  google translate:

  Deep throats pass us this tip.
  Yesterday a letter would be read to the Bethel family in India.
  Waiting for the letter, the information given was as follows:
  It will no longer print in India (the literature will come directly from Selters, in Germany)
  The contributions made for that purpose will be used for the construction and maintenance of Kingdom Halls
  Part of the contributions had already been used to buy the four-story residential complex that was needed for the India Branch
  The complex will be rented
  Everyone was encouraged to cook for themselves

  What is the longest distance you drove to attend a summer Convention?

  here is a photo of the milwaukee brewers ( american baseball team) county stadium.

  for some reason, we were assigned this outdoor stadium for our 1975 four-day summer convention.

  our congregation was located 90 miles away on the north side of chicago.. some congregation members stayed at milwaukee hotels for the four-day convention.

  '58 to Yankee Stadium from California. Nobody I knew had a/c then (that started I guess in a Cadillac out that year). Stayed on a ship from Europe docked for the week that brought over European JWs who had hotels to stay. On ship, in lower decks the air ventilation wasn't very good on it, especially first day.

  Parts of her experiences, most exJWs raised in will relate.

  According to WT. 2018 Yearbook?report about 50% of listed "Lands" showed a decrease in Memorial Attendance.

  I expect at least that again this next year. (If WT. dares to report any decrease numbers in future.)

  Maybe Morris got 'new light' to start 'giving gifts' at their one and only annual "holy day" coming up. He's starting with 8 bottles of real "holy water" spirits, with one bottle for him and 7 bottles for his 'Holy' compadres! After all, they are getting ready for their 'great persecution' with all these increasing court bombardments coming in from all the world. After all, he already sounds so depressed.

  Seems would be likely to stop publishing annual "Grand Totals." Especially, when Numbers on Branches down, Total Congregations down, Memorial Attendance, flat - almost half countries decreasing, Partakers increasing (WT admits many nut cases), the WT. ridiculously plays on 'Peak' & 'Average' Pubs., baptisms decreased, Hours in Field so meaningless at 2 Billion (half just driving around & @McD), Bible studies no doubt going down (now that there is a limit of up to 2 yrs. length). Reporting time or Bible Study on their children is ridiculous. This report would discourage any JW with a half-brain.

  Perhaps no 'paper' reporting, but by computer, for elders, COs, and Headquarters eyes and controls only.

  " would you entertain a negative report about your spouse?" You love your spouse so you know it's wrong"

  See how the GB twist such things!!! They turn on anyone who question them (GB); as suggesting if the spouse "loves" their spouse they would not have to be concerned about any accusation. Crazy illustration when there have been millions of lying, unfaithful marriage partners who have needed to be questioned!
