Youtube has a video entitled, ''Discussion: The Governing Body Asks For Younger Elders''

A young Stephen Lett ( without the rubbery face, in his New York City office ) talking about quality, over quantity when it comes to the Jehovah's Witness membership. ( We don't need stinking high numbers, we just need productive field service volunteers)

He says,'' Sure, you can relax the standard and you can perhaps attract more people, but Jehovah has never been primarily interested in numbers?"

That announcement referred to “ exceptional ministerial servants “. How do they judge exception? By pioneer hours ? We know that means nothing...

So, what has changed Governing Body?

Long discussion on this topic here:

That was a great thread! I like your comment:

Coming soon: You too can get marital advice, counsel on raising children, and direction concerning your lack of appreciation for spiritual matters from Joe Elderson, who has never kissed a girl, who was homeschooled since the age of 6, who is still living with his parents in the same house, heck, same bedroom he's always had, who still has acne breakouts and who was not yet born during the Clinton presidency.

The Governing Body are always changing Bible procedures. Since few young brothers are reaching out as pioneers and ministerial servants, not attending School for Kingdom Evangelizers, not serving at Bethel and assisting in Kingdom Hall construction, they are in urgent need for elders.

They admit that these young men ( early to mid 20's ) are young in years. But since, there is a shortage of elders, exceptional ministerial servants now can become elders in the congregations. Now you can become an elder while still living with your parents, never dated or been married, have not been challenged with responsibilities in your young life.

The Watchtower Society will update the Shepherd book just like they updated Titus 1: 5-9

5 I left you in Crete so that you would correct the things that were defective and make appointments of elders in city after city, as I instructed you: 6 if there is any man free from accusation, a husband of one wife, having believing children who are not accused of debauchery* or rebelliousness.+ 7 For as God’s steward, an overseer must be free from accusation, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy of dishonest gain, 8 but hospitable,+ a lover of goodness, sound in mind,*+ righteous, loyal,+ self-controlled,+ 9 holding firmly to the faithful word* as respects his art of teaching,+ so that he may be able both to encourage by the teaching that is wholesome and to reprove those who contradict.

The Watchtower Society will update the Shepherd book just like they updated 1 Timothy 3:1-6

3 This statement is trustworthy: If a man is reaching out to be an overseer, he is desirous of a fine work. 2 The overseer should therefore be irreprehensible, a husband of one wife, moderate in habits, sound in mind,*+ orderly, hospitable,+ qualified to teach,+ 3 not a drunkard,+ not violent,* but reasonable,+ not quarrelsome, not a lover of money, a man presiding over his own household in a fine manner, having his children in subjection with all seriousness+ 5 (for if any man does not know how to preside over* his own household, how will he care for the congregation of God?), 6 not a newly converted man,+ for fear that he might get puffed up with pride and fall into the judgment passed on the Devil.

In the early '70's, shortly before 1975 (the big day was supposed to come), Watchtower was expanding its New York facilities. They purchased the Squibb Building, raising a red flag in the eyes of many. No excuses were offered except that it was "Jehovah's will.

https://www.syracuse.com/state/2015/12/jehovahs_witnesses_could_get_1_billion_for_nyc_properties.html

The Witnesses bought their 733,000-square-foot headquarters from Squibb Pharmaceuticals for $3 million in 1969. It was placed on the market this month along with a nearby apartment building and a 135,000-square-foot lot. Despite the prominent "Watchtower" sign, the building has no historical designations that would place restrictions on the buyer.

There's big money in real estate, apparently even after Armageddon

The final large property to sell was the former Squibb plant, adorned with the Watchtower sign. With the final move of 800+ Jehovah’s Witnesses residents and staffers to Warwick imminent, the sale closed in 2017 for $340 million. While the organization still holds a few smaller properties and garages in the area, a few of which have sold since, the sale of the Squibb building served as the final goodbye to Brooklyn.

In the 10 years from 2011 to 2020 there were 2,721,457 baptisms, yet the increase in average publishers was only 1,199,255. This shows 1,522,202 stopped publishing. Even accounting for the average death rate, over 1 million Witnesses left in a 10 year period.

2021 Governing Body Update #10

Help inactive ones: Anthony Morris wants to help inactive ones return to Jehovah. How can each congregation member do their part? Call inactive ones by phone, send letters and text them during this pandemic!

He goes on to say that many inactive have begun associating with us again during the pandemic. Some inactive ones who haven't returned are praying to Jehovah to ''search for me.'' Mr. Morris reads Psalm 119:176... I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.

I think Anthony Morris and the Governing Body just want to drum up the preaching work, since there is no house to house field service. What a great way to excite members, telling them that inactive are coming back to zoom meetings. Mr. Morris even suggests that the inactive ones are even praying to Jehovah, because they are lost sheep and haven't forgotten what it means to serve Jehovah. One Circuit Overseer in the United States reported that 76 individuals in his circuit have been re-activated.

If you are inactive like myself, expect a phone call, a letter or a text from a Jehovah's Witness family member or friend. They will be calling, not out of concern for your well being, but they will be calling because Mr. Anthony Morris said so in his 2021 Governing Body update!

I think that line C is actually showing 1,451,217,000. Was this after they had sold off all/most of the Brooklyn properties?

You are correct TonusOH! That should of read : 1 billion, 451 million, 217 thousand.

The massive increase of $776,095,300 in Watchtower wealth between 2013 and 2015 is accounted for by the sales of extremely valuable Watchtower real estate in New York. The sprawling Watchtower facility located at 25-30 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn sold for a whopping $340 million in cash in 2016.

The Watchtower sold its six building facility in DUMBO for $375 million. The 2017 sale of the Watchtower’s eleven story building located at 107 Columbia Heights fetched $87.5 million dollars.
