by wifibandit inpdf .
this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

Speculation on future donation arrangements
by respectful_observer inin the aftermath of this year's annual meeting and the recent tremors of cash shortfalls within the organization, i began thinking "what could they do next to bring in more $$$.".
many here have speculated that we're seeing incremental moves toward "tithing" (of course they would never call it that).
a recent thread (can't find it right now) highlighted that they recently raised the "suggested per publisher donation" at the circuit assembly significantly (tripled it?)..

by thedepressedsoul inmany people think that wt is a publishing company and at one time that was true.
however, they are slowly fading that out into more digital publications.

My jw used to feel very strongly about televangelism, how will the r & f justify this in their heads? to me it is no different. Am I way off here? won't some of the older jw's also see it as move towards televangelism? -

Assembly next weekend
by Deltawave inso we have another assembly upon us next week and everyone is excited because.... it means no thursday meeting and no sunday meeting either.
i have to say it intrigues me how happy very dedicated witness's are about the week of freedom.
i jokingly said.... shouldn't we all be sad their is no meeting.. and the reply was "we should be but it's great isn't it!

What is the reason they don't have regular meetings when an assembly is coming up? Not that I mind, just wondering. I would think keeping the midweek & Sun meeting plus the 3 days of mind numbing dribble would make them extra dubby for quite some time. -
