The Court gave this kind of extra stretch for WTS last time. So would seem Candace Conti can do the same. Anyway, the interest is accruing the longer this case drags out. I suspect this "Appeals" part could go till the end of this year at least?

were friendships in other congregations discouraged?
by hoser ini had a good friend with a lot of common interests but he was in a congregation about 40 miles away.
we did a lot together with both of our families.
until we had a local needs part about association with ones not in our own congregation.

another sad rule for the youth. Many congregations do not have much of a selection within.

I think I am older than all of you, certainly the most. So I don't look forward to 2034. I don't dare hope for so much but I am blissfully happy to hear at least most youth are leaving. I am happy to see Internet with sites galore exposing the WTS and hearing of the 'drain' happening, and baptisms decreasing. I do hope to watch its decline as long as I live. I stand back and enjoying the fragmentation of the WTS like this:

from Missoula Independent News:
http://missoulanews.bigskypress.com/missoula/the-door-knockers/Content?oid=1864206
room to follow up for your comments if you wish.
Just before noon, 20 boys and girls, seemingly between the ages of 12 and 16, and three adults baptized
That's .4% ratio to attendance. 86% were their youth.

thank you, problemaddict, I should have asked you at the time, but certainly appreciate you verifying it was you.
I hope to utilize this thread for any of these reports. Any willing to report here, would appreciate. If you want me to report it, because of anonymous concerns, please PM me.
When the WTS is claiming publishers are increasing (lowering their bar requirement), yet clearly baptisms decreasing, something is happening negatively for them.

One poster here informed me on my PM: I believe it was just over 180 (that combines both english and spanish. Attendance was a combined 26K on friday to 34K on sunday. This was of convention in San Diego. Believe it or not the attendance and the baptisms were split almost down the middle (I didn't ask permission to use his name)
Dividing 180 by 34,000 - .5% (this is still a low percentage).
