I think in my opinion no one under 18 should get baptized.. If they tell us that for us to wait to be 18 to make our own decision why do we need to get baptized under 18 when it actually isn't their decision, it's the parents and elders. Getting baptized has to be decided by the person and no one else even parents or elders should pressure just because it's there child... Once he/she is 18 and wants to get baptized as JW hey at least it's there decision. There is a reason why Jesus Christ got baptized at 33... Even as a Elder I always try to tell parents wait until they're old enough to make a decision (which is 18 hahaha)

The number is actually going down then up, yea it went up but only by 100,000 while there was 300,000 so that means 200,000 left the organization. That is very high for many leaving lol
I bet several will see that, if 300,000 were baptized and previous year were at 8,500 or so and we only grew to 8,600. They will calculate that 200,000 left... Enough for someone to think and investigate why so many left.

"I can see that happening at a rented facility, but when it comes to a 'memorial' at the Hall, there is officially supposed to be only an approved Elder giving the talk, only the current approved outline, only one interviewee, if at all, and only official recordings from the current song book. Unless this is fresh off an email new direction from HQ, this is definitely not kosher!"
No this is not true, even a memorial at a hall a regular Publisher can give the talk, for my grandmas funeral service at the Hall it was a brother our family knew for a very long time he use to be a Elder severals ago but was still approved to give the talk...

I have heard that they have said to use the jw code or say you are a jw because they get reward points and that helps bring rates down? I think this is to get free rooms for the higher-ups in Warwick right?

by sir82 inif you are a jw in the us or canada, you probably already know about "khconf".

It was on the announcements of October 2019:
Congregation Conferencing Services: The branch office is taking steps to standardize the electronic services used to deliver spiritual programs to congregations and publishers. Beginning November 1, 2019, the integrated audio and video-streaming and digital telephone answering services known as KHCONF (currently used by congregations in the U.S. branch territory) will be provided directly by the branch office. This does not affect the video-streaming service that sign-language congregations currently use. Further details will be provided regarding how congregations can show their appreciation for this arrangement.
Congregations who desire conferencing services are encouraged to utilize KHCONF. These consolidated arrangements will result in significant savings for congregations and the organization. Please submit any questions, technical support requests, and new service requests to KHCONF.US@bethel.jw.org using jw.borg e-mail.
To the extent possible, publishers benefitting from this provision should be encouraged to connect to meetings using the KHCONF app on their computer or mobile device. It may be necessary to assist publishers in using the app. Such efforts will result in additional savings for the organization.
Congregations who currently subscribe to KHCONF will continue to use the same connection information. In order to ensure a smooth transition, please confirm that any KHCONF invoices received before November 1, 2019, are paid.
