  Are the halls of the Kingdom filling up, are they the same as before the pandemic or are they emptying?

  i open a new topic, to find out how it's going in your area.

  from what i see as a southern european in my constituency the situation is patchy.. the congregation where i am now has 30% old people on zoom but also young couples with almost all their cameras off.

  no increase but a slight decrease in the total number of publishers.. circuit assemblies: before covid you couldn't find a free seat if you arrived 10 minutes before the start.

  DesirousOfChange - “…He thinks JW doctrine is total BS, but that JWs are the best group of people to have as friends and as a ‘network’.”

  Clearly, he hasn’t met very many.

  Know what’s really funny?

  It’s weird, but Rutherford Christ actually reminds me of the new guy doing videos on JW-dot-org…

  …he looks straight out of central casting for a Mad Men reboot.

  🤣

  Where is Tony?

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.

  perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.

  how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).

  slimboyfat- “…I just said KHs aren’t emptying the way that churches are emptying, that’s all…”

  Agreed.

  The WTS operates differently that most religions, so it stands to reason that if/when it declines, that decline’s gonna look a little different, too.

  For one thing, the Org’ll bust its hump trying to conceal said decline. Regular churches don’t seem to be doing that.

  One thing Covid and Zoom revealed that I think surprised everyone…

  …there seems to be a lot more PIMOs than any of us - JWs or XJWs - ever expected.

  He’s obviously not living there anymore (if he ever really was in the first place). The car is probably for show.

  Maybe he and the missus live in the other house. You happen to know where it is?

  Personally?

  The over-the-top rant approach kinda turns me off (it’s why I stopped reading Alex Jones all those years ago).

  While I don’t doubt for a second that their efforts make a difference, Kim and Mikey remind me a bit too much of the TV guy in Iron Man 2 who kept smacking coffee cups with a baseball bat to “make his point”.

  I dunno, maybe it’s just the Canadian in me.
