  thank you antes,, I hope this thread can continue for baptism reporting at these 2015 RCs. Seems with some other RCs reported this summer, that baptisms are very low.

  I am wondering about baptisms, are there also "re-baptisms?" Seems there could be a number of young ones baptized, leave JWs,, later returning and stating they really didn't know what they were doing, and request a 're-baptism' now that they have matured and gotten past their wild, worldly stage. ??? anyone know.?

  i don't know if i have shared this with everyone, but there seems to be a new theocratic term, at least in my circuit.. the term is "final push.

  " wtf does it mean?

  well, an eldub said that the gb are "all in" with warwick and they might spend all their money on the project.

  Preparing for Governing Body 3.0? Making older GB step down? (New September Watchtower)

  by FusionTheism in

  2. bible

  watchtower, study edition, september 2015, "are you reaching the stature that belongs to christ?":.

  paragraph 6: the mature christian shows humility in that he recognizes that jehovahs ways and standards are always better than his own.

  [footnote: for example, older, experienced brothers may be asked to step aside from certain responsibilities and to lend support to younger brothers as they take on those responsibilities.].

  7 baptized, 3,000 attendees. Very low (.2%) especially since the WT is tapping into the under 16 age group also.

  "Make a list of people you want to meet in the New System!" (New September Watchtower)

  watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.

  following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.

  along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.
