Wow... you WERE right! The KH was to teach you how to SELL!!
by ILoveTTATT in.
as you can see from the picture, in the kingdom hall there was a board with "publishers, books, booklets," etc... aparently for the entire congregation.
not sure what the other line is, maybe it is a goal?.

I've had shepherding visits when I always felt the elders were about to whip out the projector and pull up a spreadsheet graph or a bar chart and laser pointer. They certainly felt like corporate meetings sometimes.
Elder: "So why do you think your hours have not been as high for this month as they were this time last year?"
Me: "Umm.... "
Elder: "Well let's look at your hours here together. You see..."

25 YEARS of compiled yearbook statistics
by 88JM inhello again folks - as promised in my last thread here, i've been working on turning yearbook statistics into excel spreadsheets.. coincidentally, today is my 25th birthday (spare a thought for a fader).. i've now updated the spreadsheet with yearbook data all the way back to 1988 (the year i was born), therefore it now contains 25 years of statistics.. there were a lot of countries changing around and for some it was possible to create a continuation of data.
some are a simple change of name like south-west africa to namibia.
others, for example - in 1993 with czechoslovakia splitting into two countries (czech republic and slovakia) i have added an extra row that provides a continuation of the data, combining czech republic and slovakia back together as if they were still one country.

Nothing leaping out at me yet, beyond what's been said already. Must be the first year I've seen where there are hardly any country name changes, or merging/splitting. Let's hear it for world peace!
Eastern europe is definitely stagnating/in decline for the JW's:
Latvia: -2%
Poland: -1%
Croatia: -1%
Moldova: -1%
Estonia: -1%
Bosnia and Herzegovina: -1%
Greece: -1%
Hungary: 0% (decreased)
Czech Republic: 0% (decreased)
Germany: 0% (decreased)

Thanks jwfacts - yes, I've seen the excellent resources there before - very useful indeed. I see it does cover the grand totals, though not the country by country breakdown.
Anyway, I've now updated my previous spreadsheets with the new 2013 Yearbook data - it now contains 26 years of statistics.
As before, there are two files for download, the second being the more useful one to most of you.

As before, the second .xls file has each statistic field in a separate tab with each year in a column, and is far more useful for year-by-year graphs etc. I've also included the additional sheets on the end, giving examples of the sorts of calculations that are possible with the data (e.g. Bible Studies per Publisher).

The new light changes from the draw close to Jehovah printed form vs online form.
by EndofMysteries inthe changes are in paragraph 7 and 8 in the first chapter of draw close to jehovah book, and i fail to see any doctrine change, only the gb trying to cover up possible mistakes they've made and potential embarrassment of worldly sources knowing what jehovah's name means while they were wrong.
let's examine this new light they quote with this letter.
let's see a word for word comparison on what many will be talking about in meetings about the wonderful new light and evidence that they are the faithful slave...... .

At the meeting here last night, this all went a bit balls-up. The elders here are all a bit slow, and they must have only seen the letter online sometime earlier this week. I think they maybe phoned up one or two, but certainly not everyone.
So when it came to the meeting last night, most people were sat there with the old book and nothing else. The conductor had printed out paragaphs 7 and 8 for the reader, and mentioned there were some "updates online" at the start of the study. When it came to those paragraphs, there were some very confused looks, as people sat there with the old version were having trouble following along and it made the differences really apparent. Even funnier, when it came to the question about God's name, the conductor still asked question from the old version: "What does God's name literally mean?"
I guess it wasn't all that grievous as the changes were pretty minor, but it was an interesting view into the future perhaps, where those who haven't got their latest "online new-light update" are left behind in the dust with "old light". There are quite a few in the congregation here who don't have internet access at all. And if an entire congregation misses out, there can effectively be congregations going apostate without even realising it!
