i have another post here about how the wts is reeling from covid, as reflected in their abysmally catastrophic service report:.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6315842470936576/annual-service-report-yet-another-analysis-big-trouble-wts.
here's another rupture showing.. in the latest "announcements and reminders" to elders, there is a paragraph with these sentences:.
D.O.C. says:
A real blessing was cutting the Public Talk from an hour to 45 minutes to just 30 minutes.
That speaks volumes...when Mother (WT) herself reduces the Elders' public talks in half...from 60 minutes to 30 minutes. It shows She can't trust her own Dudes to 'Carry A Tune' so to speak. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if she were cut the PublicTalk to 15 minutes in the not too distant future!
there's already been a couple of threads on the 2021 report with insightful comments, but i'm vain enough to want to start my own topic with some additional thoughts..... as others on the other thread noted, it's useful to compare the 2021 numbers not only to 2020 but also 2019 (the last non-pandemic report).. there are some really troubling (if you're a wt headquarters guy) news in the latest report.. 1) baptisms plummet.
2021 - 171,393. baptisms dropped 20% in 2020, and 30% more in 2021. the total drop from 2019 to 2021 is an amazing 44%.. one could argue that without in-person assemblies and conventions you'd expect baptisms to drop.
but....if someone really wants to get baptized, jws will find a way.
Either way is fine by me asp59...I sort like your image better though...depicting a swifter, sudden & unsuspecting demise...Yay!👍

...big trouble for WTS
It won't be long folks...give it 5 to 10 years or so...before the WTBTS goes by way of the Rambler Automobile...

"...Big Trouble For The WTS"
Sooo Happeee!
🎶 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎶
Great work FFGhost!
look...i've had my beef with lloyd aka cedars and some of the stuff he says or does but equally i respect what he is trying to do and what he has achieved in terms of waking people up.. he intimated he had mental health issues years ago but his video today is brutal...i see pain in his eyes and he is suffering.
his family come first and the man needs to heal.. yes he has issues that many on here see but its not the man that is important but his work.. but the man needs time to heal mentally and i wish he does so.
he deserves that despite the feelings and things that have happened in the past with the exjw community.. he has done so much for the exjw community in general that i hope all give him a little clack and he returns.. if any of us did what he did we may be in the same boat but none of us do...see past the man and see his work but equally the man is suffering and it is pretty sad...i hope he gets better soon.
"Poor Lloyd"...not so fast!
Me thinks 'Mother' may have had a private word with him...either directly or indirectly through one of her worldly legal connections and made Lloyd Evans a handsome offer (an early retirement plan) he couldn't refuse!
this is not about stats, but "actual experiences" happening world wide in the organization.
there is about 156 comments of what some jws are seeing in their congregation.
feel free to read and come to your own conclusion on whether the watchtower organization is turning pimo but no one says anything in order to keep family relations.
"So many are waking up..."
We had the visit of the CO & his wife about a month ago. Ordinarily in this congregation I'm affiliated with of the 80 participants on zoom its 50/50...50% with camera on & 50% with camera off. You'd think out of respect for this CO & the wife of the CO more would of had their camera on...like 80/20...nope still 50% on & 50% off. More & more JWs are giving a shit about the 'Ocho Loco' or put another way...'Loco Ocho'!
Did I hear you ask: What is 'Ocho Loco'?
In the Latin communities and Countries it's lingo for WT's 8 GB leaders...'Crazy Eight'! In other words in the Latin community reverence and recognition for the GB being God's chosen mouthpiece is rapidly disappearing!
Back to the visit of the CO...I'm sure in the CO's report to 'Mother' he's obliged to include the number of participants & % of cameras' on. Me thinks...not only the CO but Bethel higher-ups are concerned as well about lack of interest pertaining to zoom meetings.
i have just realized that the 2021 service report figures have in fact been published.
but they are written in such a way its harder to compare.
so on the jw website, there is a tab called 'about us'.
Toyota Corporation, Ford Motor Corporation, GM Corporation, Apple, and GE Electric all target the adult general public to buy their product line...there's a future for these large companies.
The WTBTS is currently mainly targeting born-in infants and children of JW families...this cult's future is limited & shortened!
i think the first thing to consider is that it takes a while for humans to wake up to the truth.
this is not just a jw thing.
around 1600 ad, galileo challenged the catholic church's long held view that the earth was the center of our universe.
...does anyone see the link?
Hint...all 3 large Corporations currently rely very heavily on children as their customer base!

Where would the WTBTS be today without the support/help from cartoon characters and children?
