  Differences in the German blood form in KM

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know the new blood form in the recent kingdom ministry where you state what fractions and what procedures you will accept and what you won't accept?

  well i noticed that there is a difference between the german version and the english version.

  in the english version in you get simply two options: i accept, or i reject such and such procedure.

  Publisher statistics

  by Shepherd Book in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every year for at least the last half-century, the society has published statistics on the activity of jws around the world.

  i am hoping someone here can provide me with that information, or can direct me as to where it can be found.

  specifically, i am looking for usa-specific data: usa population (the way watchtower counts it - sans alaska and hawaii), number of publishers in the usa and number baptized in the usa.

  After I left the org, I don't want to stick to any specific religion.
  As most Japanese do, I visit Shrine to make wishes on New Year's Day, follow Budism worship style at the funeral, celebrate Christman and birthday. But I am not a member of paticular religious organization.
  I don't care God really exist or not now. I want to concentrate to retrieve what I have lost.

  Hi Everyone

  2. experiences

  i have been reading here for a while but as you may of noticed the assembly games post has flushed me out!

  it has been fascinating to read all your experiences and to know that the stuff that i thought was odd, was thought odd by others as well.. two things made me leave:.

  1. i found i could not do return visits as i did not want to break up families.

  Steeza, welcome to the board.
  I am from Japan and never been to Australia (I wish I can visit some day), I felt some sense of gulit at house-to -house work and return visit. Most of the case it seems to me those households were happier than me. Now I am happier than before, being free from feeling of guilty.

  JWs in North Korea?

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't seem to find any links to the annual report released earlier this year.

  just wondering how many jws are in north korea.

  it's a very oppressive place and must be very difficult for any kind of evangelizing activity.. here's an article i found about missionaries in n. korea: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/19/international/asia/19missionary.html?ex=1292648400&en=1735f2f1e2d4ad24&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss.

  I am not sure, but I've heard once that there were no JWs in North Korea when I was active (six or more years ago).

  >You can 'jump' to the 'Blood, Medical & Depression' forum at the bottom of the page. That makes it easier than having to wade thru so many of the new posts.
  Thank you, I will watch them.
  
  I am sorry for lost of your mother. My parents and brother are still in the org, and they might face the same situation like your mother.

  Rabbit, thanks for your comment. I've read about that, and am interested in Winnipeg issue, too. Is there any update with it?
