Estimating future growth or decline of Watchtower

by shepherdless in

i have seen a few posts here, in various guises, in relation to whether watchtower is in decline.

plenty of people respond, but it is all fairly anecdotal, or "gut feel".

some of it has been wishful thinking.. as of late 2015, watchtower's numbers suggest it is still growing marginally, but there are various anecdotes on this site of publishers typically being older, and younger ones disappearing.

pepperheart

hi you dont want anything that is just gut feel what about this then

Since 2016 the watchtower have stopped printing about 50 million magazines a month and made them bimonthly ie watchtower and awake.if you say each copy costs just 2 cents that means the watchtower is saving $1million dollars a month and in another post i have just seen that they are closing the convention hall in sira lanka down and selling it off

i would say decline in both people AND money and now that they are having to sell the family silver off brooklyn and central london it will be very nice to see the borg slowly crumbling away

Judgment handed down by Court of Appeal in legal challenge to Charity Commission inquiry opened in 2014

by OrphanCrow in

this is good news.

the wt have lost in their attempt to stop the uk charity commission's inquiry into their affairs.

however, the wt is still digging in their heels about turning documents over to the charity commission.https://www.gov.uk/government/news/court-of-appeal-gives-judgment-in-court-case-by-jehovahs-witness-charityjudgment handed down by court of appeal in legal challenge to charity commission inquiry opened in 2014.today, the court of appeal handed down its judgment regarding the commission’s statutory inquiry, opened in 2014, into the watch tower bible and tract society of britain (the leading jehovah’s witness charity in the uk).

this is really good and i think it will get even better

World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

by Slidin Fast in

the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

pepperheart

more cut backs rather than doing printing in uk get it done in germany if it cost about £200,000 for the new accomadation in the uk it would take many years for a lorry once a month going the 500 miles that it is from selters to london

CLAM - JUNE 2016

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

first week focuses on utilizing videos in combination with tracts.

for the wtbts, this is a low cost approach to placements and prosyletising.. .

second week focuses on those who are ill. this is somewhat surprising in that the subject was discussed recently in the wt study (dec 15 2015 edition - "jehovah will sustain you") considered at the end of february this year.. .

pepperheart

more ct backs cheeper for the borg in the long run if people show videos rather than give magazines etc

Can I pick up a New World Translation from the JW London head office?

by Camperdown9 in

i'm an anglican and not a jehovahs witness.

what i dislike about lots of church congregations is their readiness to make unpleasant and unhelpful comments about other christian groups.

recently someone in a church tried to tell me a little about the views of jehovahs witnesses.

pepperheart

Also they do not belive in the trinity and lots of other things that all christians belive

jw family loves to ask df'd ones for money!

by Ghiagirl in

well it finally happened!

we have been waiting about a year for this, my dfd husbands family asked us for money.

even though his own father hasn't met our 8 month old son.

pepperheart

If your husbands father has not met his grandson once but wants money of you then that is worse than being a prostitute at least they give you sex and dont be expecting any contact after wards either.I would bite my tongue and try to wake them up by saying this if your family at the kingdom hall is so loving etc you should ask them or even the branch headquaters for money or help.
