Mexico branch......Now closing!!!

by krismalone in

a circuit overseer friend of mine serving in latin america called me today to say hi.

i asked him what's new and he dropped the news that they have received notification that the branch in mexico will be closing!!

this branch also called the central american branch (although located in mexico) oversees all of mexico's 800,000+ publishers plus all 7 countries of central america of over 100,000 publishers.

This is just a rumor at this point, of course.

However, it does make sense.

Compared to 10 years ago, the Organization is printing something like 60% less magazines a year, not to mention the diminished demand that exists in developed nations due to the push for digital adaptation. I bet they could print 90% of the worldwide demand for literature in New York alone.

As far as the CO thing, it could have a grain of truth, however I think a little may have been lost in translation. Perhaps they're reorganizing the CO structure and will have a Pioneer Elder that is assigned to a certain geographic region.

AND STILL NO RELEASE OF THE 2017 JW YEARBOOK

by steve2 in

here we are on the cusp of the new year, and the 2017 yearbook of jws has still not been released.

jw.org continues to feature the 2016 yearbook in its list of main publications.

in previous years, the upcoming yearbook's annual report on jws was released in november for the january 1st then the feb 1st watchtower, then earlier in december when it was only featured in the yearbook, then more recently with a couple of days of december 25th.

The 2016 Yearbook became available for download on December 25, 2015

The 2015 Yearbook became available for download on January 5, 2015

Any talk of a "delay" isn't rational based on the record. It's not unprecedented for the yearbook to be released even after the first of the year.

on december 12, 2015 this statement was made by the copyright holder:.

i am presently considering three different routes to publishing crisis of conscience.

i hope to make a decision within days and plan to publish within weeks.. it has now been 50 weeks since that statement.. has the book been published yet?

Jehalapeno

I have some confidence that this is being dealt with honestly.

But, JWdaughter, you also have confidence that Islam is the one true religion. Therefore, how can your judgment be taken seriously?

One year, to the date, now.

I hoped I was missing something and that it was published. Disappointed, though, that my suspicions were correct.

I just read most of your responses, and I agree with most of you. The delay is disappointing and strange.

I don't really give any credence to the conspiracy theories of it's publication being suppressed by watchtower. The "theory," actually it's a hypothesis, is based on pure conjecture and speculation, not any verifiable evidence.

Let's hope for the best. I won't encourage piracy in the meantime, but I won't discourage or condemn it either. lol

cleveland ohio CONvention results

by nowwhat? in

7300 attendance 24 baptised an astonishing .038 percent growth!!

i wasn't there so don't ask details..

Jehalapeno

Nice, although your math is wrong.

24 is .329% of 7,300.

24 / 7,300 = 0.00328767 * 100 = 0.328767 round to 3 decimals and you get .329...that is your percentage

Oh no Dan 2.44 is being fulfilled. My ex told me so it must be true.

by KateWild in

so my 14 yr old son and i are sitting discussing the eu election vote, and joking around that the we could see a future with donald trump and boris johnson being the uk and us leaders.

we were swapping pictures and jokes from facebook.. but his dad is sitting there waiting until we leave, and comes out with "well daniel 2.44" which reads.......... "and in the days of those kings the god of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.

and the kingdom itself will not be passed onto any other people.
