Are the statistics out yet?

by slimboyfat in

isn’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?

I don’t think they will ever stop the year report.

It was very bad after the 1975 fallout, they recovered, i suspect they believe they will recover again.

The current 3 year attrition rate is 0.92

The current 5 year attrition rate is 0.86

The only time the 3 year rate was above 1 was 1979.

The 5 year rate also in 1979 was 0.95.

Figures show we aren’t in 1975 fallout territory. Yet.

Give it 10/15 years when the old guard die off, and the kids who are only hanging on for their parents (who have died) leave, THEN you will see the real decline. It will make the 1975 fallout look like a walk in the park.

2022 WTS Numbers

2022 grand totals.

branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 86. .

number of lands reporting: 239. .

Reservations

Only 2.5% of Bible studies got baptised.

How many of those 97.5% of Bible studies will stick it out to baptism?

The attrition rate was 0.85. Only until that rate is over 1 average for a 5 year period, IMHO we can’t honestly say this organisation is in decline.

Sarah Kellen - Victim or Vixen?

by Sea Breeze in

sarah kellen has been described as jeffery epstein's 'lieutenant' for allegedly sourcing and booking girls for 'massages'.. kellen’s [jehovah's witness] parents said they knew almost nothing about what their daughter’s duties involved because they became estranged from her at around the time she took the job with epstein when she was aged 18 or 19.. the split with her family came after kellen was thrown out of the church for allegedly leading an “immoral” lifestyle:.

sarah’s parents told the daily mail they love her and would welcome her back as long as she rejoins the church and shows them she’s committed to the faith.. so, is she a victim or a sly fox?.

No wonder she got kicked out, what a piece of shit. The narrative that leaving the watchtower drives people to do heinous things due to not having family support is ridiculous.

I wouldn’t be surprised if his wife Dijana ends up going back to the organisation with her 2 kids.

Now THAT would be a kick in the teeth wouldn’t it Lloyd.

World War 3

i’m calling it folks, world war 3 looks like it’s a done deal.. belarus has entered ukraine, and nato is involved heavily, just not “boots on the ground”.. will there be a nuclear exchange?

i would have said no 5 days ago, now i’m not so sure.. how will this effect wt?

probably more of the same fear mongering..

Reservations

I do miss that feeling of being 100% sure Gods kingdom will step in before nukes or ww3 started. It was a comfort blanket.

Now realising it has nothing to do with “God”, nothing is off the table.

I do think if Russia used a tactical nuke, the west would not retaliate.

I also have a feeling of Russia attacks a NATO country, although in the nato constitution it says they have to all come to their aid, I also think there won’t be a retaliation.

The fear for MAD (mutually assured destruction) is real and sadly I feel Russia can and will do as they please, nukes and all.

If Lloyd had 950 Patreon followers before the “crisis”, he now has 735.

Thats a 22% decrease just this month.

I suspect many patron followers are waiting for their chance to speak with him personally on one of his exclusive member only chats, say their piece to his face and then cancel. Maybe he will be more apologetic and grovel to his patrons, but based on his track record I highly doubt it.

God, Lloyd is still tweeting nonsense.

Too many tweets make a twat.

And Lloyd is definitely making a twat out of himself.
