i'm not surprised but i must admit to a little eye roll.... looking at some photos on my brother's facebook page, i stumbled on a picture of our mother.
it took a few cycles thru the photos before i realized that mom has a jw pin on her top.. not surprising, but wanted to share.. we have not spoken in a long time.
for a while she was calling me every couple of weeks from her cell phone in the morning.

i 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.

with approximately 120,000 publishers in the uk, that will rake in 360,000. .

It is interesting that both last year and this year the book released at the convention was printed in Germany instead of at Wallkill. I wonder what the story is on that and if it is a permanent arrangement...
Germany printed in 2013 for US - because the US was printing the revised bible.
Germany printed in 2014 for US - because the US had problems with the cover of the km-book.

Some weeks ago they were shipped to the branches.
