Even though retention might be 2/3 in the US (as shown by studies), it does not necessarily mean it is the same worldwide...

Name "UNWRITTEN" Rules That JWs Are Supposed To Follow
by minimus inas with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.
here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.
jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".

Lucky Scandinavian sisters.... They might go to Magix Mike XXL then, since in Norway it is allowed for all ages... whereas in the US it is a big no no since it is an R-rated film... Oops, of course their bible trained conscience would of course not allow them to go anyway. -
Magix Mike XXL
by InquiryMan ininterestingly, this film has an r-rating in the us, whereas in norway it is allowed for all to watch.... most films have either a 11 year or 15 year age limit.
however, this is rated as acceptable for all...

Has there been new counsel about Facebook recently?
by purrpurr ini've noticed increasing amounts of jw's are coming off fb and deactivating completely.
all with the same reason which they post about at lenght which is that they wwant to focus more on their spiritual life and not have the distraction of fb.. have i missed something or is this just a coincidence?.

Cart Witnessing - Thrilling! Productive! Epic! Er.....um, well, not so much.....
by sir82 intalked with a pioneer recently, she was recounting her first experience with cart witnessing.. she brought the subject up, was going on & on & on & on about how wonderful the experience was, and how great, and how she enjoyed it so much, and it was so wonderful, and oh jehovah's blessing, and on and on and on...... a few questions to her revealed what really happened:.
-- a jw who owns a small restaurant in a strip mall allows jws to set up their cart outside his restaurant.
-- the restaurant is tucked pretty far out of the way, not prominent at all.

I definitely know, having been one for 30 years, and also visiting numeral kingdom halls, branches in several countries. However, I am somewhat surprised in a way that they would expect a non-witness with no previous connection (on the most part) to go to an assembly 15 hours drive away... But, it is not the main reason I guess.
It is to keep the Jws busy as well as making them visible in their neighborhoods making known their activities and arrangements.
Also refreshing to see a picture of two pioneers that are not styled the way they are in the JW literature.
