this past weekend i wasted my time at another jw ca, during this time this is what our new do shared with all the drones and i just wanted to share with all of the current awaken jw's or ex-jw's.. .

public address: who is rocking the nations, and how?.

we all know the jw leaders love talk about numbers!.

jw.org is already be a lead-generation mechanism- cant be long before there are DC and CA experiences featuring pioneers talking about marvelous experiences from following up on website 'interest' - couldnt bring themselves to say 'sales lead' could they...

Marriage Consummation - emailed question has me stumped

by jwfacts in

i received an email from a jw that got married, but the wife never had sex with him.

they were together for a period of years.

he told the elders, but they said there was nothing that could be done.

Sadly the instances of bridesmaids being shagged by the groom at the reception is almost non-existent at JW weddings.

What is the real Percentage of visitors to jw.org

by maisha in

it seems the main countries are not visiting the jw.org site as they say in their stats.. this is the claims made: jw.org reaches 230 nations.

but here are the stats from alexa.. i realise alexa is not 100% accurate, but it is sure different ti jw claims.... country.. % of visitors.. rank in that country.

united states20.9%1,770 brazil8.1%589 mexico6.7%562 japan5.1%1,729 russia3.8%2,434 italy3.5%1,177 united kingdom3.1%1,910 nigeria3.0%351 france2.5%2,657 germany2.4%3,533jw.org is just a pointer domain to watchtower.com.

people without a college education are over-represented in the alexa stats because of the way they collect stats :-)

the only way we will know about jw.org traffic is if either a high level insider defects or anonymous hacks their site and steals their logs

Our literature is in over 650 languages, and during this year our goal is to translate our literature into 1000 different languages! There is not a single corner of the planet that is out of our reach.

going back to westenddave's chart here:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/271711/1/Yearbook-Chart-Re-posted-Math-explained-Top-7-countries-account-for-50-growth#.Uue6Po3FK2x

the language boasting is a complete red herring.

75% of their publisher growth is accounted for from just 12 languages - the rest - meh - window dressing and busy work - if they had 10% growth in publishers you can bet your bottom dollar they wont be talking about releasing the Panda tract in Ouagadougou

repost from http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/271711/1/Yearbook-Chart-Re-posted-Math-explained-Top-7-countries-account-for-50-growth#.UueO343FK2w

Let me take a crack at explaining what I have tried to do with these numbers shown below.

To my mind if a country has 10% of the total global publisher numbers then it 'should' return to the Borg 10% of the annual growth in publishers. (I know there are 100 reasons why this doesn't happen). Some countries are pulling their weight, some countries are lagging and some countries are punching way above their weight.

So this is what that comparison looks like. Countries at the top of the table are doing really well. Countries at the bottom are struggling.

Lets try a few examples

Angola has 1.22% of the total publishers and therefore you could reasonably expect them to add 1.22% of 159,383 or 1949 new publishers. Instead they managed to add 7380 publishers. (7380/1949) = 3.8X Factor. Well done Angola.

Zambia has 2.08% of the total publishers and therefore you could reasonably expect them to add 2.08% of 159,383 or 3316 new publishers. Instead they managed to add 3313 publishers. (3316/3313) = 1X Factor. Well done Zambia - bang on the money.

USA has 15.17% of the total publishers and therefore you could reasonably expect them to add 15.17% of 159,383 or 24,176 new publishers. Instead they managed to add 11,573 publishers. (24,176/11,573) = 0.5X Factor, or 50% of sales target. Oh dear.

You get the idea?

Standout performers for me are:

Angola, Congo, Ghana, Ecuador, Mozambique, Phillipines, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Nigeria and Malawi.

See anything? (Africa, Tier 2 LatAm)

Standout underperformers are:

Chile, Brazil, Australia, USA, France, Cuba, Russia, Argentina, Italy, Britain, Canada, Korea, Ukraine, Spain, Germany, Japan, Portugal, and Poland, naughty naughty Poland.

See anything? (Tier 1 LatAm, The West)

In Europe we call them the Big 5 Nations - UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy - all in decline.

Look around the middle of the table for South Africa for countries that achieved exactly the 1X growth you would expect - they are truly average.

The other thing worth noting is how 'Other Lands' returned about 10X growth compared to global avergae - banning is good for WTS and other cults. Governments should take note that banning is counter-productive, but then they are cults in themselves so it serves their purposes on a greater scale to have a few banned organisations to keep their people in line.

Bear in mind also that the X factor is relative to a pretty paltry growth rate globally of 2.1%. So just picking on Canada for an example - their 0.2X factor means they only achieved 20% of sales target, which in itself was just 2% growth....this is a really poor perfomance Canada.

Also note the big countries that achieved negative growth in actual numbers (ignoring population growth which makes it even worse) Germany Japan Portugal and Poland - your place in the Hall of Shame is assured.

Ireland is the only Western Europe country of any note that is actually doing better than you would expect with 1.2X or +20% above target. Even then its a small base of 6000 publishers.

Marriage Consummation - emailed question has me stumped

by jwfacts in

i received an email from a jw that got married, but the wife never had sex with him.

they were together for a period of years.

he told the elders, but they said there was nothing that could be done.

besty

between an organisation that insists on f**king him in the ass and a wife that won't f**k him at all, I say he has had a narrow escape..

Mac Book Pro with Retina or Dell XPS 15? (both with new Haswell processors)

by Simon in

jw
friends

i've been in need of a new laptop for a long time.

no, i mean it - a really long time.

the old dell that we have has a floppy lid and is woefully underpowered although it does build up my upper body strength every time i pick it up.. the last 6 months has been a bad time to buy something new though with the haswell processors on the horizon promising better battery life and also screen technology seems to have been leaping ahead recently to a new hi-dpi standard.. so apple finally released their mac book pro and at the same time dell has released an xps 15 ultrabook which looks like a pretty good alternative and probably better 'value'.. pro's and con's?

Click with two fingers is right click equivalent - that might help the transition for ya

Happy Mac'ing - one more of us and one less of them :-)

Homosexuality, the GB and the Bible

by Oubliette in

the recent topics addressing the shamefully bigoted talk by jw gb member, anthony morris, on the subject of homosexuality got me thinking.

what the heck is up with the gb's obsession with this subject?.

as far as i can determine, jesus never said a single thing in reference to homosexuality.

Yellow highlighting didn't work so look around the middle of the table for South Africa for countries that achieved exactly the 1X growth you would expect - they are truly average.

The other thing worth noting is how 'Other Lands' returned about 10X growth compared to global avergae - banning is good for WTS and other cults. Governments should take note that banning is counter-productive, but then they are cults in themselves so it serves their purposes on a greater scale to have a few banned organisations to keep their people in line.

Bear in mind also that the X factor is relative to a pretty paltry growth rate globally of 2.1%. So just picking on Canada for an example - their 0.2X factor means they only achieved 20% of sales target, which in itself was just 2% growth....this is a really poor perfomance Canada.

Also note the big countries that achieved negative growth in actual numbers (ignoring population growth which makes it even worse) Germany Japan Portugal and Poland - your place in the Hall of Shame is assured.

Ireland is the only Western Europe country of any note that is actually doing better than you would expect with 1.2X or +20% above target. Even then its a realtively small base of 5 or 6000 publishers.
