  Yearly Donations down? 2.4 billion for the 2015/16 financial year

  by Diogenesister in

  so people keep saying watchtowsr is in a financial mess.

  i think we can all accept that numbers are stagnating at best and going down year on year in the north / western countries and japan.. however the recent finance dept leeks confirmed that following the may 2015 broadcast requesting more donations, an extra 30 million was sent in for the months of july/august.

  stephen lett stated that this figure equated to a 30% increase.. lloyd evans has used this figure to work out how much is donated on a yearly basis worldwide.

  how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.

  here is an example i was told as a kid:.

  the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.

  what about the "brother " that went on a business trip to China and walked around with a WTS leaflet hanging out of his back pocket, an uneventful trip only to be greeted at the airport departure gate by 2 Chinese JW's who told him he was in grave danger throughout the entire trip but they watched him and made sure the authorities could not arrest him! LMAO!.

  the most ridiculous was the Japanese Yakuza gang leader who ordered a hit to kill his own daughter because she would not follow him into a life of crime, he repented and became an elder, yes of course he did, who would disbelieve that? its highly credible

  Drop Off in Mentioning 1914

  videos from the summer jw conventions ("be courageous) show the "urgency" about the end racheted up several notches.

  paranoia rules supreme!.

  curiously, though, very few, if any, statements in the convention program about 1914 and the overlapping generations.

  the thing is Cobweb, we can forget all about our appendix, tonsils,goosebumps,tailbone etc as they serve no use to us, "The generation that saw the events of 1914 and who would not pass away until the creators promises that will be fulfilled by the end of the 20th century" cant be forgotten, its embedded in their history ! even if they have stopped production of old publications and the only publications they make available online are only a few years old us merry band of activists have all of it stored in sheds,garages and personal libraries across they world, my god thats wonderful

  tricky I'd say, 99.9% of the R&F are board out of their brains at any convention so using that pretext as a conversation stopper could end up problematic
