https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PktIbmzbzmAp6Dfo0Dx1vr5h9zerejGJ/ Interesting...Memorial attendance really hasn't changed much in 17 years. It was 27K (and change) last year...and the same in 1998. Meanwhile, the population of NZ has grown by 1 million in that same period (26%). The 2017 "Ratio 1 publisher to..." has slowly increased to 1:340 in 2017-- the worst ratio in NZ since 1986...31 years. Clearly the efforts of JWs in NZ to even keep up with population growth has stalled. "Peak publishers" has basically stayed flat, only fluctuating within a small margin since 2008...nearly 10 years.

Need to laugh? This is funny! Have a Smile today? ~ ?????? A woman went into her kitchen to find a burglar loaded down with a bunch of stuff he was stealing from her kitchen. Not having any kind of weapon to scare him off, she raised her hand and said "Acts 2:38," and proceeded to quote scripture. The burglar froze in place and didn't move. The woman called 911; the police arrived and were amazed to find the burglar still frozen where he stood. "What did you say to him that kept him from moving?" they asked the woman. She told them that she had simply said Acts 2:38 and quoted scripture. The police chuckled and escorted the burglar out to the p…

“Nourishing Spiritual Food”? I cannot advocate the website listed at the end of this short video, as I havenÂ’t gone there. Also I do not see verification that the money from the sale of houses, properties and goods was given to the Watchtower at that time period. But I will not dismiss the large possibility. What is important about this video, is hearing how 1975 was truly proclaimed from the source; quite contrary to how the 2017 convention presented it: “…you see, back then, some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things. A few, even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs. (km 5/1974)…

He said, `I need to be baptised by you. Why do you come to me to be baptised?' 15Â But Jesus answered, `Please do it now. In this way we shall do all that is right.'

The Kingdom Ministry School 2018 is a training school for circuit overseers, elders and ministerial servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses. According to Jehovah’s Witnesses’ doctrine, “an overseer in the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses must be a man who can organize his life so as to give the proper attention to all in the congregation and be a blessing to them. At the same time he cannot be a man who ignores his family in favor of the congregation, but he must use the spirit of a sound mind.” To that end, this is an “opportunity … afforded … congregation servants throughout the world of coming together at the Kingdom Ministry School to get a training that will hel…

Russell's secretary, Menta Sturgeon, was with him when he died and related the events surrounding Russell's death in a talk given at the funeral, found in the December 1916 issue of the Watchtower. See Harvest Truth DataBase V5.0. Â It was Sturgeon who wrapped him in the bed sheet, and Russell showed him how to make it look like a Roman toga. Russell did not simply drop suddenly, but his death was a lingering one in which he became progressively ill on his last preaching tour, traveling on the train. He never explained what the Roman toga meant, and both Sturgeon and Rutherford attempted to give explanations. Both agreed that Russell had finished his course victoriously. …
