Sounds interesting. Thank you and welcome.
Should we start a thread with sold kingdomhalls to collect them? Only time of sale, maybe a link to a press-articel? Could be an interesting collection.
sri lanka has only one convention hall which is situated at 44, agaraduguru mawatha,ekala,ja-ela wp.
this was built on some where around 1990's.
now the sri lanka branch committee has decided to sale the property.what is the reason behind this??????????????
Sounds interesting. Thank you and welcome.

so my handle has a typo, it is supposed to be never allowed to be myself but i'm okay with that because it is kind of symbolic of my situation.
as a born-in i have always had expectations forced on me, this is what you are to think, feel and do as a jehovah's witness.
my earliest memories involve being upset that i would die at armageddon because i was bad.
Welcome.
I also fight with beeing myself. So much new. On the other site, who I am? Then go back to the other site and fake to be a beliver.
So I wish you the best. Keep fighting!
i don't believe it, but it is on jw broadcasting: how to make memorial bread.. it is just like the 24/kitchen broadcasting.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodministry/pub-jwbrd_201603_2_video.
jehovah`s witnesses claim to be a christian religion , however looking at their history , publications ,such as the watchtower and awake mags., their conventions ,international ,regional ,local ,etc.their books pamphlets ,brochures ,etc.etc.
you are hard pressed to find references to the new testament and references to jesus and his ministry .. they seem to be more focused on the old testament , and the god of the old testament.jehovah.
even in their dramas at conventions , international and local events they are pre-occupied with old testament accounts and experiences , and not christian experiences , examples or ,lives to emulate .. they claim to be a christian religion and very seldom do they highlight the name of jesus , or his teachings , they are fixed on the old testament name of jehovah , and what he did in the old testament.
The old testament based on fear, death and a leader on earth.
The new testament based on love, brotherhood and a leader in heaven who give you not much rules.
So, if you try to build up a hi-control pseudo-religion, based on fear, you have to use the old testament.
my contacts are assisting in this effort but the more people the better!.
.. information needed in assisting barbara anderson with arc... barbara needed a boe for arc and i have already sent it to her so that problem is solved.
however we are in need of the following information:.
i have seen a few posts here, in various guises, in relation to whether watchtower is in decline.
plenty of people respond, but it is all fairly anecdotal, or "gut feel".
some of it has been wishful thinking.. as of late 2015, watchtower's numbers suggest it is still growing marginally, but there are various anecdotes on this site of publishers typically being older, and younger ones disappearing.
Im not sure what you looking for. The growth/decline of a group like JW depends on scandals, teachings and much more. So I don't think that it make much sense to collect the data.
But if you need numbers, maybe this is interesting, only germany:
From 2007-2015:
- they merged 276 congs to 138 congs
- they build 116 language-congs
- build 5 new congs
- build signlanguage-congs
I think main part is to find, how they fake the statistic. The language-cong save the statistic, but mostly there not much new people.
So if you start to calculate, you base it on the 8 Mill witnesses, first you have to start there and find some Information if 8 Mill is nearly correct.
12yo? Crazy.
And 13 df? What a crazy cong. Looks like a group of lovely elders run the cong.
and i couldnt be more prouder in my life!!!!!!!
