i 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.

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 🤮

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?

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.

Naw worldwide pandemic is a Dream scenario for end of world cults. If they couldn't boost their numbers now, they never will. Bet next 5 years gonna be catastrophic for watchtower.

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 😁

It's little strange how watchtower warns about material things, fame and careers. JWs hear that message for decades in their kingdom Hall's. But as soon as famous person gets baptised they all go crazy with admiration on social media 😁. That's what i always say about JWs and their meetings...it goes in one ear and out other.

In reality watchtower should have been doing great under Covid. All this last days cults do great when there's a great tragedy in the world. That's when they pump up end of days scenarios and former members come back to the group. Could it be situation for former members is the same that many on zoomr have this day's. That they don't care what GB watchtower tells them? Complicated for watchtower if the fearmongering tactics are not working anymore.

Well them boasting about imaginary bible study's but not mention anything about yearly report can only mean one thing. The numbers for 2022 or not gonna be good. Only reason they wanted too get everyone "excited" and "trilled" about bible study's, Norway and piooner hours must be the bad news that coming with yearly report.
