What about the dozens of pictures they print of the wild beast, the day of destruction, the 144,000 and endless others, where is the rank & file in those pictures?

Slimboyfat, I wouldn't be surprised if the request to stop sending money came from his wife and her family rather than himself.

The setting is very strange. Their house looks like it was stuck in the 70s, right up to the olive coloured fridge. The couple should be older to have a house decorated like that.

It is truly exciting to see that the rapid growth in Jehovah's organization is creating a need for expanded theocratic facilities to support audio/video production.
How much truth is there in any of this statement?
Where is this rapid growth as it's not being demonstrated in their annual figures?
The small growth does not corelate to any requirement to expand audio and video production. If they numbered 5 million instead of 8 million, the number of audio and video's required for propaganda would still be the same.

Wikipedia has put up a table of stats., comparing religion within Australia over a number of years with the census data collections.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Australia
It shows JW's at 84,400 or .3% of the population for the 2021 Census
For every other Census shown on this table, it has been .4% of the population, except for 1996 which was .5%

Cappytan is really getting motivated and it sounds like he's doing some great networking.
He's created a new website
not to be confused with the Watchtower's

Watchtower July 22 - JWs being interrogated need to muzzle their mouths
by Listener inthe watchtower has printed a disturbing article about self control and gives this instruction to the r & f .
self-control also allows us to remain silent when opposers try to trick us into revealing things that could endanger our brothers and sisters.
this might occur when we are being interrogated by the police in a land where our work is banned or restricted.

Thanks Atlantis for the scan of the Watchtower article.
Blues Brothers, I can only remember them relating examples of what other JWs have done and praised them for their actions under persecution. I don't recall where they have said that they need to remain silent under questioning is it might put other Brothers and Sisters in the spotlight.

The Watchtower has printed a disturbing article about self control and gives this instruction to the R & F
Self-control also allows us to remain silent when opposers try to trick us into revealing things that could endanger our brothers and sisters. This might occur when we are being interrogated by the police in a land where our work is banned or restricted. We can apply the principle to “guard [our] mouth with a muzzle” in these and other situations as well. (Ps. 39:1)
One common way in which authorities would try to trick a person into divulging information is by threatening them or their family and friends. It could be physical harm, material harm or something else. The Watchtower is telling them to shut up if the information might, not will, but might, endanger other JWs. How would they be endagered? Possibly just rounded up and interrogated as well.
But this instruction applies not only to JW men, but to females and teenagers.
It's not up to the Watchtower to decide when and how JWs should act when caught up by the higher authorities. It is up to the individual, their own conscience after weighing up what they perceive as risks.
