Very cool production. Unfortunately, the "secretiveness" message is a little watered down by them making it public as mp3.

Are JW sisters now giving birth in the kingdom hall? I noticed this does not count as an excuse.

There are two quotes in the German Kingdom Ministries that mention how many foreign congregation there are in Germany, one from 2002, the other from 2008. I made some calculations here on the German board:
http://forum.sektenausstieg.net/index.php?topic=13409.0From the table (that is based on some assumptions on congregation sizes) you derive that the 7,110 foreign converts slightly outweigh the loss of 6,689 German publishers. Without the imigrants there was a decline of more than 5% in Germany (2001-2007)!

The Kingdom ministry for February 2008 states that in Germany there are 36,000 foreign publishers in 531 congregations und 272 groups. That is more than 20% in terms of publishers (163,065) and in terms of congregations (2224).
The km says that there is a need in many German congregations and calls Elders to "consider under prayer" if they can move to a German congregation. They mention foreign publishers that were raised in Germany and went to school here to consider moving to a German congregation.
The branch calls it a "changed need" to avoid to neglect the German territory. After years calling for helpers for the imigrants they now openly ask the imigrant for help because the German congregations are obviously dwindling down.

2008 marks 10 years.
by free2beme inmy wife and i actually started to fade a little in 1997, but 1998 in january was our last attended meeting.
i gave a talk at the service meeting and looked out at all these people i knew were phony, listened to what i was saying and knew it was all lies and realized i never got over the change in the generations change in 1995 and had gone downhill from there.
i got off the stage, and the meeting ended and i got the typical pat on the backs for a good talk they never listened too anyway.

I suggest that each and every member of the board downloads the magazines several times since I guess they pay their Webhosting by volume...
