  we know that in africa warwick/watchtower is adopting a policy of more congregations with fewer publishers in each congregation.

  this explains the growth of congregations in the 2024 world report.. cameroon world report 2019 vs. 2024.. with the same number of publishers the congregations grew by about 13%.. will there be many more curious cases out there?.

  @Careful.

  Almost every Cameroon citizen speaks French, or English. So I don’t think the other languages have much to do with it.

  ” French and English are the official languages of Cameroon. Eight out of the ten regions of the nation, housing 83% of the population of Cameroon, are francophones. The remaining two regions, representing 17% of Cameroon’s population are mainly anglophones. However, the proportion of anglophones in the country is gradually decreasing.”

  One of the reasons might be transportation. In third world countries, where most people have little money, transportation is an issue.

  in our assignment, in our congregation, we had only five or six families with old cars. On Tuesday nights, after the ts and service meeting some of them had to make three or more trips from the hall to surrounding villages, sometimes untill 11:00 PM, to take friends home. So as soon as possible we tried to establish groups and later small congregations in those villages. Problem was the lack of capable brothers.

  i overheard a discussion between two jws, they said that when someone is disfellowshipped, they are asked to hand their blood card back to the elders.

  i had never heard of this before, is this correct?.

  My story of becoming a circuit overseer after Kin Suen visited our congregation.

  here is my story of becoming a missionary after having kin suen (pronounced “shin”) as my circuit overseer.

  my father wanted me to go to college, but since he wasn’t a witness, i knew he just didn’t understand how close we were to the end.

  i had actually become a circuit overseer!

  Thanks for your experience ex-CO. I was a missionary as well for 9 years. It’s a hard life, inside the home with sometimes annoying people and on the streets…noise, heat, humidity, dirt. No money, no decent transportation. I am so glad I left at an age I could still make something of my life.

  a long, long time ago, when i was young, i became a 'special' pioneer.

  it meant that i had to spend 150 hours a month, and i received a small allowance.

  i was then assigned to a small country congregation, in western nsw (australia).

  Hi Reasonfirst. 150 hours. That must be a long time ago. We had to do 140 as SP and missionary, I am talking about 1987-1998.
