  Atlantis, I wish I could get the video, but I don't have access to the source and I lack the skills. I just watched it at the meeting.

  Jp, the wt definition of an overcrowded auditorium is one that has 5,6 or more congregations assigned to it. So if a hall has four Spanish congregations and an English congregation, the four Spanish can be combined into three larger congregations, leaving only four congregations total, and then that hall is no longer considered overcrowded. But the effect is that seating is more crowded with larger congregations. The same number of people, maybe more, still use the kh.

  This sounds like the video that was just shown at the CLAM this past week in the US to replace the April local needs talk.

  In that video they showed that there had been 55 overcrowded K Halls with5 or more congregations in the Los Angeles area. This was greatly reduced by combining congregations, which means they eliminated each 4th congregation and sent the orphans to neighboring congregations. The video also said that 20 k holes were built by LDCs in the entire US in 2017.

  hi all, anybody any anecdotal or actual idea of how attendance numbers went this year ?.

  there are hints that it is well down, but is it ?

  and if it is, will the borg stop crowing about the attendance as they always have ?.

  Here in my area of the US it was 128 in 2017 and 124 in 2018. The speaker was hoping that there would be more since it was on a Saturday night. He didn’t explain his logic.

  He also said he thought this would be offset by the huge increases in Africa. For example, Zambia saw an increase from 700,000 in 2016 to 800,000 in 2017. That increase of 100,000 was greater than the increase for the entire world attendance of only 90,000. So all the other countries besides Zambia, if combined, saw a drop of about 10,000 in 2017. The GB might be praying that Zambia came through for them again in 2018.

  I feel sad for the father who is being shunned and whose wife took their 10 kids on vacation to a cult compound thousands of miles away, where people consider them all fatherless boys, even if some of them are girls.

  They only need to keep a few mega branches, like Germany, Japan, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico. The rest are dispensible.

  You MUST Sign the Data Collection Form "...obey...whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.¨"

  by gone for good in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the many and complex issues surrounding the collection of person data and new laws aiming to protect individuals control of their own privacy, seem to have hatched about the same time as the governing body expressed their hope that it´s own 8 million would obey their order to "sign this form" effectively transfering total authority over privacy and data issues over to the borg.. what are your thoughts on this coincidence?.

  zuckerberg lost billion$$ when people realized that he had prostituted their personal data and now wt wants the same signed access that he had to info that is $$$.... wt already owns all the real estate and now wants to own all the data.... it´s a current and global issue - please share your thought with the rest of us here.. .

  Why should you be required to give them your personal information when they don’t even disclosed how they use their members’ donations? They don’t deserve valuable things, including valuable data.

  I agree with Phizzy that this can backfire. It is very patronizing for the English pioneers and their families to presume that they can communicate the message to Irish people better than the Irish themselves. I have see this elsewhere, where exemplary pioneers are invited to to work a campaign in another part of their own country. A local pioneer was offended because she felt that the target territory was already overworked, that they had worn out their welcome. But she didn't quit in protest, since it would weaken her husband's position as elder.

  The strange case of Gerrit Losch

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the recent molest cases had a signed declaration of gerrit losch, stating he has no relation with watchtower and that he has no control over watchtower and he does not answer to watchtower.. this month he is hosting the watchtower broadcasting show, on a watchtower media chanel, with a watchtower president starring as co-host, with statements, media and music that have intellectual ownership and copyright by watchtower.. gerrit is asking on broadcasting for respect for “the slave”, just like jehova and jesus respect “the slave” and will even reward them.. are the writers of the statement too stupid to see the correlation between teaching and practicing?.

  these man are proven liars.. how can hold this firewall stand?

  it’s so thin.. a judge can see this mismach isn’t it??.

  It is interesting to see the GB members getting entangled in court cases one by one. Loesch had to lie his way out of the Padron case in San Diego, putting him on public record as denying the very position he is demanding respect and trust for in this month’s broadcast.

  Jackson had to testify in Australia to avoid arrest for contempt of court, then lie about his true position.

  Sanderson made quite a show attending the extremism hearings in Russia, then fled the country as soon as the JWs were banned, leaving the Russian JWs to suffer for decisions he and his cohorts have made. The Russian court only had to call two witnesses to demonstrate the extremism of the JW organization. One was a woman who had to flee an abusive JW husband then was shunned and the other was a man who had to forego an education as a result of the pressure the org puts on people to avoid education. They don’t want these aspects of the case to be discussed among their followers.

  I would like to see the Canadian Supreme Court subpoena Splane, the Canadian member, to answer for the policy of shunning in the case there.

  Each one of them should have to answer for their actions in a court of law. Shame on them.

  March 2018 Broadcast - When quotes become rumors

  by Listener in

  this months broadcast is presented by losche and he discusses the need for trust in the fds.

  the following is transcribed from the 12.30 mark.. satan also has the scheme to spread rumors about our brothers including the faithful slave.

  the method of spreading rumors is not new.

  Since Loesch references court cases plural, another court case he might be referencing is the Osbaldo Padron case in San Diego where Loesch himself tried to hide his relationship with wt. It is interesting that his sidekick for the broadcast is Leon Weaver, the new President of the Pennsylvania Corporation. I guess since that case is now closed he can show just how close he is to the corporation.
