  CoBE Joins those Elders Deserting the Sinking Ship

  by The Searcher in

  from a reliable source:.

  a young cobe - late thirties, maybe forty - has resigned in december 2015, both as the cobe and as an elder.

  word is that he is a man with a young family who is stressed out and has had enough.

  Not local personally but I know an elder in one of the recently affected congregations. He's well in but I always try and get some info on the occasions we speak.

  DOYKL - Your reasoning makes sense from a neutral statistical point of view however the critical point is that the WTS have been shameless in their massaging of statistics to demonstrate growth and imply the action of Holy Spirit and Jehovah's blessing.

  They have consistently used peak publishers as a marker for gloating. Anyone who regularly saw the KM in the 70's, 80's and 90's would know how a country's yearly peak publishers was used to demonstrate growth, even when it bore little relationship to the monthly figures presented.

  Examination of the figures over time has demonstrated completely different trends to those preferred by the WTS and they have slowly removed published figures from the KM and also from publications. You see significantly less gloating now, rather it's all about the money.

  The Yearbook is pretty much the last place you will find the data needed to demonstrate the real health of the organisation and they are making moves to obfuscate that even more. The new reporting regime completely undermines the old argument of needing to know placement figures to gauge publishing requirements. It simply lumps everything together, encourages false reporting and includes meaningless preaching interactions. The object - find some way of having some growth in preaching related figures.

  I am personally very surprised at the drop in hours given the fact you have people on carts doing 3-4 times what most do on the D2D work but I bet the number crunchers at Bethel saw that coming via trends from monthly reports and have tried to stem the flow with the new reporting instructions.

  I also wonder if they will start to raise the profile of Matt 24:12 regarding the love of the greater number cooling off and apply that more directly to Witnesses

  Actually, no. The biggest percentage increase was in 2008, when it jumped from 9105 to 9986 (8.8% increase). Here's a chart for you:

  Thanks WTArchive - your charts tell the story of 1000 words!

  My question was actually poorly worded. What I meant was if the % increase was the largest of the the % stats from this year's figures. I think another thread mentioned it's 7.5%. I don't think any of the other headline figures on growth are close to that number.

  Is the biggest percentage increase in memorial partakers?

  i am surprised hours have gone down as I predicted a rise thanks to the carts and endless hours of standing around but perhaps the D2D work has decreased. I've no idea as I go out once in a blue moon.

  Yet it was the peak figures always used in KM reports to illustrate how much growth there was.

  Lies, damn lies and WT statistics....

  To be fair Russian coppers are pretty unlikable.
