  A few years ago I have a mid week talk and I mentioned the decline in baptisms since the peak in the 90s, and how much more time it takes to make 1 convert from service. I was just going over the yearbook stats to show the situation and the importance of being a real teacher. OMG people were stunned. Its really like they are drones, they were not even aware of the stats in the yearbook that they all love so much.

  On the Yearbook's Report(Again)

  by Alex Bryant in

  hello.

  i have a question about the number of publishers reported on the yearbook.

  i was wondering if this number refers only to the number of publishers baptized or to the overall number of publisher(baptized & not baptized).

  Yes both - thats why its impossible to actually figure out how many witness there are, how many have been DFed. It makes all the stats mirky. A healthy percent of those publishers are young kids.

  Steve2, actually there was an article that talked about it. It mentioned that even though that is increasing, the end is still very soon. I dont remember which one but it was not long ago.

  Yea I heard that --- from JWs - counting dead loved ones. It's not true. Have never read anything like that, or heard it from a credible source.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormons

  P.S. other BS from JWs is that Jews have lots of babies because one of them is gonna be the Messiah.
  Can't trust those JW's :)

  Watchtowers policy of shunning our own close relatives

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having looked over the february' 2016 wt study article ' learn from jehovah's loyal servants' and meditating on the 'advice' from the fds aka gb regarding the shunning of our own close relatives if they have been disfellowshipped.

  the example in par 7 highlighting how a woman called anne shuns her own mother for 'as she says' cutting herself off from jehovah.

  i can't help but wonder how audacious and wreckless watchtower is in writing this stuff.
