6 branches subsidize the rest of the branches.
by hoser ini went to the meeting this morning and we had some guy from overseas bethel give the public talk.
6 countries subsidize the rest.
he said in some countries all the donations that they get from contributions don't even pay the electricity bill for the branch buildings so money has to come in from these 6 richer countries.

It sort of surprises me that comment and then again it doesn't. I remember when I was awakening trying to give the reason for the bethel closures to an elder friend of mine who was also the accounts servant. His comments were telling. Here is how I remember the conversation.
"it doesn't surprise me what your saying. You want to see the literature that comes in and honestly I'm only sending them a few hundred bucks. I actually get embarrassed by it as I know it isn't covering the cost.".
Interestingly I live in a 1st world country, and the brothers congregation who made the above comment was also situated in a very wealthy up market area.

I guess they are hopeing to make the best out of a bad situation. I suppose if they drill it enough in to the public, may be JW.org will be as far as the public will go. But then on the other hand to expect some one to just go to the JW.org web site and not look down at a few lines below that on the search results, is short sighted. But really what else can they do. With all the demonising of the internet in the early days what I can see happening is the GB slowly and very sheepishly allowing witnesses to set up web sites. They physically can't come out and give a directive, as this would mean gods visible organisation having to back track. They obviously have now realised they have to do something. So what else can they do.

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).

Well when you would consider there must be upwards of 1 million + Asians living in a country of about 4.5 million people, and that is only represented by let say half a dozen Asian speaking congregations. It ain't exactly booming growth. But on saying that there is room to grow. I have to say a lot of the Asian immigrants are keen to study (but only in English) but after a couple of months they are gone. I just don't think Chinese have it in them to believe in the concept of a god. I remember talking to a sister some years ago who was studying with an Indian, and just trying to get the concept of the Christian God been the all supreme and not just a deity, was just a completely different concept. Well this is my experience with what I saw. of Asian immigrants in the KH.

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.

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.

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.
