Are the halls of the Kingdom filling up, are they the same as before the pandemic or are they emptying?

by LaFrancia in

i open a new topic, to find out how it's going in your area.

from what i see as a southern european in my constituency the situation is patchy.. the congregation where i am now has 30% old people on zoom but also young couples with almost all their cameras off.

no increase but a slight decrease in the total number of publishers.. circuit assemblies: before covid you couldn't find a free seat if you arrived 10 minutes before the start.

They make the khalls look like they're filling up.

By taking out seats & amalgamating congregations.

by Balaamsass2 in

it appears the perp got the victims disfellowshiped!

the state attorney general has re-opened the botched case.. "the trial for a jehovah’s witness elder accused of molesting three girls in 1999 began in a lancaster county court monday with lawyers giving opening statements to the jury.. norman aviles-garriga, 45, was charged by the pennsylvania attorney general with two counts of aggravated indecent assault and 16 related offenses in connection with assaults alleged by three women who say the abuse happened when they were girls.. aviles-garriga is one of five pennsylvania jehovah's witnesses charged by a statewide grand jury with using their positions within their churches to sexually abuse children.

the attorney general’s office brought charges against the men in october 2022 and february 2023.. .

Now is the time if you're an elder,,,or anyone higher on the rungs,,, to walk away.

Step down. Relinquish that title. Its like you're on the railroad tracks.

If you're afraid of stepping down,, just become totally useless & unreliable.

You'll lose that eldership title within a couple of months.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses have to buy any of the organization's literature before distribution?

by Vanderhoven7 in

was this ever a requirement?.

The next thing is the borgs tax free status.

The Borganization simply cannot exist or function without it.

It was a double whammy for the Borg.

The Swaggart rulings. Then the internet release just a few short years after.

Not 1 ,, but 2 whammies.

The Borganization never expected either of these.

And is still reeling ever since.

&&&&,,,with this,, we clearly see how the Borg has been struggling in the 21st century

The ''tax ruling' on Jimmy Swaggart in 1990 in combination with the release of the internet in 1993- 1995.

The revenue streams dried up.

We saw it in the yearbooks becoming paperback(I remember that in about 1997)

Tne reduction of printed material.

To almost,,NO mater now.

Expect more sale of KHs.

The Borg has to reinvent itself.

First video from the convention is all about FEAR

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/cdzydtuoblw?si=tyr8hgdgaiyn7c4h.

this was leaked only few days ago and it's a small segment of the video from the 2024 convention that has already started.

the video shows a jw logo down while worried jws are watching it as a news item on their tv screens, others are seen hiding from the police, others driving is the countryside to escape the authorities.
