hello, new member here.
i have a question that has been bugging me for a couple of months now.
so i have been dating this guy(a witness ) for over a year now.
Your boyfriend is dishonest and immature. You deserve a boyfriend that is proud of you and willing to yell that from the rooftops. He is a slave to his religion and obviously to his mom. This is double trouble. As a JW you would just about not have much association of your family and non-JW friends. You would lose so much but gain nothing.

what 'percent' at circuit assemblies or special day assemblies? Are ones inclined to wait for the Regionals (more exciting) or not necessarily?
These Regional Conventions reporting quite low numbers, averaging approx. .5% of attendance.
Also, what percent at Regionals are attenders among the 'Average Publishers?' What percentage of others are there, among the interested, the inactives, the disfellowshipped?.
Are these 'low' baptism numbers getting any comments or observations?
does anybody know how many district overseers there used to be either in the us or the uk ?
i went to the convention this past weekend in cleveland with my wife and son.
most of the session was the status quo, but here are some of observations that i believe are worth noting: .
1. i did not see a lot of jw.org advertisements and the website was not mentioned a whole lot during the session.
i just went to a convention in mazatlan, mexico.. i had wanted to do this for a very long time, it left me shaken a bit (because i had a confrontation of sorts with one jw who recognized me), but i got some stats that give some insight into the borg.
it really is crumbling, even in the places where they have arguably had the best, wildest success in the world: mexico.. just so you can see how much they have success in mexico compared to the us or anywhere else:.
top three countries in 2014 were:.

i hear a number of disfellowshiped are quickly reinstated in acertain circuit in japan.one disfellowshipped person who are obviously in worldly.
clothings, attended a meeting.whole congregation thought that person was not yet sincerely repented,but, announcement was made that the person was reinstated.branch office and circuit overseers are eager to bringdisfellowshiped back to the organization.local elders are not very pleased about it..
maybe Japan more desperate,,decreasing for years,, desperately need ministerial servants, elders, etc.
Of course, if "worldly clothings" - & tight pants, then he's still going to be in trouble.
