Should I just tell my parents
by BlackWolf inlately i've been feeling just so fed up with this stupid religion i really can't take it anymore!
i'm starting to think that maybe i should just tell my parents how i really feel.
if they treat me too badly or kick me out i could probably stay with my non jw aunt.. ive just reached my breaking point, i don't really care what people think of me anymore.

Are you in just your last year of school? Can you absorb yourself in books and your artwork; things as stepping stones for a plan to college or university? Do you go to public school? Best to wait another year? A lot to plan. Perhaps your aunt could help you plan, but don't rush out. This next year will go faster if you have a plan. So many best wishes to you!

Other than maybe the 12 printing branches, the other 70 apprx, are basically only RTOs, shipping and supervisory outposts.

Bethel downsizing is still coming
by dropoffyourkeylee ini spoke with a bethelite (non-us) last week who says that a 20-25% downsize is coming at their bethel in the fall of 2016. this is in addition to the cutbacks of 2015. more will be sent out 'to the field'..

I would expect the branches (approx. 22) in Africa will get hit the most, the soonest. They just won't have the money for support from the Headquarters. They won't have the priority. Will be very heartbreaking for them. Most African branches are just RTOs, some also with Shipping. Maybe only two Branches do printing, South Africa and Nigeria?

"The phasing of the sale is under review but is expected by 2021 at the latest as the organisation moves to its new purpose-built centre in Chelmsford, Essex. However, IBSA said offices could be quickly vacated if investors requested."
So WT willing to jump and run for money. Sounding anxious.

"Currently, the Watch Tower Society is working with a Greenwood Lake Boy Scout Troop to refurbish the east shore of Greenwood Lake, offering their assistance in terms of material and volunteer trade help."
What!!! They are helping the Boy Scout Troop up there!?? The WT leadership won't allow JWs to have their own children in Boy Scouts, nor girls in Girl Scouts, -- aren't even suppose to buy Girl Scout cookies!! Hypocrites!!

Comment on Violin Video

It's the kids that get robbed the most. No way to replace your youth; goes very quickly. They have to take way too much on, too seriously. The JW kids have to take on such a crazy responsibility to prove or help god to win over all the issues of the universe. I don't feel bad about the "bunker" video; if the adults think that, then fine; they can have their paranoia. But the kids feeling bad that they want and love good music but are denied, it sickens me.
Further note: now, these issues about not being allowed doing school extra-curriculars, and these paranoias about the end are nothing new in the WT world. Some JWs heard these things in 'talks' and got the WT point, but some were brain numbed, bored and it just flew over or ? Now, tho, with these, 'videos', perhaps more are more awake to the 'power of film.'

RCs this weekend. Anyone going? Any reports about baptisms numbers? Funny, that so far the WT reports number of conventions and number of videos and their building work, and other inconsequential numbers, but not numbers of baptisms. The baptism numbers seem to be lowering; maybe some parents aren't pushing it so much, concerned their child may not be ready, and as the threat of DFing has created more fear for the parents not quite ready to sacrifice their children to the GB yet?!

Article: Witnesses Portfolio ‘Better Maintained Than The White House.’
by AndersonsInfo inhttps://www.bisnow.com/new-york/news/commercial-real-estate/what-makes-the-jehovahs-witnesses-portfolio-special-and-what-the-latest-property-to-hit-the-market-could-become-60632 .
“i’ve never seen any properties kept in better shape,” tim says.
“anyone who buys them will be happy that they did and they won’t need to spend a dime on upgrades to infrastructure.” tim, who tells us he attended a breakfast at the white house about a decade ago, goes as far as to say the buildings are better maintained than the presidential residence..

Attendances & Baptisms at Summer Conventions
by steve2 inthere have been very informative threads on presentations and audience reactions ("thrilled", "emotional") at this summer's regional conventions (formerly district conventions) but little on actual attendance numbers and numbers baptized.
.
or could i be directed to current threads discussing these aspects - i searched but found nothing.

Can only assume it's low numbers, since the WT is quiet about it.
