "devout" jw for 32 years going around knocking on peoples doors trying to convert them to the religion .. yet every now and again i get tempted to.. how say you ?.

I often speak to new friends or relatives about my time as a JW. Its a great way of ensuring that they dont fall into the same trap as I did. Most of them are horrified when I tell them about the dark side of the religion
