Witnesses see dramatic
decrease in numbers in South Africa.
THE number
of Jehovah's Witnesses in South Africa has been slashed thanks
to the witness of one man.
Colin
Meano, married to a JW and now, after seven years of "living
hell" is going through a divorce, started off by showing one
black JW the false prophecies, other lies and the deceptive methods
of the Watch Tower Society.
This black man (Lucas) then started talking to other black
JWs who all left and they in turn really spread the news.
The combined effect of all their efforts is as follows, in
various black and other towns:
Kagiso
Township - 460 JWs left - Kingdom Hall closed down.
Beckersdal
Township - 385 JWs left - Kingdom Hall closed down.
Fochville
Town - 285 JWs left.
Ventersdorp
Town - 385 JWs left.
Potchefstroom
Township - 125 JWs left.
Total JWs leaving WTS in about three months = 1640.
The Watch Tower was so concerned about this that they sent
an official to speak with Colin, requesting him to stop what he was doing. Needless
to say he said that he could not, and if the WTS feels it has the truth then
it should not be worried or have a need for a request of this nature.
Now Colin is planning a meeting with all the ex-JWs to discuss
things with them and bring them the true Gospel of our Lord and God Jesus Christ.
Please pray for this effort. Incorporate these needs in your
prayers of praise, petition and thanks! Information received from the Cult Information
and Evangelization Centre - a counter cult ministry in South Africa.
The Numbers Calling
Keep On Falling.
THE number
of Jehovah's Witnesses carrying out door to door work in Britain
has decreased during 1997.
According
to figures, printed in the January 1st, 1998 issue of the Watchtower,
there were 123,318 Witnesses at the end of December.
This was compared to 124,623 the previous year, a drop of 1,305.
But, in the United States, the number of Witnesses increased
by 8,348 to 929,471.
