That's a forged copy... the real one says "Millions now living MAY never die" ... the Faithful and Discreet Slave says so...

When I was in, there was an elder in my congo who would literally beg Jehovah to bring justice very soon whenever he had the closing prayer during KH meetings. His voice would usually crack and he always sounded desparate. At the close of a Service Meeting (during which they showed video of KH builds in Africa), he got so emotional during the closing prayer that I looked up and saw him with eyes shut really tight while he squeezed his hands tightly and begged Jehovah to bring his Kingdom... I thought: "does he even realize that he's begging Jehovah to kill 6 billion people as soon as possible?"
I think you'll find a lot of over-loaded elders saying the same thing all over the world... "It just CAN't go on much longer"

robB... don't bother trying to get your friend to read this book... this is only for JWs that are able to analyze things objectively... not for one-sided die-hard JWs.

Marvin... Maybe the "speculative investments" being referred to are the African infrastructure projects that will be discussed at the Africa Investment Summit in London next week... There are two bethelites attending this summit...
dgp... thanks! I always wondered where that came from!

Sorry barbara... didn't notice you had the spanish text already in your post...
here's a pretty good translation...
According to a rumor that came from our administrative offices, a recent visit to our offices located at 25 Columbia Heights could have been by the new owners of the complex. According to the theocratic grapevine, the Society will rent (the complex from the new owners) for 5 years and then slowly transfer services and offices to the lateral building.
The project is the transformation of our theocratic offices into an area of luxury apartments, a shopping center and an apartment/hotel with (its own) spa.
What great provision for us all to see how the Society aquires great wealth and then invests it in speculative investments and things of that nature!

Jehovahs Witnesses and Entitlement
by hoser ini've noticed an attitude among the friends that they feel that they are owed something by society.
example: at the last meeting one of the elders gave a talk about how "the system" is getting harder and harder to make a living.. .
i know its a recession out there, but to blame satan the devil for your economic woes is kinda harsh don't you think.

I've been out for almost two years now but, when I was in, my congo had about a 40/60 mix of working middle class (40%) and poor/retirees (60%)... Myself and others in the congo were often indirectly "guilted" by the elders (who were mostly poor) to help those who were "struggling" because they assumed that the working middle class in the congo had plenty of money to give away. It got to the point where my wife finally put her foot down and told me that I was being taken advantage of... turns out, she was right... One family I helped out was in dire straits because they charged up their credit cards furnishing their home with things I didn't even have in my own home... another single mother would frequent the hair salon but couldn't put food on the table... Yeah, I was stupid... but it really opened my eyes to the sense of entitlement that some JWs tend to feel to the point that they actually expect the wealthier JWs to spread their wealth...

British Sociologist Predicts Possible Collapse in Jehovah's Witness Numbers
by slimboyfat ina newly published article by british sociologist david voas argues jehovah's witnesses may be about to experience a collapse in numbers.
contrary to claims by american sociologist rodney stark who predicts strong future growth for jehovah's witnesses, voas shows that jehovah's witnesses' efforts at recruiting new members have become increasingly unsuccessful over the past few decades: the rate of increase has steadily declined, and the number of hours each publisher must preach to produce an extra convert has gone up substantially.
voas suggests a reason for the stagnation may be that there is a natural limit to the number of people in a given population that are susceptible to conversion to sectarian groups like jehovah's witnesses - the 'carrying capacity' of the population, and that the limit has largely been reached.

In my area, all territories are worked at least 8 times a year... the same faces knock on the same doors year in and year out... but so far, only 3 non-born-in baptisms in about 10 years of working a 7.5 square mile rural area (population approx 4,500)... 2 of those were mentally unstable and the other was a loner... if that's any indication, I'd say this british sociologist is not too far off in his assessment...
