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!.

Perhaps, a decrease of Japan started in 1997.

I guess that there are 4 reasons.

(1)Recession.

(2)Japanese came to feel distrust to religious organizations.

(3)Internet.

(4)And, they tired.

(1)Recession.

Japanese branch and zone overseers often imply that. Publishers are advised repeatedly not to work too much. However, I think that it is not an ultimate cause.

(2)Japanese came to feel distrust to religious organizations.

*** g01 5/22 p. 4 Terrorism Gets a New Look ***

March 20, 1995

Aum Shinrikyo members carry six packages onto Tokyo subway trains, releasing deadly sarin gas. Killed: 12. Injured: more than 5,000.

They did many other murders.

Japanese became careful.

(3)Internet.

Perhaps, householders searching about "Jehovah's Witnesses."

(4)And, they tired.

Japanese publishers&pioneers worked too much.

It is clear why congregations decreased. Japanese branch recommended a merge policy, in late 1990s to mid 2000s. Circuit overseer often discussion with body of elders at each visit. The problem was a rent and maintenance expense of Kingdom hall. Many Kingdom halls have been built in leased land.

I am poor at English. I am sorry. And, I had overlooked page 2-3 of this thread. ...

Zone Overseers (does anyone know the details?)

by slimboyfat in

i would like to know a bit more about zone overseers, the office and its power.

they seem to visit various branches (presumably each oversees 3 to 4 branches) to make sure everything is in order.

the famous visit of jack barr to ireland in the wake of the ray franz induced apostasy in that branch is an example of how a zone visit works.

babystar_jr

Generally dedication of branches synchronized with zone visits. Therefore, some information gathering may be possible for you if you check articles about dedication of the yearbook. Correction: Maxwell Lloyd (Australian branch committee. American branch committee member now) Günter Künz (German branch committee)

about changes of lifestories which outlines refers to

by babystar_jr in

watchtower life stories are often referred to public meeting outlines.

but, wtbts letter often directed to remove that references after that.

do you know that reason?

babystar_jr

Auldsoul, You translated my post into English well

I worked to find the accurate place of the article.

1. East Germany.

I found three candidates.

w92 4/15 26 Part I: Hermann Laube
w92 5/1 24 Part II: Helmut Martin
w92 5/15 28 Part III: Horst Schleussner

I have the memory that the photograph of the hero married couple appears to that article. It is probably Hermann Laube or Horst Schleussner. I can't confirm a photograph.

2.AIDS...
*** g89 4/22 p. 12 Something Worse Than AIDS ***
