Near half of their JW "Lands Reporting" had 'decreases' in Memorial Attendance last year (2018)! "58%" of attenders are of the 'non-publishing' group/class :) ! Hopefully, many more of these 'non-publishers' do not attend this year!

Mind Numbing Meetings
by minimus inwithout a doubt, jw life is boring.
and those meetings!
5 congregation meetings, meetings for field service, elders meetings, judicial meetings, meetings to figure out who was qualified to clean the toilets....🤔.

The list of things we 'could have done' that would have been more stimulating and valuable!
Very sad, but even just watching tv all those hours would have been more stimulating and realistic. All the WT hours spent were 100% pointless.

I Am Still Here! Another Birthday look back at one helluva lifetime
by TerryWalstrom inwhen the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.the world of 1947--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.
everywhere you found telephone booths!
a call was a nickel.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.

Wow! Ratio comparing total pubs. (29,603) in Netherland with the noted 276 potential such cases to total pubs. in U.S. (1,234,877) could suspect possibility of 11,513 potential such cases! Worldwide? With WT. claim of Peak Pubs. of 8,579,909, potential such cases would come to 79,994!
I think the WT "dike" is crumbling!

Is there an ongoing "list" of all these Jehovah's Witnesses child abuse cases (listing per countries/states) for these last several years?

So peak pubs. increased almost 123,000 last year. So Armageddon delayed another year for them. So nice Jehovah - awesome! However, now because of this wonderful delay, now over 133M+ births this last year, more babies to for Jehovah has to destroy. Nice - :(

"During the 2018 service year, * Jehovah’s Witnesses spent over $214 million in caring for special pioneers, missionaries, and circuit overseers in their field service assignments. Worldwide, a total of 20,331 ordained ministers staff the branch facilities. All are members of the Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses."
Yet, 'more' money (+6%) ???into their "staff" (while closing 3 branches) when they admit they are putting more money out than they are receiving ???

Another Interesting conversation with my father today
by joe134cd indad - sister x had been visiting a lawyer as she is wanting to write her disfellowshipped daughter out of her will.
apparently her lawyer told her that if she leaves the daughter just $1000 then she can’t contest the will because she has been given her inheritance.. joe - oh thats unfortunate for the daughter as sister x is worth many times that.
no doubt despite been dfed she has still got to pay bills and survive.. dad - sister x isn’t happy about the life style her daughter is living.

Didn't GB Morris suggest recently that if kids don't get baptized, then they shouldn't be allowed to get their license to drive either (a strong-arm method, true).

Wow! Sure wish that could have been videoed!!! Certainly Courtney planned this and hope he and Helene have found personal peace and continue now for more exposure of this hateful organization. Great if they could be on Leah Remini's next A&E about WT org./JWs. (I hope Leah will do another).
