Does the WTBTS publish DA statistics?
by Pwned ini was just wondering what the statistics are since around 2000 when the internet really took hold.
i know when i was going to meetings 1977-1995 da announcements were almost unheard of and from the anecdotal evidence from this site it seems like it is commonplace.
would most of you who still actually attend feel that there has been a significant increase in da in the last 5-10 years or was my congregation back in the day just weird?

POLL - How many elders/MS/microphone passers/literature slingers/sound guys
by Pwned in.
i've noticed there are a lot of jw's in good standing on here these days... i know its a small sample but it seems promising.. any current circuit overseers/district overseers post on here, that would be crazy.
i think its pretty cool actually

spanish congregations vs english
by Pwned in(i dont mean the countries - grammar nazis, please dont flame).
i dont know how many of you attended a spanish speaking hall like i did but in my experience and from reading people's posts i think that there are some pretty big differences.
1. spanish congs are more liberal .

If the WTBTS knew then what it knows now...
by Pwned inwould the internet have been banned ouright from the beginning?
it seems like they have been trying to reign in control of jw's use of the internet for the last few years but pandora's box has already been opened.
if they had just banned it from the beginning many dubs would have been afraid that if they went on the ineternet they would immediately be possesed by demons.

WHY do they stay?!?!
by Pwned ini just dont get how people can stay in a religion that constantly changes the "truth".
never mind the scandals, that is a seperate issue.
but the foundation of a religion is its doctrine, how can you believe an organiztion that constantly changes it.

A 1914 generation question
by Pwned ini was around in 1995, barely, but i dont remember any talks or articles where the new light about the generation of 1914. did they change w/o coming right out and saying so,or was there a talk.
especially in regards to the mission statement or whatever in the awake, did they make an announcement or did they just hope no one would notice?
i just cant believe that there wasnt a mass exodus after that, my family never mentioned the change to me, i didnt even know til years later on this site.
