No Watchtower shipment

by LevelThePlayingField in

it was announced at our clam that there "was no shipment of the october study editions of the watchtower" and that they were asking if people could just use electronic or make their own copies.. is this just happening in ohio, or did you hear the same thing?.

I wonder what the market for second hand printing presses is like in these times?

Probably as sought after as steam loco's in the 1950's

What changes would stabilize JW membership?

by StarryNight9 in

i've seen many topics about how things are changing or might be changing in jw doctrine/culture.

some have extrapolated how those changes would result in declining jw membership.

i'm curious to know what changes others think would stabilize those numbers.

Don't give them ideas Venus.

Demography is destiny. I feel so sad for so many people without children because of this. They have so much to answer for.

Stuckin2 - encourage more births...

They shot themselves in both feet on that one with the 1987 (?) district convention script talk " responsible child bearing in this time of the end".

I personally know many who remained childles because of this.

"Become more youth fucused, losing 66%..."

That one has always really puzzeled me Joe, they are willing to expend such huge time and effort to locate and convert randomes and when one of there own blood trip and falls, they are left like an army that shoots it own wounded.

JW's Would Stay With The Org Even If 1914 Was Dropped

by pale.emperor in

i asked the question on quora: .

if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

Has anybody graphed the occurance of the term '2520" in the publications against year printed, this could be intefesting. I don't have the tools just now.
