That is quite a hit. It had sold a few ago for $100M but that fell through. Now the WTS only got $81M. Such timing.
Where did all that $81M go already the way they are yet always asking for more donations?
i just received this in typical jw email forward fashion from a family member.
subject: year field service report.
this morning at morning worship, they gave some figures from the 2012 service year.
WIKI states global population increase last year was 1.1%. So since China hardly has JWs, which is 20% of world pop. (at pop. increase of .47%). ,, take away that percentage, then elsewhere the world pop. would be a little higher (??),,so, plenty close to any WT percentage increase claim.

thx, CO,,
well, about avg pubs; increase actually 1.9%;but last year their claim was 2.4% increase; so increase% is definitely less.
also, 'peak' pubs increase then is 1.6%,,last year their claim peak was 2.1%,,so actually increase % is less.
also, to correct their reg. pio. % increase is 2.8%, not 6.2%. (last years avg pio was 895,844).
It will be interesting to get the U.S. figures and individual countries in the next month.
Again, thanks for this info.
I know one that was in his 70s,,so it's possible.

Where's the usual "Highlights" square? No highlights anymore? Hghlights showed some increase in something somewhere?
david turned 18 yesterday.
(he is the one who walked from orlando, fl to washington, dc a little over 3 years ago on behalf of homeless children) i wrote about that on the forum back then.
what i didn't write about is that david has grown up without a father....not because he doesn't exist, but because his father has chosen to live his life of drugs and violence.
wow, a young man of pure strength,, has good genes from his mother and grandparent!!
So many best wishes!
Thank you all for ongoing updates and evaluations on this case.

5 that privilege became part of our.
they never have "new light",, only, second or third etc,, and forever "second guesses."
And then everyone is expected to follow, and never disagree with the WT leadership with 'total uncertainty.'
i just came back from the meeting .although the local announcements have been abolished recently as an item for the second part , an elder came on the platform to announce that the society needs more money and there is a letter on the noticeboard for all the congragation to read to this effect.
although the announcement was read half heartedly (this elder's daughter is an apostate ,it looks like he knows what's going on) the implictions are dramatic .
the society in brief,requests any brother or sister with funds sitting on personal accounts to loan them to the society ,he didn't go into any specifics but i will take a picture of the letter next time and make it available here .. i'm not amazed that they're asking for money ,i thought it will happen sooner or later .what i'm amazed is that 99% of the congragation are oblivious to the financial crisis that the society finds itself these days and the reasons why .i can see the future now .the watchtower will be the fist part of the babylon the great to go down in a blaze of scandals and financial troubles !.
wht is the date of the letter,,,sems there was recent letter out already noted on this site
as a teenage jw, i grew up believing that i was not going to finish high school nor would i get old and have to die like my grandparents did.
well, i did finish high school, as did my children and my grandchildren and old age has not been kind to me.
i don't like to look at pictures from 40 years ago, from a time when i was healthy and i had the goal of "stay alive till 75.
Living a life of realistic phases is still better than living in a world of being unrealistic as the JW world does. The JWs put off embracing 'this' life fully, always waiting for their "la-la world." JWs as they age, have to face their eventuality also, though never admitting any error of belief.
