Faith deludes, science does not lie :-)
The facts hurt!
i am surprised i have not noticed this before, particularly since this is one of the most important statistics, and so have just added the new graphs to watchtower publisher statistics.. the number of bible studies generally trends roughly with the number of publishers on a one to one basis.
however, the number of baptisms has not been rising.
this has resulted in a rapidly falling conversion rate.

good day everyone,.
i'm a born in jehovah's hostage, and am still a hostage until i can wake my family up (wishful thinking i know).
i'll formally introduce myself later.. for now i have some burning concerns about the service meeting part for the week of december 24, 2012.
Cedars, that's profound, 52.98%. If everyone who runs a website exposing the cult makes sure most content uses terms dubs would be likely to search for, and that their website is search engine friendly, soon the official propaganda and information spinsite will be lost in a sea of links exposing the TATT. Even the most hardcore hostages will be forced to take just a little peak in an attempt to discredit it. When the situation reaches critical mass we may just have a massive prison break from the Matrix, bigger than the 1975 exodus.

2012 memorial partakers total 12,604.....atlantis
No wonder there was need for New Light ™ which renders the 'opinion's' of the 'anointed' of no consequence. I've never heard a satisfactory explanation as to WHY the figures have been increasing. It was a gaping hole in hull of the SS WBTS and needed to be plugged for many years. I wonder how long it is until they have New Light ™ mandating that the total partaker figures no longer be published.
Or maybe they will slyly decide to publish only the local totals, making it hard for people to tabulate worldwide.
good day everyone,.

Thanks for all the welcomes and love shown so far. I look forward to many more posts and to shareing my story, and in helping in what ever way I can to expose the cult.
in another wacky example of cult speak the society slams ambition.

Thanks whathappened! I've been lurking here a while, drowning in dissonance, and deeply perturbed by the tightening grip of the Corporation. I had to sign up and start posting!

unstopableravens I wouldn't be suprised if the internet traffic at bethel branches IS monitored. They are afraid of dissent, especially among the 'higher up' slaves.

DesirousOfChange, I agree with you on the obvious issues the Corporation is having with the internet.
I also think though that there is now the additional risk of dubs who previously did not give a damn about the computer (computer illiterate and older ones especially) now feeling it is the 'in thing to do' since it's direct orders from the society. With those ones feeling the need to use the internet it opens up the opportunity for greater mistakes to be made from mis-spelling etc. For instance I know quite a few dubs who type the name of the website into the address bar with out the domain extensions (.com, .net, .org etc) and are led to a results page from which they select a link.
I just tried an experiment: I put "jw org" in my address bar, which was automatically handled by Google and returned 3 official and 3 anti dub links.
Forgive me if I'm being naive, but I think this has the potential to wake up many over a long period of time.
What might even be more effective is installing extentions on the computers of not so savy dubs which redirect them to sites like this when they put in jw.org :-)
