anything that means that they have fewer khs must be good for the future .its almost as though they are trying to make it more difficult for new people to get to a kingdom hall

Predictions for the next decade?
by jehovaxx inas it’s nearly the new year my prediction over the next decade or so will see the sense of urgency dwindle.
then some huge huge changes.
for example by 2034 in a decades time, they will have address the 1914 issue and will come out and say we can’t be dogmatic.

the watchtower will be more online as the numbers will decline as has happened in christian churches so kingdom halls will start to close and that will make it even more unlikly that new people will start to go to kingdom halls as the distance gets further and further

“You know how I know that they're finished out there? The carts.”
by Athanasius inthe watchtower's many legal problems and the jws' use of carts in their preaching work, reminded me of a scene and dialog from the film patton.. in a scene where patton is viewing a battle site the morning after, he says to an aide about the nazis: “you know how i know that they're finished out there?
in my dreams i saw the carts.
they kept buzzing around in my head and i couldn't figure out why.

they are giving people the choice,if people want to stand at a trolley for 60 hours a month then they can. and like simon said 4 years ago you dont have to make massive changes to have an effect. i went to a big city a few weeks ago and they had five cats in the city centre and they all had only magazines printed in 2021 and 2020 and then i went out of the city into the suberbs and a cart had magazines from 2019 and 2015

What If The Tower Fell?
by Big Dog inwhat if the truly unthinkable happened and the tower went down?
perhaps the irs swooped in and claimed fraud and padlocked the headquarters and kingdom hall doors?
or the gb took the money and ran to a nice non-extradition country to live out their years?

the watchtower is falling now in 2012 the watchtower closed 20 branch offices around the world and have cut back vastly on the magazines rather than new ones every month they are only 4 times a year or so and on the carts these past few week they were giving out magazines printed in 2021 and 2020.and of course they have sols of 1,000s of kingdom halls off

Thought on “0 hours” reporting
by FFGhost inso everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.
beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.
the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

in a big city with over a million people the jws had 4 or 5 trolleys going and they all had magazines printed in either 2021 or 2020.
why i think the watchtower is going for zero hours is so that they do not have to print as many magazines each time so saving money.because if you are going from door to door you are more likly to give out magazines or even single page tracts that they fold up (these days) but most people on the trolleys they just stand there by the trolley with nothing to hand. and if the numbers do go down in a country i dont think the corporation is really bothered esp if ut is in a western country where they can sell off the kingdom hall
