This a question more out of curiosity, because we have not stepped foot in a KH in 3 years.
How is the attendance at the meetings/assemblies? I know the answer will vary due to location.
Are you (especially Elders) receiving any notification or communication from Bethel or CO's that there is an upsurge of people that are simply disappearing or out right dis associating?
Thanks, in advance, for your feedback!
I'd like to know the answer to that also. After all, in just the last 25 days there have been 95 new ones registered at this site. That doesn't count lurkers....................things are not as they seem in JEHOVAH'S WITNESS LAND!
Most jws are desperate, desperately broke and no hope except of a new system. No friends out side the Borg so really nowhere to go. They hang on out of this desperation and so people don't leave in huge numbers like we would hope. Its the trickle effect, new ones leave after seeing the love bomb where off. Kids leave that are driven, the non driven stay. People who are treated badly also leave.
I think times will get rougher for the Borg and theyll make adjustments to try to stop the loses but in the end it will make it worse. Their doing some of this now but reality of the world is waking up even the stupid ones. Evolution was proven a fact back in 2004 so people are leaving religion in mass.
In my congregation I believe there are 52 publishers give or take a few. During the weekly meeting perhaps half of that number show up, yes half. Weekend meeting averages about 85. People love Sunday church!
The hall can easily seat 130 so yeah even before I became very irregular I noticed the sharp decline.
The few times I've visited on the weekend I can't recognize half the people. So who knows if they are asking other congos to make it look more impressive. Sounds far-fetched but it is the WT we are dealing with here.
