a thread in honour of our departed friend minimus.
.
i’m fairly new here, and i too miss Minimus.
Maybe we will meet somewhere, someday.
No one living today can say with 100% certainty where we go when we die! That’s why i made the above statement. If you’re in heaven Minimus, ask lots of questions. God doesn’t mind! RIP

which one do you prefer?
zoom meetings or at the kingdom hall?
.
PIMO. I don’t plan on going back once the K H’s re-open. I listen in on Zoom off camera, although i’m usually surfing the internet as the meeting is going on. If i attend the Memorial, i plan to partake!
a few months back, one of my uncles who was an elder, asked the co, why jehovah would allow the door to door preaching work, to come to an abrupt end.
this was when my uncle was starting to have serious doubts about the organization.. the co told him to be patient, and hang in there, because the governing body was on top of things and in time would explain what is happening regarding the preaching work.. my uncle asked; “what do you mean?”.
co said; “focus on the wt study articles in the coming months” .
Governing Body Update #7 is out and Loesch is giving numbers that are hard to believe! I only watched a couple of minutes, he talks about meeting attendance, the ministry, (how its increased during Covid) and Memorial attendance
just saw the following you tube video.
it’s 3 hours long, but thoroughly interesting.
if you want to save yourself 3 hours, basically the active mormon church is about 3 million.
Slimboy you do good work! I yield to your good research.

Pistol pete, i know some sisters that would be upset for your rendition of the scriptures, it’s true though the large army has become large women!
Well, the bible prophesied this would happen
(Psalm 68:11) . . .Jehovah gives the command; The women proclaiming the good news are an army of large women.

We had eight congregations meeting at one double KH, with varying numbers of publishers. I think with other religions one church = one congregation. So the number of congregations is not a fair comparison. You could take one mega church and make 200 JW congregations.
The best comparison would be regular attendees. Memorial attendance can’t be used as a gauge, because at Memorial are df, inactive, polite family members, etc.

I scanned the study article mentioned. I think WT is preparing everyone for another drop in publishers. Even with all publishers qualifying to only report 15 minutes per month (this was formerly reserved for elderly or ones with health issues). At present you can report that you have time and not give an amount, this keeps the active publisher number up for the financial resolutions., which increases the amount $$$ sent to headquarters. With new activists popping up everyday, PIMO’s, and Covid, i expect numbers to be down, even with letter writing and phone witnessing.
taking the knee became popular among sportspeople immediately after the death of george floyd in may 2020.. most football (that's soccer to you yanks) players are still taking the knee before matches more than a year later.. what has it achieved?
.
what do expect it to achieve in the future?.
Colin Karpernick knelt in 2016 protesting police brutality, oppression, and racial injustice before the world ever heard of George Floyd.
after listening to the zoom meetings the past two weeks, i started to wonder, what is the real purpose for such short comments.
policy for 5 or more years now.
supposedly, it is so more can comment.

Hoser, I was counting on mid-week Zoom meeting months ago: Jehovah, over 100 times, Governing Body/Faithful & Discreet Slave, 27 times, Jesus, only twice! You guessed it, opening and closing prayer. I just shook my head, from my re-reading and new understanding of scripture, Jesus is to get more honor than what he is given. New light
