  Some data that shows there is no growth. The constituencies in 2015 were 182, in 2024 there are 172. The publishers in 2015 were 251,650 while in 2024 we reached a maximum of 251,604.

  To be positive the numbers are stagnant or have reached the plateau and are slightly declining. Strangely enough, every Bethelite felt the need to say that God is blessing in Italy because there is great growth, but no one anymore believes what they say from the podium and the data speaks clearly.

  On May 4-11, 2024 we had Brother Warren Shewfelt visit the Italian Branch. On May 11th a meeting was held for all the kingdom halls in Italy. Brother Shewfelt is also Canadian like brothers Boscaino and Cicciù who are at the head of the Italian branch after the scandals of the 2000s, in which many Bethelites had to leave Bethel and the governing body took matters into their own hands.

  Pompous meeting in which it was repeated that Jehovah blesses, but in reality the numbers are decreasing throughout Italy

  Assembly with the branch representative

  by LaFrancia in

  2. experiences

  we had the meeting with the branch representative this weekend.. the air was different than usual.. bearded ushers at the parking lots welcomed the brothers warmly.. lots of sisters with dress pants or not, nothing scandalous.. the representative of the italian branch made his debut on stage with his full beard.. location: roseto degli abruzzi (italy-europe).

  some interesting statistical data can give a little food for thought after the numerous changes that have occurred in recent months (the ten-year or five-year plan, if you prefer, seems to be producing some small results).. attendance has increased since the last meeting.. our constituency includes 1725 publishers and those present in the morning were 1553, a little better than the november 2023 convention.

  perhaps the new changes have brought some back to attendance?.

  We still haven't managed to reach the pre-covid numbers, some empty seats in the auditorium could also be seen from the podium.

  The collapse of the baptized continues, in the past they were between 5-8 in these assemblies, but it is recovering. 4 baptized in total, including 2 teenagers and 2 adults. The new fashion of baptizing minors is confirmed.

  The representative of the Branch was Brother Spina a bearded JW.

  Beware of someone who will "cry wolf"!

  the following is an excerpt from one of aesop's fables.. the boy who cried "wolf"!.

  there once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep.

  to amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "wolf!

  in my opinion a Bethelite cannot bring extraordinary proof otherwise he will be discovered by Bethel's spies and executioners.

  It's about INTELLIGENCE, see in Russia when the Americans warned of an imminent terrorist attack. What evidence did they provide the Russians? They could only warn because they had information from their infiltrators or their contacts.

  I may be wrong, but it is correct to inform then everyone must make their own assessments, we must not believe everything obviously, but not even the opposite

  The "10 Year Plan" - What is the realistic outcome?

  by redsetter2 in

  as there has been some discussion calling bs on this topic, .

  i will paste the text from my 10 year plan post and i will critically evaluate how i feel things will turn out.

  i will add bold italics my thoughts.. the governing body has a 10-year marketing plan to remodel the organization to become closer to a mainstream christian religion.

  Thanks for the info redsetter2. So do you confirm 2 changes for October 2024?

  I hope they concern the C/O and the meetings, now they have become boring and full of internal propaganda.
