is a sign that the end is so near and the jehovah made the change to emphasize the.

Bookstudy and the United Nations

wondering if anyone else is taking advantage of the subject matter being covered these past few weeks at the bookstudy (revelation climax book) regarding religion's association with the blasphemous scarlet colored wild beast (un organization)?

this week especially does the book get into religion's "heinous" involvement with the un with the wt society's writers even sarcasticly poking fun at other religions who have supported the un.

i, for one, have been taking full advantage of this grand opportunity to "witness" to as many j-dubs as possible about the wt society's secret 10 year involvement with the un and subsequent coverup.

The need for 'Deliverance at Hand' in 2006

what goes on behind the doors of the governing body is never published, but it can be surmised that recent years' service reports (which show a disturbing falling off of levels of increase), warrant a special push on getting new members.

with the experience of the 1975 fiasco, the governing body must know that creating a fear of an early armageddon would bring in more members, and the deliverance at hand assemblies did just that, with quite good increases in membership during the 2007 service year at 3.1% of active members.

the following data comparison probably identifies a cause for concern for the governing body :-.

is anyone able to supply a printable copy of the 2007 service report to help me in my statistical research?

at present i have all reports from 1990 to 2006 for all countries and it would be helpful if someone could provide the 2007 figures in printable form.

i no longer have a local witness contact.
