I see the convention is on you tube but I don`t know how to download it from there
can anyone help

Sometime I fantasize about being a multi-millionaire, and being able to arrange my time to Pioneer ... but not only that ... but to put a full HUNDRED hours a month in the Field Service.
I would hire a pilot and aircraft to fly up and down Miami Beach, Florida , about 1/4 mile from the beach, towing behind a "JW.ORG" banner, with the Scripture "John 9:41", and watch it through my sunglasses.
..... the rough equivalent of a Brother standing beside his literature cart all day
I am reasonably sure that if I contributed  $30,000 a month to the local Kingdom Hall, as "Prince" did, not only could I "count my time" .... I would be a "Pillar" in the Organization.  AND, at the same time, get a nice tan!
 
....er ... "Pillar" .... NOT "Pillow".
 

There is a part of me that would like to see the end of counting time altogether. It leads to too many odd situations of doing or not doing something for the sake of accumulating hours or.keeping time going. 
At present, if I auxiliary pioneer, at the end of the month I write ‘50.’ (Or ‘30’ as the case may be) If I feel bad about it afterwards, I don’t do it again.
With a million people in the Branch, if you flat-out lied, it would make no statistical difference.
There is nothing sinister about counting time, and the people who carry on as though there is are just being childish, imo. Few bits of counsel are heard more frequently than the counsel not to boast over ‘accomplishments.’ But as a practical matter, even though it exists so as to get an overall picture of what is happening in the ministry, it has its drawbacks. 

This is an excellent thought.

And yet this word of mouth claim of yours was dealt with the last time we spoke of demographics (twice), and if I recall, you unleash the circus and the mental gymnastics on said notion, an act that can easily be done away with a 3rd time if need be.
Elementary stuff, Butler. Also, remember - Jesus was very very knowledge of the Scriptures as a child. In fact, all Jews take up and obverse God's Law very early. It is unknown if you were ignorant and or unaware of this, I advise you look into Shema Yisrael and all things that hang for it. Jesus speaks such for a reason.
As is with Jesus, and all before and after him. It did not stop young ones from observing God's Law and reading the Scriptures. Again, if you actually read your bible and took up spiritual wisdom, you'd realize how the Jews operated, including Jesus, but you negate everything when you sibtract what took place before his ministry.
Forced, I ask you before to give evidence of this, twice, but this word of mouth falls short. That is like the saying by some who say Christians force children to read the Bible, when in reality it is encouraged to do so.
But as was exposed on your account, your folly in the realm of statistics is as great as the light from the sun for discerning ones to see it and give a rebuttal.
So where is the evidence in this regard to which was asked but never shown?
Remember, Jesus was a very young boy and it was wise in the Law of God, probably beyond both his human parents. He knew very well who his God and Father is and the context of his words found in Luke 2 passage shows, in fact, what one can see by reading and taking in the context and references of Luke 2:41-52 entirely.
A Christian parent are to encourage their children to seek the Scriptures and the truth and teachings that it brings, hence why it is said that we must pass on wisdom to the young ones, to teach them, despite being under their parents, the child has his or her choice to take up what is said, whereas the parent, who is of authority can encourage. 
Even outside of the realm of faith, this also comes in form in terms of education in and outside of the home, for it is no different concerning a child and the Scriptures.
That being said, with the you said here after this response of yours, I suggest you better read, understand, and mediate on the Bible, let alone study and teach yourself because the lack is clearly seen, hence your attempted exegesis expressed here.
Aside from that overwhelming fact in terms of demographics/adherents is factual over your lunacy, so much as so, even Rook is alluding to the research website that is accurate in terms of the faith group, as is with other faith groups. They would not sully their reputation for your unproven word of mouth info when nearly everyone is knowing of such facts, even the Christian Today folk.

The Pews Research Website is and will always be a good source. But it is a pale of hot coals for those who can't take the statistics that solidifies truth.

You are the one with the name of a child, Kid. Pretending to be a tough cowboy. Go polish your guns kid. 

....and anytime there is NEW LIGHT, it shows the GB DID NOT UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURE.
.....  except in Billy-Think ... where you can have it BOTH ways at the same time.
... and a MILLION weasel words will not change that.

Josue2
You are obviously trying to share information which may be valuable.
How about I make a deal with you .... you write in English, and I will not reply in Klingon?
Otherwise, your efforts are completely wasted on anyone who does not speak French.
I spit and yell in Klingon.
..... both at the same time!

If you weasel word your answer, or don't answer, you could legitimately be re-labeled  :
                                             "Billy(Just Weasel)theKid46"
           ... notice that the "Just Weasel" is spelled with a capital "J", and "W", which you considered JW Insider's screen name to be an affront against God.
You wouldn't want THOSE SAME irrational fruitcake rules applied to YOU ..... now would you, huh Billy?
 

....... easy for YOU to say!
I personally do not believe in qelques the philosopher, OR dan the spirit!

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

@BillyTheKid46 Quote " I criticize those that think they have the right to criticize the Watchtower. "
What is the Watchtower to you ? What exactly does that word Watchtower mean ?
Who runs that Watchtower, who is in charge ?   
The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania is a non-stock, not-for-profit organization[4] headquartered in Warwick, New York. It is the main legal entity used worldwide by Jehovah's Witnesses to direct, administer and disseminate doctrines for the group and is often referred to by members of the denomination simply as "the Society". It is the parent organization of a number of Watch Tower subsidiaries, including the Watchtower Society of New York and International Bible Students Association.[5][6] The number of voting shareholders of the corporation is limited to between 300 and 500 "mature, active and faithful" male Jehovah's Witnesses.[7] About 5800 Jehovah's Witnesses provide voluntary unpaid labour, as members of a religious order, in three large Watch Tower Society facilities in New York;[8] nearly 15,000 other members of the order work at the Watch Tower Society's other facilities worldwide. 
Governing Body
In 1976, direction of the Watch Tower Society and of the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide came under the control of the Governing Body, reducing the power of the society's president. The society has described the change as "one of the most significant organizational readjustments in the modern-day history of Jehovah's Witnesses."[53]
Following the death of Knorr in 1977, subsequent presidents of the Watch Tower Society have been Frederick W. Franz (June 1977 – December 1992); Milton G. Henschel (December 1992 – October 2000), Don A. Adams (October 2000 – 2014) and Robert Ciranko (incumbent).[50] Adams and Ciranko are considered "helpers" to the Governing Body, which retains authority over the corporations.[54]
If this info is correct then the Watchtower is run by the Governing Body. So as bosses of the W/t they are responsible for lies, mistakes, failures, etc of the W/t, and the GB are responsible for lives, and deaths of many people. 
Your idea of using Watchtower as a cover up,  does not work. The Watchtower is known as two things.
1. An Organisation / Society.
2. A magazine.
Which ever you see it as it still has to be run by humans, and have leaders. Those leaders are the Governing Body.  Therefore that GB are responsible for any good or bad that it produces. 
 

By the way, Billy, are you and Foreigner the same person ? 
I notice he or she never makes any comments, and downvotes everything everybody else says, EXCEPT YOU,   You get an upvote!
....sort of like getting a Telly Award and not having to pay $85 for it.
This will be a good test of your basic integrity, as there are several people here ( not me ) who can determine from your Internet Cyber trail exactly where both logins are coming from, and even your operating system and Browser. They ALREADY have all that information.
You going to weasel out of this honest, straightforward, and pertinent question ....
..... or reply  with an honest YES or NO answer?

If you weasel word your answer, or don't answer, you could legitimately be re-labeled  :
                                             "Billy(Just Weasel)theKid46"
           ... notice that the "Just Weasel" is spelled with a capital "J", and "W", which you considered JW Insider's screen name to be an affront against God.

What a magnificent peacemaker you are, Billy .... truly a LEGEND, in your own mind.

OF COURSE IT WILL NEVER WORK WITH YOU BILLY!
You have WATCHTOWER DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (WDS).
Your entire perspective on life, the Universe, and Everything, is NOT based on TRUTH ... it is based on your agenda!
To prove this (to everybody BUT you) ... I need merely to point out that you did NOT refute John Butler's observation WITH A RATIONAL ARGUMENT ....
... only preparing for a stroke with your DISAGREEMENT OF IT.
You vigorously disagreed with YOUR OWN WORDS, in order to defend your agenda!
 

... there is NO weasel words that will get around THAT self-evident statement.

....and anytime there is NEW LIGHT, it shows the GB DID NOT UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURE.
.....  except in Billy-Think ... where you can have it BOTH ways at the same time.
... and a MILLION weasel words will not change that.

According to Billy-Think, you can change the definitions of words to mean whatever the Society's Writing Department WISHES them to mean.
Or in the words of Bugs Bunny ... "ERRRRRR .... What's up Doc?"
Or, in the photocopied words of that desperado, bandito wanna-be of the Old West ....

Ya got me on that pacifist issue, BTK46.  
When a bully is flailing about, I defend the ones being falsely accused BY YOU.
...   silly me.
...   and Billy ... the works are ALREADY gummed up .... my "crime" is I know about it.
 

Billy ... If JW Insider's Avatar and moniker is a stumbling block to you, and you think it taints the name of God, you have some serious screws loose.
It's amazing you can walk down the street without having parts fall off.
 

WOW!

Like the old saying goes "What is good for the Goose, is good for the Gander".
You cannot have SELECTIVE application of that bloviating statement, Billy.
It's either universally true, or it is not true.
You cannot apply it to people you disagree with ... yet excuse the Governing Body.
Having double standards is NOT the same as having twice as many standards.
