I have noticed that the baptisms are usually right around a .03% growth rate this year. This is probably accurate for the U.S. But I suspect that in third world countries it's a lot higher and that's where they will probably get their 1.5% total growth from.

I couldn't take it anymore, although still in because of my wife, I did this...
by LevelThePlayingField ini dressed up in a hoodie, double layer so that the cameras at the kingdom hall couldn't recognize me.
i looked in the mirror up and down so i knew that the cameras, at least at the angle that i knew couldn't see my face.
i took this disassociation letter, stuck it in the envelope, labeled it, "(congregation's name...boe" by hand and sealed it.

Absolutely nothing became of it. The elders evidently never knew it was me. And now with me moving back to Chicago, hopefully they will never know.
I plan on starting my fade once I get there too.

So, yeah. I just watched this myself a few minutes ago.
Wow. So, this baby was dead on the table and the monitor said 0 Zero. That was it.
So, this intern must have said in his mind "NO F%$#CKING WAY! And decided to transfuse this baby. And THAT my friends is who you see here. This 20 year old wasn't supposed to be alive.
But she IS. She is because someone said I want to save this baby's life no matter what!!!!!
Now, if that don't move you.....nothing will.

Data-dog I agree with you. There definitely is something up. A JW could reason that it's just making use of all the seats. But why did it take all this time to determine this? And why all the sell-offs?
I mean, sure, go ahead and maximize the available seats. That's fine. But why sell all those halls? It just doesn't smack right. And when something doesn't smack right, it's not right. Right?

Thanks so much for your thoughts. After I told her the news about my job change she seemed relieved. Hopefully better times ahead.

Back in 2013/2014 if you typed in "jehovahs witnesses" into a YouTube search you would see pretty much the same old video titles, maybe a new one here or there. Now, it's new ones daily, everyday.
The hose was a sprinkler, now it's gushing.

To all Australian Elders,C.O's ect...Be warned!!!
by karter inafter the conviction of arch bishop phillip wilson for concealing sex abuse in the church and cardinal pell"s trial getting underway.. this leaves it wide open for the victims to seek redress.. if you are taken to court expect the wts to through you under a bus and wipe their hands of any blame.. if you think putting your assets in a trust or transfering them into your wife,childrens name...to late any lawyer will argue you only did that to stop any victim seeking redress.. i think the victims will all ready be contemplating their course of action and don't be surprised if court action is not far away.. karter..

There will be a cry over the next few years for "brothers to reach out", but that cry will only be answered in silence.

I've had enough and realized that her symptoms are a direct relation to the move and she cries every night about it. We are moving back to Chicago and I don't even care if this means that I will be found out who I am - giving away too many details.
I have to do what's right for my family. I found a new job in another IT company with AT&T and really can't wait for this to be over. Peace out Watchtower!
