I in part disagree with you Steve on immigrants been more susceptible to jwisim. Considering that chinese and indians are the biggest ethnic groups in NZ. Last time I heard there was 1 Indian speaking congregation and maybe 4 chinese speaking ones in the entire country. There must literally be 100s of 1000s of these people in NZ now. I Remember in years past when these immigrants were flooding into the country the average asian study would only last a couple months at most. They were quick to study but we're soon gone. I personally don't know of any chinese that came in out of the territory.

2014 MEMORIAL ATTENDANCES FOR REST OF THE WORLD
by steve2 inthe october kingdom ministry for the united states reported the 2014 memorial attendances for the us branch office that has subsequently been well discussed in a separate thread.
in that thread, a poster asserted that in some parts of europe the attendance had been higher than last year - but to date no source evidence has been provided.. so, have memorial attendances for other parts of the world been reported in any of the publications such as kingdom ministryyet?.
if so, could you direct me to the source(s).

What I suggest you do is put the recorded copy on you tube and let the public decide. No doubt if Wt want to take the matter further they can reference it from there. Sounds fair to me.

by Think About It inyou've seen or heard about the ripley's believe it or not museums, where different weird & wacky items are displayed from human culture.
let's compile a list of the weird & wacky items from the jw religion that would make a great jw believe it or not museum.
maybe the wts could open one up it's own historical museum in brooklyn to make some big money.

Welcoming International Delegates for London 2014 IC
by Da.Furious ini had the pleasure of joining jw's on the weekend to greet the international delegates who are attending the london 2014 international convention at twickenham.. nothing interesting, just waiting for someone with a badge to come through the doors and all will cheer!
the interesting part is how they are behaving:.
1- the overseer: looked really bored, trying to impress surroundings by talking loud and how he can talk to immigration and check on passengers.

Sadly I have to say all of the above comments have a resounding ring of truth to them. What I'm embarrassed to admit to is a couple of years back these comments would of been justified by me.

Is this the start of a change of policy regarding individual JWs preparing internet pages.

May be this is a bit of a wild conspiracy theory. I wouldn't mind betting that they are going to pull a similar stint as they done in Guadalajara Mexico.
i wonder if they deliberately brought that property knowing that there would be probless with it. Then they can turn around and tell the rank and file that due to council opposition the idea has been Terminated. In the mean time they have pocketed just over $8 mill, plus got the proceeds from 2 other properties. Just say that they lost $3 mill in having to fight the council, and if they were forced to sell the property at a loss. They have still made $5 mill in money they wouldn't of other wise had. Makes sense to me and all the while the R&F is none the wiser.

Oh to hell with it. Everyone email them a copy of the 1997 KM and the caleb video and give them so many emails that they can't get through them all.
Seriously though if this becomes the norm what is to stop some apostate from setting up a bogus Web site, so he can draw off disciples from unsuspecting Web surfers who may genuinely want to go to the meeting.

Just for a joke some one should email them a copy of 1997 KM, and tell them that the Caleb video is a copy right infringement. It would be interesting to see if they replied at all and if they did what they would have to say. Personally I think this is up there with Wt full blessing. "The times they are a changing"
