They might want to brag about how many were placed but it might also be to acertain how many tracts should be printed and sent in the future. I'm sure they want to cut costs and will reduce the amount they print and send to the congs if there is too big a varience between amount shipped and amount reported as placed.

Is the Centenary Campaign in August 2014 really for the public?
by truthseeker ini was thinking about what i read in a recent kingdom ministry about the historical campaign the jws will engage in this august.. this is not really for the public.. it is to keep the jw's busy, not thinking about why 100 years has gone by with no end in sight, but to buoy up flagging enthusiasm.. they trying to make jws maintain a constant state of tension and expectation..

The new tract is to be distributed to publishers at the meeting for the week starting June 9. It won't be "special" to them anymore by August.
I wonder if it will be in the new format of recent tracts? I liked the older tracts better.

My 45 Minute Conversation With JWs Today
by cofty inas i was saying before the watchtower literature trolley has arrived in my little town.... my wife and i were in town this afternoon and i saw one of my former elder colleagues standing beside the trolley talking to a young man and reading to him from one of their books.
ray was one my least favourite people - he was everything that is bad about jw elders.
i went up to them and interrupted and told the man that this is a cult recruitment campaign.

August is also the month many countries see new publisher peaks, including the US.
This tract campagn in August seems to be tied to that-encourage all to share so an all time peak will be recorded to end the SY.

Why do I bother to wake up in the morning?
by punkofnice ini'm not suicidal just fed up.. i did think of suicide (briefly), but as there is no painless way and it's not something i would willingly do just in case things would have been better the day after.
i do have a slight grain of hope.. money problems.....problems at home (that's another matter with a son up court for something he is adamant he didn't do.
first offence but the pigs police and the cps have got charges made.

Sorry you are in such a dark place. I am too, and it is getting darker as time goes on. I keep hoping for good news that never comes.
I hope you WILL get good news and that your situation will get better.

Literature Cost
by Kool Jo inhello folks:.
just curious....back when they institutued the voluntary donation arrangement for the literature rather than specifying a cost....was the reason related to avoid paying taxes....i heared this somewhere, but checking to see if there's real proof or some letter from the borg.. thanks.

Too, they said it was a blessing from Jehovah-a simplification which was already successful in other countries.
But it did make it possible for me to obtain literature I wanted and needed- no longer being charged a set amount for it.

Have You Been Invited To The Memorial?
by minimus inone of my best friend's, who is an ex elder had two elders visit him at his home yesterday to invite him to the memorial.
he was cordial to them because they were'nt over the top.. so far, i have had no invites, thank god..

I was not invited either. I have not been invited to the memorial in the nearly 9 years since I last attended a meeting.
My jw brother never invites me, nobody from the congregation does and the sister who used to bring me the magazines does not either.
In fact, that sister has not been by since January and did not bring me the yb or wt library like she used to. Perhaps her eyes have opened and she no longer goes out in FS?

Next the witnesses will wait till people call on their homes to witness to them instead of vice versa!
But seriously- it is supposed to be a life saving message. Look at how nonchalantly they and the organization go about it.
And the average person still has no idea what the life saving message is or what the good news of the kingdom is, who Jehovah is or what witnesses really believe.
