Unquestionably (in the US), the 'business model' of the WT, for lack of a better term, has changed dramatically in the last ten years. Many long time congregations, with their own paid-for halls, have been dissolved. This is not because of low attendance necessarily, but because the WT is trying to manage the KH usage efficiently so they can sell property and use the money elsewhere. At the same time, there are pre-groups, groups, and congregations in the foreign language fields that consist of mostly the English speakers who have transferred from their own congregation into the newly created foreign language congregation. For these reasons I am cautious to read too much into the change in number of congregations from year to year.

There were canals and water channels back at the time that allowed transport of the large stones for the pyramids. It all looks like a desert now, but things have changed, a lot.

"This Assembly Hall in Denmark was designed and built by the Watchtower Bible and Track Society" by NoOneSpecial JW Published on 30 Sep 2017

this assembly hall in denmark was designed and built by the watchtower bible and track society before drones and google earth were around.

the governing body did not count on this being exposed from the arial view.

according to the 1993 year book on denmark assembly hall.

Reminds me how the Nazis had groves of trees planted in shape of a Swaztika in some of the occupied countries.

I don't believe it was done intentionally to look like an eye or anything else. But it is embarrassing, in that it looks like something from a distance.

QFR - Posting JW publications on a personal website/social media

by Listener in

the following is a qfr from the april, 2018 watchtower.

just a couple of articles back the organization was explaining how jws need to be encouraging and even when admonishing congregations jesus would start out with encouraging words.

we see none of this in the qfr, rather, it is heavy handed and legally incorrect.. why is it not permissible to post publications of jehovah’s witnesses on a personal website or on social media?.

I like how Listener copied the entire QFR. In your Eye, WT!

It looks like an ampitheatre at one end of a triangular piece og property that makes it resemble an eye. Awful choice.

Do the flat earthers believe the other planets are flat too? You can see the moons around Saturn even with a relatively low power telescope. It’s pretty obvious that both the planet and moons are round spheres.
