"My old congregation in West Sussex lost about 31 youths between the late 1990s and early 2000s" Same happened around my area. And almost no one from territory coming in. That's Why I think numbers in yearly report are fake. In western world with all people i know abandon religion it should be - 20% at least.

Front row seats watching the collapse of watchtower
by Indoubtbigtime ini’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.
they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.
they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.

Hellothere
Wonder how much the number of pimos has been rising last 20 years. If they don't get in people from territory in western world, then mostly are born in. With don't believe, but are dragged in by family. Pimo is not gonna donate much money. So there's the money problem. Pimo gonna deffently report lots fake hours. Even if report is bad. The actually true report is much much worse then this. When Singer Prince died he didn't have any will. He left 156 million and none of that was written as a will for watchtower. So just cause some celebrity gets in don't mean they heavy donators.

How did you find Jehovah's Witness meetings?
by Vanderhoven7 ini personally have only attended a handful of meetings at kingdom halls.
i did not enjoy any of them nor was i impressed by anything that was conveyed.
perhaps others did not find them boring as i did.. nadia viotto has this to say about her experience.

I remember beginning of 90s there's was some joy in congregation. Plus lots of young people. Lot's of congregation gatherings and fun. Then end of 90s everything changed. Like a creepy dark shadow came over congregations.

It’s started COBE asking all appointed men if they are fully vaccinated
by Indoubtbigtime inthere is a huge problem now in all congregations as the gb stubbornly will not do the u turn on staying fully vaccinated that many hoped they would do.. all congregations around the world the cobe has to ask all ministerial servants and elders if they are fully vaccinated (meaning no more than six months since last shot).
there is a massive problem now with many many jdubs not getting their latest boosters and not wanting to stay fully vaccinated .
but more serious than that is how the gb painted themselves into a corner with these vaccine mandates.. most governments did a u turn on the vax mandates but the gb can’t get out of this one so easily .

Jeremiah 17-5 "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind" Is being fulfilled more and more when it comes to this organization.

Even when you are watching Zoom meetings you need a cup of strong coffee to keep awake. Speakers sound half dead. Meetings that lack any joy. Can understand that half jws don't bother tho be there in person. No enthusiasm. And the begging for money. Like they doing a great job and deserve the donations they get 🤮

Are the statistics out yet?
by slimboyfat inisn’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?

Nothing against the Africans. But I attended chatt groups were most were African JWs. The great topic was about finding someone to marry in the western world and move from Africa. It's a traditional society. If your parents are JWs, then children must be too. Not about faith.

This comment from Reddit was interesting. They reported 119,297 congregations last year (2021).
Editing to say, Wow!!! 2022 report shows 117,960 total congregations! A 1,337 congregation decrease!!! The GB spew absolute bullshit and lies in the recent GB and broadcast updates when they talk about “needing to build new halls”.

Saw video again with Sanders. I took speaking and acting classes. There's the topic of gestures. When you meet a friend outside and talk to him. You gonna be relax and gestures are mostly done with one arm at a time. Saw video with Sanders. Most gesture we're done with both hands same time. In speaking classes it's called "double gesturing". It's mostly done by speaker when his nervous or lying. Politicians do it often when they lying. If you are regularly speaking at venues and do double gestures whole time, it's probably cause your lying 😁
