  in a talk by leon weaver in 2006 he listed the number of publisher currently serving in the united states as 1,082,000. of these, 251,000 were serving in spanish language congregations.

  this is approx 25%!

  according to a us census 2005 community survey only 14.5% of us citizens were identified as latino or hispanic.

  in this thread i mentioned having a long chat with an elder last summer.

  i didn't realize i had never posted the story, so here it is.. last summer (when i went to buy my new camera lens) i ran into one of my favorite jws at the photography shop.

  he was buying a camera bag for his new dslr, and i saw him, went up and greeted him, hugged him.

  Scanned PDF of Russell's 1st Book: The Object & Manner of Our Lord's Return

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this exists as a text file in a couple of different editions, but as far as i know it's never been posted as a scanned image of the original printed edition.

  it's from a copy of a photocopy, so the clarity is not perfect but it's plenty readable.

  kudos also to a fellow jwder who helped me get the ocr to work better.

  Confidential Body of Elder Letters from 1981 through 2006

  by Elsewhere in

  here it is guys.

  this is what darth frosty was talking about in his post the other day (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/149460/1.ashx).

  this is a collection of confidential letters from the watchtower society that were sent to the bodies of elders in the years 1981 through 2006. these are the letters that you were never meant to see or read.. there's all sorts of information in them ranging from the boring and mundian to instructions about how to handle child molesters.. many thanks to darth frosty and others (who i'm not sure can be named) who worked very hard and took risks to collect and scan the information.
