  Memorial Attendances This Year

  by steve2 in

  have attendance figures at this year's memorial been released yet, including number of partakers?

  sometimes the kingdom ministry (now called christian life and ministry) provided local figures say for the country.. for two to three years the worldwide figure has hovered around the 19 plus million, with a drop off in attendance last year.. just wondered if there has been any change this year or if the downward trend has continued?

  But I do wonder how long they will continue doing this when the worldwide attendances show opposing trends (general attendance: stagnating and some decline; partakers increased in 2015 by over 1,000 from 2014).

  It's true steve2, I was thinking of that myself. As the stats get more and more somber, I'm guessing they'll be less and less inclined to print or make them public.

  So getting disfellowshipped sounds kind of great.

  i grew up in this religion, i was baptized at 14, married at 27, and now i'm 31. i'm also evolutionist and atheist.

  i wanted this to be the truth.

  i spent years as an apologist trying to reconcile everything.

  So does it ? or even should it matter what Christian religion you are today ? No God has ever sanctioned any of them these past 2000 years , why would you believe he / she is going to do so now,?

  -Excellent point Smiddy. Early on in my exit, a similar thought process had a profound effect on me when determining that neither Watchtower nor any other religion display any evidence of being the chosen or correct one.

  Some recent baptism figures in the UK - is there a "bounce back"?

  by freddo in

  well, round my way (south of the uk) all the way up to and including the regional conventions this summer, baptism numbers have been extremely low.

  but i have just received news of three recent circuit assembly days where the figures seem to be higher.

  (all have been across the last three weekends at a uk assembly hall in october).

  noting that it's "usually paired with a blousy top and a pony tail hairdo.

  What's wrong with this guy? There's nothing more sexy than yoga pants, "blousy top" and a pony tail IMO.

  If that's true, then it's bad news as the Spanish field is desperately in need of apostate attention. I would gladly work to set up a replacement. How sure are you of this?

  The man is going down and taking the party with him. What a disaster.
  

  The consequences of this fool's disastrous campaign will ripple around for years to come.
