the previously posted wt letter of december 15, 2017 "re: 2017 service year report" was for the us congregations.. as expected the second (and third) paragraphs of the letter are being re-written to feature highlights in the local field to the congregations that it is addressed to.... hence below is what i understand to be the highlighted figures in the letter that is being sent and read out (in the first week of january 2018) to congregations in the philippines.. i believe that the philippines is traditionally one of the wt's *star performers* in terms of growth (*cough*cough* if you exclude the 1975-fallout) .

(previous year's figures in brackets) .

peak publishers: 210,914 (209,131).

i wonder how shunning goes down in the philippines. hardly a popular idea with strong family bonds there.

I've heard of some cases. They do tend to have a harder time of it than in other countries.

They impeached Clinton, but he wasn't removed. But impeaching him was a huge mistake for the country.

after moving to another country and finding a job, i asked my congregation in my country to send my publishing card here.

once i did it, i stopped attending meetings.

Difficulty fading out

by Emily1987 in

this is my first post on here so i apologize that it is like an essay!.

my husband and i are currently 'fading out' of the truth.

we stopped preaching in may 2016 and limited meeting attendance in january 2017 and stopped completely in june 2017. my main reason for this was my whole life i have been doing things to please others, even getting baptized to please my mum.

Emily1987, this may or may not be useful to you...but when I faded, I moved. It was a fast fade. In under 12 months I went from being a Ministerial Servant to being off the map entirely. But I moved to a different area, and broke off. No hassles from elders and the like. I was out of their area, and didn't return calls. Good luck to you in your fade.
