  For in U.S., there are only 2 (50 hr) Aux. Pios per month per avg. cong. Worldwide, it's about 1.6 per cong. That group (50 hr) is decreasing.

  I had a couple months back then as the only reg. pio. so just my 'stats were on that chart part those couple months..ugh,, talking about intimidating,,if there was a "vacation pioneer" then our stats were combined on the chart,, Vacation Pios. had to get in 75 hours then. I reg. pio. 5 yrs.. ugh...

  Now-a-days, to see, in U.S., there is an average of 10+ reg. pios per cong. Of course, lowering their bar for requirements obviously will do that.

  Most sad/ No matter how less or more,,all, especially the youth, have been effected long term by this WTS cultism for minds that should have been "free" and individual, as made,,to pursue their freedom of mind of their unique mind and heart.

  Makes me wonder if the Zone visit wll reinforce the R & F, that even though the WTS got back their $40M (of wrongful taxation) that they will still remind the R & F to give 'more' money/donation to the WTS anyway.

  I figured they would expand this. Aux. Pio, (50 hrs) are dropping numbers extremely. I expect it will become a year round availability soon. I don't expect reg. pio. hours to drop soon though as the reg. pios. numbers increasing as it is.

  so, my mother in law who is still active went out in service with the group that had the co visit and came back with some very interesting news.

  first off, she knows that we are fading and is ok with it and has some doubts herself.

  anyhow, she said that the co went off track during the meeting before service and mentioned how we are now allowed to receive up to 33% of blood in a transfusion.

  poor JWs,, this percent, that percent,,this color, that color,, it's overwhelming,, how can they define it all,,hopefully they just all get very "medicated" to get around it,,and adapt "don't ask, don't tell" and just leave me alone!!

  I am still trying to figure this out myself too. Closest I can come to is "Bursitis of hips." Couldn't sleep on either side much!! Fish oil is helping most.. doing Krill Omega-3 now,,seems to be working at this point.

  the round of "international" conventions that started in the middle of last year in the states "wrapped" up last weekend in new zealand.

  there was some media converage (from which i derived the information that follows).

  (someone who knows how to copy links may be able to provide the relevant media links?).
