yesterday's wt study (june 17) said: .

records show that in the last five years, the average number of regular pioneers has grown to over 1,100,000 and more than a quarter of a million worldwide have been added to the ranks of full-time preachers.. well, in 2013 they had an average of 950,022 pioneers, and in 2017 they had 1,249,946. looks like they lost some!.

also, the quarter million was a lot of turnover, which... wait for it... any thinking person would know!.

2. child-abuse
i think this has somewhat been touched on with regard to wt protecting the abuser, but it didn't make too much sense to me until i watch kimmy's video from two hours ago.

she talks about coc on amazon until minute two, so skip if you like.

2. beliefs
my pimi (physically in, mentally in) friend believes she was marked without them telling her.

i believe her, and she has been making work for the elders.

she is a pain in their arse, and they are a pain in hers, which is great.

Doubling up on Circuit Overseers for Apostahunts?
by Wakanda in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in my area i know of four congregations dissolved in one circuit, so that leaves eight weeks a year empty for that circuit overseer's calendar.

dissolving congregations is happening more than in my area, so i believe we can assume other c.o.s have open time.

it appears that c.o.s are visiting with a companion c.o.

Was this elder full of bs again regarding the complete wt library online?
by Wakanda in
1. watchtower
2. bible
this is my first time making an o.p.

an elder told me that he had access to a website online that had all the old bound volumes and books.

also, he made sure to say it was not an apostate website, but a 'legit' website made by brothers.
