  Attendances & Baptisms at Summer Conventions

  by steve2 in

  there have been very informative threads on presentations and audience reactions ("thrilled", "emotional") at this summer's regional conventions (formerly district conventions) but little on actual attendance numbers and numbers baptized.

  .

  or could i be directed to current threads discussing these aspects - i searched but found nothing.

  I will be going to the one in long beach, Ca in August. Did you see any "apostates" outside the convention?. I must add I have been at that site for years and the attendance was on average 12K.

  Is anyone going to a convention in southern California Long Beach? I am going to an English convention this year in August just to hear the nonsense cult talks, I have no relation to any congregations in the English language.

  My first year international convention at this location there were soo many "apostates" outside, I believe easily like 40 of them, I remember wondering what was going on, my study teacher said they were bitter people who are expelled and just angry, one thing that stuck in my mind was reading this board that said "READ YOUR BIBLE NOT WATCHTOWER LITERATURE" and another one saying "1914", this was 18 years ago, I remember thinking we do read the bible what are they talking about. Now after being awake I understand what they meant, I didn't know anything about many things in the bible until now. Years later this convention site, have had some "apostates" outside still as I would arrived, I am now tempted to go up to them and say Hi since this will be my last convention I will attend.

  with all the hoopla going on about the rc, i was wondering if anyone has ever heard of or witnessed to someone giving a talk at the rc/ca that went rogue and just started lambasting the society and calling it a cult and liars ect.

  i would love to hear about the experience.

  like did they turn the mikes off on them?

  I had heard from a longtime elder that the only brothers "allowed" to wear a mustache was limited to Latin/Hispanic brothers in the 70s-80s in the USA this elder is Caucasian & said they weren't permitted to have a mustache when he was growing up, they would not have privileges if they had one, has anyone heard of such thing?

  My brother died last night

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.

  The radio station I hear here locally interviewed the father who with his wife participated in obtaining that billboard because their son & daughter are still in Scientology. .. the interesting part was that the father & Mother live in Florida, they were fading away from Scientology. .. when it got found out they weren't attending services any longer & drifted from the church, well it got reported back to church members & their adult children & family... now they are being shunned & seamed "supresive persons" ..he also mentioned that scientology recruit to indoctrinate kids as young as 10, was shocking to hear..... & so familiar as in the JWs!!

  Jajajaja.... this is soo funny I felt the same way about Game of Thrones, while being an asleep JW I feared Armageddon will be here before I would see the finale of GOT....Once I was awake the next thing came to mind that I have a great chance I will get to see how GOT will end!

  before you put this week's wt away, look at page 3.--

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  page 3 or any other side, foot notes and share them.

  bored today i looked at page 3 and 2 of the 4 elated willing offerings really looked peeved, simone and eston, even if you serve in a vacation destination, paradise, reality will set in, and it will show as in this telling picture.

  and:  page 22, it is downhill all the way.
