by alanv ini have just realized that the 2021 service report figures have in fact been published.
but they are written in such a way its harder to compare.
so on the jw website, there is a tab called 'about us'.

Love one another intensely...avoid partiality
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | march 2020. study article 13. love one another intensely.
if we have intense “love for the whole association of brothers,” we will avoid being partial.

To many people are in congregations with out wanting to. Afraid of getting DF and not having contact with family. Or accepting appointments for wrong reasons. That's why this articles are total waste of time. You have to be 100% in to wake up every day and make changes you want. We'll don't matter now anyways, sure they going online and that be end of congregations. We'll probably ended with pandemic.

"In fact, after all these decades of door to door work, they barely know who JW's are and are either very open minded about them or couldn't care less about them" Org always told us that if jw stopped knocking om the doors, every one would ask were they were or why they stopped visiting. Wrong, people out in district have not even notice that jw are not out anymore.
"Like you, after 25 years active and regular at the same Hall, it took 3.5 years before anyone noticed we were gone." I always knew that is a Common reaction in KHs. Either they arre Up with there own life and don't care abouth other members. Most time they Think you stopped going to meetings cause you were living a sinful Lifestyle and were not getting holy spirit. Life in jw land.

I have learn a LOT about the religion and congregations. When I was active visiting meetings, i was there for the spiritual food. I actually thought everyone else was there for same reason ;-) I have learn there's a great variation among JWs. Lot's go to meetings just to hang around friends. Some are obligated by family or just to keep appearance. Some seem too believe 100% what GB writes. Some 50%, others just 10%. Some want appointments in congregations to control others. Some cause wife always nagging about moving forward. Others got privileges even if they didn't really want them. Some to get married. I do understand more why some JWs got irritated when you spoke about biblical matters. They probably didn't even believe in God. And there's lots more of variations then what I wrote about here. It's been a learning experience this site. One thing for sure, i don't know if I would have become a jw if internet was around when I started studying. I like to do research.

There's no Uber elders no more. Mean elders that follow GB every decision. Was proven some years ago when GB send letters to congregations that only brothers that were loving ( agape) should have appointments in congregations. Does that didn't want too were supposed to be removed as elders. CO was supposed too go out in field service with person before appointments. See if they wanted to have appointment for the right reason. GB send two letters about subject. Nothing happened. Neither elders or co were interested in obeying. GB lost control over congregations long time ago. Everyone does what they feel like. Not even gb members can agree on things. Sure looks a lot like old Rome before the fall. The infighting.

Selling 6000 kh+turning meetings to video conference+building media center= going online. Yes sound very logical. Question is when they started the plans for a on-line religion. Probably in the 90s when they started to shut down bethels in Europe. Removing printing presses. Using free labor to build halls then telling congregations to sign over there kingdom hall's to watchtower. JWs been duped. -

Well don't know if this page has tread for new years predictions or with date it starts. So might as well start now.
My new year's prediction for watchtower would be a Big Big sell out of kingdom hall's. Been two years almost with zoom meetings. Expert have predicted convid lockdown gonna go on for years. So think they gonna start selling buildings more then ever before. Maeby they speed up new media project and it becomes ready by end of 2022. Some kind of quick building. They gonna continue losing child abuse cases. Is there any good news for watchtower? Maeby GB wakes up and discover they should not give talks, cause just makes things worse. Fat chance that gonna happen.

Yeah JWs think it's gonna be a online religion. So they have started to drop all the self-righteous attitude. Mean who cares abouth that with zoom meetings. Plus you know most of the ones with cameras off are doing other things. This organisation has actually become a better place for its members. If they remove congregations and just report hours online gonna give members even more relife. Probable first time GB members take a decision thats making JWs life better.

New light and confessing to congregations.
by asp59 in2017 - wt: the gb is neither inspired or infallible and can err in doctrine and organisational matters... clearly gb have received biblical information about things that been done wrong.
not from god directly, but letters received at headquarters.
if important new light about biblical matters have come to the gb attention, why are they not telling the congregations about that information?

Clearly GB have received biblical information about things that been done wrong. Not from God directly, but letters received at headquarters. If important new light about biblical matters have come to the GB attention, why are they not telling the congregations about that information? Is it because it has too do with very important, matters regarding biblical arrangements, that GB done wrong? Is it not important that congregations know Jehovas requirements and how he views things? Are they not putting congregations in risk not confessing and repenting for what they done? I mean won't Gods anger come over everyone, cause leaders won't admit what has happened? Getting tired of there flip flopping with unimportant biblical verses the whole time, when there's clearly reason to believe this people have received important information they are trying to hide from rest of JWs.
