SERVICE REPORT 2005 : WATCHTOWER FEB 1ST 2006
by BluesBrother ini have had a quick look and found no references to this, so - here goes..as in the mag we picked up on sunday.. worldwide % increase over 2004 = 1.3%.
memorial partakers 8524 (compared to 8570 in 2004).
most european and nth american lands show pretty static figs - britain 1% increase, canada 0%, germany 0%, france 1%, usa 0%... but spare a thought for the inhabitants of zambia where 1 person in 90 is a reporting witness, must be hell going down to the local market!

HERE'S WHAT THE BIG SURPRISE IS.....
by dinosoarmiteatyahoo inbarbara was seeking contacts in other nations so this may have been to confirm that something going on was and is going on internationally.
this means that the "evidence" she needed and had was focused on the u.s. branch so that she needed the confirmation for other nations as well.
meanwhile bill bowen was gone an unusually long period of time from his website.

i am interested in supporting the "big news" news blitz by coordinating a clearing house of jw email addresses.

Are JW's too paralyzed to leave?
by moshe ini was contemplating how bad the news will have to be to get the jw's to quit the organization.
then i remembered hurricane katrina and all the people trapped in the superdome for days on end.
one guy acted on his own and stole a school bus to rescue a group and take them to houston.

The Way of the Dhamma
by Reluctant Buddha inthe dhammapada"the path of the dhamma".
the dhammapada consists of 423 verses in pali uttered by the buddha on some 305 occasions for the benefit of a wide range of sentient beings.
these sayings were selected and compiled into one book as being unusually worthy of attention because of their beauty and relevance in preparing future buddhas.

Filling the Void
by demeter inwhat do you think has been the most helpful thing you have read, heard, or learned lately?
what helps you get along in a post-jw life?.
i think the reason people go back to an organization that they once rejected is that they find a void and have no experience with filling it.. what do you do to make a new social life?.
