Tech49: Mini RC 2014 Review
by Tech49 ini attended the regional convention (district convention) over the last weekend, and thought i would spend a few minutes putting down some thoughts, for your amusement.
i will bounce around a bit, as my notes and thoughts were a little craaaaazy.. we met at one of the smaller venues on the west coast, with attendance around 7,000.
(28 baptized.... <.04%) we were tied in to the international convention in arlington, tx.. my first thought, only about 2 hours in, was how much this sounded like a plain old sales meeting!

Thank you Sir82!
I listened to several talks and a brother who studied with me gave the public talk Sunday morning!
This was the first time I heard a talk by him in many years!
David Spane gave a good talk at the end of Sunday's session.
I think they should do this for all the conventions & assemblies and put it on jw.org afterwards too for those who could not go to a convention.

Pretty Sad
by piztjw init really is pretty sad that the gb and their "fair-haired-boys" cannot get their stories straight even from one day to the next.. friday, while touting the greatness of jw.org the rc speaker bragged about the web site being translated into over 400 languages.
on saturday splane bragged about it being translated in 369 languages.
while that is close to 400 it surely isn't over 400.. then yesterday one of the speakers said, "the mormon church is investing on internet web site outreach.

The most recent figure for translation is about 700 languages. ( See the 2014 tour brochure for the US.)
They present such information in a confusing way because it seems most jws don't understand the figures themselves. There have been descrepensies in describing the sq footage of the Wallkill printery with the w, g, km and the tour brochure giving different figures for it.
They are misleading in what they say is the printing for the w because they don't include the printing of the study edition in it.
In 2012, according to an article on jw.org, they printed more than 1.3 billion magazines or 108 million per month. Yet the 46 million copies of the public w and the 45 million of g come to around 91 million monthly, leaving over 17 million for the study editions which they never mention.
For the web site they mention material is in over 300 langs and you can download pubs that appear in over 400 languages. They are unclear in how they express it.
They don't get there facts straight.

What new books are released this year?
by EndofMysteries ina relative called and said another relative called them and mentioned some book about the life of rutherford and russell.
is this correct?
i wouldn't be surprised if they were publishing more 'white washed' information to try to diffuse the facts people are learning when doing real research.

What would the ideal racial demographic be for the Governing Body?
by LogCon inthe number of white men on the governing body has often come up for discussion.
the negro member has been called the 'token black.
' no reflection on his race, but it just seems odd that with the great number of witnesses around the world, in such a variety of countries, that every member, but one, is white.. in your opinion, [with 8 as the target number].

I don't know that it would make much difference what race they were.
What would help would be persons who are sincere, empathetic, and kind, regardless of race.
