The organization has returned to its roots, where persons only had to switch on the phonograph, rather than their brain to reason with the householder. Now a totally unprepared JW can push play on his iPad, and no longer needs to study himself.

" Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.
by prologos inthis statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.
explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .
together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

Well then I don't know where the CO got his figures, perhaps they were more local. 50k BS requests each day totals over 18M a year through the website alone. Seems a bit high to me, but if you say so.

The acurate statement is that during the first 5 days of August (tract month) 1200 requests came in. In the six months prior, only 3200 came in. The JW.org tract is thus a success.
So in effect 240 requests globally at the peak. And these are just leads, not actual studies. Perhaps some trolling too.

2014 MEMORIAL ATTENDANCES FOR REST OF THE WORLD
by steve2 inthe october kingdom ministry for the united states reported the 2014 memorial attendances for the us branch office that has subsequently been well discussed in a separate thread.
in that thread, a poster asserted that in some parts of europe the attendance had been higher than last year - but to date no source evidence has been provided.. so, have memorial attendances for other parts of the world been reported in any of the publications such as kingdom ministryyet?.
if so, could you direct me to the source(s).

Steve2 / Problemaddict:
The population in the Netherlands grew 4% in the period 2003-2014, around 640000 additional persons (16.225M ti 16.865M).
So there is certainly a decline in memorial attendees (not to confuse with the growing number of partakers)...and over 640K persons extrato destroy at Armageddon.

It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?
by Nosferatu ini find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

Not on jw.org - comments regarding bad Jehovah's Witness employees
by jwfacts ini used to be very impressed with convention experiences regarding how worldly employers would hire jws because they were known as the most honest workers.
i was too indoctrinated to realise these were selective experiences, and there are plenty of experiences of jws being dishonest in the workforce.
i have received a couple recently by email.. i have cut quite a bit out of the following email i received so that the person and company cannot be indentified, but you will get the message.. .

Around two years ago (me being long out), I was hiring for a full-time position at our company. One of the applicants turned out to be a JW, he said that he did a lot of volunteer work for his religion (read: pioneer) and could only work part-time. According to company policy, I could offer him 4 days a week/32 hours, which I did, as he was otherwise qualified.
We actually were in the negotiation process, when I asked for his current salary and what he was looking for. His current salary was slightly higher than I was able to offer, so wanting to be able to convince senior management that we needed to up our offering, I asked for a copy of his current salary slip. When I got it, it turned out to be quite a bit lower than he had stated. I called him to find out what was going on and he claimed that I must of misunderstood, the salary that he mentioned was desired salary, not his current.
We did not hire him.
