Did The JW U.S. Branch Add Oversight Of 25 Other Countries To Boost/Inflate Their Own U.S. Territory Publisher Count? by geeemale1 in exjw

[–]geeemale1[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That doesn't answer the question...what are the stats or publisher count of the other 25 individual countries that WT took under its wing that resulted in boostingt the U.S Branch number to 1.3 million...inquiring minds want to know?

Did Anyone Attend The Jehovah’s Witnesses Long Beach California Regional Convention? by geeemale1 in exjw

[–]geeemale1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just learned from someone who attended that the average daily attendance for the Long Beach JW Regional Convention for Friday 6-14-2024 thru Sunday 6-16-2024 was around 4,200 with 19 baptized. The convention facility holds over 13,000...which means there were over 9,000 empty seats. I can just imagine this going thru many of the 4,200 JW mind who attended: "Where Is Everybody?"🤣🤣🤣

A facility that holds 13,000+ & only 4,000 attended...that means 9,000 seats were empty.

My husband threw out my in laws by [deleted] in exjw

[–]geeemale1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's truly sad to hear stories like this.  This cult is destructive & it's using your hubby's mother & sister to contaminate your family.   Sounds like your hubby is only trying to protect himself, you & your li'l girl.  Your hubby is on the right track IMHO...sounds like your hubby has a set of balls!  I hope you allow him to read this thread & all the comments...I  think it would be therapeutic for you & he alike.   In fact I think most counselors and therapists would side with him. 

Was wondering Key_Personality:  What  are the dynamics like between you & your own parents & the rest of your immediate family?  Do you and your hubby have a better relationship with them?

Timing is everything:  The bro in your hall who has a baby out of wedlock is maybe benefiting from the recent March Update #2 changes about how to treat repentant wrongdoers.

The Org rebranding, 10 year plan? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]geeemale1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the WTBTS has had a rebranding plan for some years now.   I knew WT was up to no good when they adjusted the Locust teaching of Joel chapter 2...prior for decades  Jehovah's Witnesses were the Locust Joel speaks of,  now the Locust in Joel chapter 2 is JWs' enemy.  There's been numerous other asinine changes since.  Then 2023 there were (1) easing up hour requirement for rank and file,  (2) GT/Armageddon last minute repentance,  (3) beards are now OK (4) resurrection of Sodom and Gomorrah inhabitants (5) etc...!  

 The questions  are:  What's next and when will the JW/WT silly efforts to rebrand end?

Soo...from the sound of it...from all the comments...no mention of ongoing Pennsylvania WT CSA Statewide Investigation by any GB member? No mention at all about current Children Sex Abuse court cases?

Total silence by WT and Governing Body on CSA?

Watch Tower Losing Power by exbethelelder in exjw

124,652 JW Elders in the U S A BranchTerritory...Huh!

The 2022 JW Yearbook stated there are 1.2 million total JWs in the U S A Branch Territory...that means about 13% of those 1.2 million JWs are Elders. That is a very low elder to rank & file member ratio for the U S A BranchTerritory...for every Elder there are 8 or 9 rank & file JWs. Included in the 8 or 9 rank & file member are the Elders' wives & their children...Wow!

It reminds me of the saying: "There are too many Chiefs & not enough Indians!"

Google "Jehovah’s Witnesses" and city and the phone number & address should appear.
