  2023 Yearly Report UNDER the Microscope

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  https://youtu.be/pi7sn2rnrke?si=lnvklqct6nuayv2q.

  branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 85 (= down one from 86 from the previous year and quite possibly they are referring to the hong kong bethel that closed down recently).

  number of lands reporting: 239 ( =the same as 2022).

  Even with recent changes it’s a struggle to get people to attend

  the kingdom hall is still empty.

  even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.

  the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

  There does seem to be almost a ''sifting'' happening in the Borg as to some have suggested.

  To 'sift out' the "holier'' ones and ''sift'' out the more 'lukewarm' JWs so that they fall through the cracks and appeal to the more zealous JWS. Those are the ones who are more apt to donate $$$$$,, the '"holier'' or more zealous JWS.

  Just a way the borg reinvents itself.

  Hotels for convention

  by ElderBerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a department in bethel wants to try to make money from regional conventions by asking local hotels if they will give a special rate and a coupon code to give to jws.. .

  they should just keep it simple and not be greedy for dishonest gain.. .

  this year some convention sites the hotels said no thank you i think the jws are going to book with us anyway.

  Yes. They make a profit from hotels.

  And they even intimidate the $heeple by telling them if they don't abide by the approved 'list',, that the assigned city may "not have them back".

  But really,,who would know,,or care?
