I agree with you Mary.....fully....and any JW who seems to use this as more ammo, they need to be pointed to silentlambs to realize that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Anyone who rapes a child, regardless of faith or lack thereof is totally disgusting.....

Watchtower org. is dead it just hasn't fallen over yet!

it's amazingly simple, for thoughtful, and litterate people to see that the watchtower organization is in a state of free fall.

it's never been easier to "connect the dots" suggesting the trouble the watchtower org.

the watchtower is dead, it just hasn't fallen over yet.

decline will be slow for quite awhile, mainly from deaths. I say this because the decline will be used to declare that the end is imminent and Satan is busier than ever dragging JW's out of "the truth."

Interesting observation OTWO, and I could see that happening, but I feel they will first get the peak at seven million so they can celebrate how wonderful the growth is with Jehovah's organization.

The only thing that seems to be keeping the numbers from being abysmal in the US seems to be the non-English speaking congregations, if not I feel the numbers would look more like Japan, but it is amazing how 'God's Organization' is selling buildings, eliminating publications, consolidating Kingdom Halls and just seems to be contracting.....

Interesting comparison WTW, that is so true, in the bible people are accepted for who they are, they do not need to meet manmade/GB standards.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't he sort of the 'leader of the pack' within the current GB???? The only members of the GB I ever hear folks on this board discussing are Losch and Jaracz.

10 Years Japan losses 5,400 Publishers and 638 Kingdom Halls! Why?

by Witness 007 in

japan had a handful of witnesses after ww 2....this number skyrocketed to 222,912 by 1998!

then something happened.

publisher figures didn't stop, they dropped by thousands over the next decade!.

insearchoftruth

I would imagine the reason why our numbers haven't fallen off like Japan's is because of the large growth in the immigrant community.

Is there any way to see the growth broken out by english and non-english speaking congos....probably not.

How quickly will this information get passed to the local congregations, if at all?

I ask because I am wondering if the study sister and her husband will know????
