i was just wondering if there is any official rules on dealing with this.

a sister in the congregation is planning to divorce her husband who is also a witness so she can marry a different brother in the same hall!

yes this is a huge scandal!

This is actually pretty common. I've seen it on more than one occasion.

A clue about dropping of reporting of numbers?
by sir82 in

hey, did anyone notice this point from the wt study article for this past weekend (paragraph 2):.

certainly, jehovah is pleased to see that so many attend the memorial.

(luke 22:19) however, jehovah is not primarily concerned with the number of people who come.

I doubt they will stop reporting hours to Elders, and I doubt Elders will stop reporting to Watchtower. I do think Watchtower will continue the recent policy of reducing how much they share with the public based on what makes them look good or bad. If they stop asking publishers to report time, what's to stop the publishers who are simply going through the motions so they have some time to report, from no longer going in service at all? I reckon there's at least a million publishers who do an hour or two per month, just so they are not inactive. It might even be as high as 2 million.

I can confirm. We recently had our remodel and the literature counter was replaced with a small grab and go like the one pictured above.
