- 23 day to go .. annual meeting unofficial rumors.
- new bible.
- new nwt (revision).
I think they will launch a new explanation for some of their Revelation book interpretations. As they did last year with most of Mathew 24, they will move some Revelation fulfillments to the future. It has not much sense to link the trumpets of Revelation to some pamphlets/conventions released/held in the twenties.
Most people who “heard” those trumpets, or at least was old enough to understand the message, is dead by now. So why don’t move this to a future event?
on these links we can have a look at the french branch balance sheet, at least the ones that were submitted to the government.
i don't speak french neither i'm an accountant so maybe someone here can made a bit of more of sense out of them.

They have several of associations in France, so it is difficult to estimate how much money the make.
it seems the finland branch has taken over the work from estonia, latvia and lithuania (see http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/offices/finland/).
Recently I remembered an announcement that was made back in 2008/9 at morning worship in bethel.
A letter from the GB was read inviting all bethelites to submit ideas that save money to the organization. Also, it was said (I'm not sure if at the same letter or in another instance) that branches shouldn't keep savings higher than what they needed for 2 months of running.
I didn't thought much about this at that time but I think it explains some of the decision that have been taken recently.
Was someone else at bethel at that time that remembers this?

Hi Cedars,
I remember that when I was at Bethel I saw a list of all the branches, including some that were not publicly advertise (Turkey, Lebanon, and Malaysia).
an example on how the wt gets things out of proportion.
this is all we know about dinah's "friends" from the bible: .
"and dinah the daughter of leah, which she bare unto jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land" (ge 34:1).. wt conclusion: .
You're right Laika, they are blaming the victim with their argument.
As a child I was taught the story from that book, and even thought there were three friends, then the dvd drama enforced that idea, but if you just read the Bible you get the correct picture... not the WT picture

WT conclusion:
"DO YOU see who Di′nah is going to visit? She is going to see some of the girls who live in the land of Ca′naan. Would her father Jacob be happy about this? [...] How did all this trouble get started? It was because Di′nah made friends with people who did not obey God’s laws. We will not want to make such friends, will we?" (my story 20)
Well I suppose the WT is the only entitled to speculate...

Two years ago the yearbook related the history of the Estonia branch, first it was under the supervision of the Finland branch, then, in 1999, it became a branch, now under Finland again! http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/302011002?q=estonia&p=par#p298
