A JW just informed me that not a word was mentioned about world wide 2022 totals in the January 2023 Governing Body Update #1. GB Sanderson talks about increase in Bible Studies...but that's it...no statistics...no numbers as to what was accomplished by way of baptisms, publisher count or increases of any sort for 2022. Already into the second week of 2023 & still no JW Yearbook...no country by country 2022 Grand Totals...Inquiring minds want to know what's with the delay!

Are the statistics out yet?
by slimboyfat inisn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?
or have they stopped publishing it?
did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?

ThomasMore...your spot-on with your assessment of what's going on currently in this cult...I agree also that some on this Forum for whatever reason are in denial over the gloomy direction this cult is headed!
I might add to your list the amount of negative thinking going-on among the rank & file who are in their 60s, 70s & 80s. I've heard many say out loud they doubt this system of things is going to end in their lifetime...that is huge! It's no secret that many Elders, Ministerial Servants, Regular Pioneers & other 'exemplary' ones are quietly/secretly thinking the same thing. Negative self-talk among the rank & file is no-bueno & there's plenty of it among the JWs...Yay! :)

Expect something similar to this announcement to be made in the not too distant future:
"The Governing Body is pleased to announce that the 2022 Service Year Grand Totals will be released after a more careful review of the unexpected and hard-to-explain decreases are further analyzed from dozens of different countries including the United States."

New poll shows public knows Jehovah's Witnesses and dislike them....almost as much as the Church of Satan
by Balaamsass2 inwow.
while not a pew survey, i found these to be surprising results.
" a recent yougov poll explores americans' attitudes toward 35 religious groups, organizations, and belief systems.

JWGoneBad , l read Slim's post differently . To me he was saying that JWs would equate themselves with the early Christians.
You're correct jhine...that's why my reply is JWs are 10% Christian & 90% cult & lead by 8 eggheads!

I think i see the problem here slimboyfat...sounds like you place JWs on the same level as early Christians...I don't!
Early Christians were 100% Christian...Jehovah’s Witnesses are 10% Christian (I'm being generous) and 90% cult lead along & controlled by 8 meatheads!

Here what's soo funny about the results of this poll in connection Jehovah’s Witnesses...JWs take it upon themselves to preach their own interpretation of the Bible to the world and in the end...the world's overall view of JWs is that they're harmful and toxic!

My hope is a decrease in publishers & baptisms in the U.S. They can have as many damn pioneers and auxiliary pioneers as they want to report...pioneers' production & yield levels are soo damn low anyway!
It was bragged about that our circuit had upwords of 600 pioneers and auxiliary pioneers...yet at the time of the baptism talk there were between 2 to 4 kiddy JWs born-ins being dunked! So what good are high JW pioneer numbers when they can't generate new recruits? :) :)

Will JWs throw you under the bus if you have a transfusion?
by Vanderhoven7 inmark writes.
"if a person accepts a blood transfusion, the jehovah’s witness elders are required to “investigate” to see if the person is sorry for “cowardly” saving their life.
if the person doesnt beg and grovel to the elders for allowing the doctor to save their life (or that of their child) then the elders can take this as a sign that he/she has disassociated from the congregation - and tell the congregation to start shunning them.. if someone willingly takes blood, perhaps because of being under extreme pressure, the committee should obtain the facts and determine the individual’s attitude.
