  The end of this system is so very near.....NOT

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses - warwick, new york.

  “yes, the end of this system is so very near!

  is that no reason to increase our activity?… reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service.

  Where to go for the 'Deep Things'?

  by cobweb in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as someone who has been out a while, i wondered what publications a jw would turn to now if they want to do serious bible research.

  are there any meaty jw publications left?

  i haven't heard of the insight books being revised.

  List of Branch Offices and Country Offices of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm trying to put together a comprehensive master list of watch tower society branch offices that corresponds roughly with the figure published in the worldwide report.. i feel it would be useful to monitor the number and location of existing branch offices, because i believe the distribution of branch offices worldwide is a good indicator of the society's financial wellbeing.

  we now seem to be entering a period of branch office closures, with last year seeing an unprecendented 16% reduction in branch office numbers over the year before.

  it will be interesting to see how things develop moving forward, but i'm hoping that by keeping a list of the offices we will be better placed to keep track of the "retreat" if branch office numbers continue to dwindle.. here we go.... .

  Not sure Cognac, but I just saw a new post about the Indian Branch closing in a few months... So I guess they're down to 84 or 85 branches?
