did anyone catch this quote?
"over seven and a half million witnesses of jehovah really have found him and they truly love him.".
why are they no longer touting "nearly 8 million" witnesses?
blondie-
I remember how discouraged I was when those decreases took place in 1977 and 78. In the US it dropped by 3% both years.
They don't fudge the numbers, if they did they would not report decreases.
But the writers always get the size of the Wallkill printery wrong in the km and w.
its not like there was anything wrong with them was there?
i used to love the old ones.
these new ones feel like the equivalent of a deflated balloon.. does anyone have the answer?.

you got to work in the bindery back then? I was always fascinated watching the books get made when I got to visit Bethel. I have not been to Brooklyn since 03 and Wallkill since 97 and it looks like I won't get the chance to go again.
I'd like to see the new automated book bindery at Wallkill, but, no way to get there.
You did a good job putting those songbooks together compound complex!

that is very interesting that you wrote some of the songs in the pink songbook. There were good songs back then.

We were using the pink songbook when I began attending meetings in 1976 and I liked it. When the new one came out in 1984 it was a big thing. I liked that one a lot too. I loved the KM cassettes.
I have not been to any meetings since they began using the new songbook but my brother sent me a cd of songs from it and except for one or two, those songs are horrible! They ruined the melodies of songs I used to love.
This new gb is running the jw religion to the ground.
Blondie- I remember we had a piano player at the hall when I began attending too.

I really liked the old kingdom melodies too. This new gb has to ruin everything and change everything because now THEY are in charge.

Sorry to hear your great , great Grandmother had gotten killed. Same thing happened to my great great grandmother, she was killed by arabs in Israel.
What that sister said at that Jewish cemetary was disgusting and shameful, I don't blame you for wanting to beat her up.

there were anti-semites in at least 2 of the congregations I was in too and some were elders.
One of the things that led me to stop attending meetings was one of the elders & his wife who gave me rides to meetings. I could not stand listening to their hateful, ignorant remarks anymore and it did not matter to them that they were insulting me and my family.
One elder even told me that the Jews don't exist, that the Israelites were all killed thousands of years ago and left no desendents. I told him thanks for letting me know I and my family don't exist! So much prejudice and ignorance!

Mikado-
thanks for your post.
I did not face the same degree of anti-semitism in school my younger brother & sister did, and I felt like you. There are bigots of all kinds and not all gentiles are anti-semitic. I was not successful in convincing my sister of this however.
This post has caused me to see more anti-semitism than I had been aware of, but I'd like to think I was right.
James Brown-
what you write about Rabbis putting the whole world under a spell is rediculous.
I would not take anything you post as having any merit.
Ignorance must be the main reason why there is so much anti-semitism.
do you think they are zealous?.
happy, joyful?.
pessimistic, depressed?.
I wonder what they have planned for next year? As has been mentioned, what happens after all of the excitement about the Kingdom ruling for 100 years dies down?
What can they come up with to make 2015 "exciting"?
