  So, what's the Watchtower's future?

  Begging!
  See Nov 1 2002 pg 30 "Voluntary Giving"

  MORE BEGGING!
  see December 1 2002 pg. 5 "Voluntary giving brings joy"
  (yeah, right! when DID ANYBODY ever have to remind you
  to do something that actually felt good?)

  Penny-Pinching
  see SeptKM 2002 pg. 1 "Show Appreciation for Theocratic
  Resources" Remember to "avoid waste", reduce any "surplus",
  and put your name in publications to "reduce the need to
  obtain replacements".

  Hoping that Armageddon comes before all their scams
  fall apart
  see Nov.22 2002 Awake. Will stem cells and other technology
  radically change our lifespan? "We can be sure... no therapy
  conceived by man will eliminate sickness and death"
  "Only time will tell" pg.8

  I passed thru a check out at the local supermarket and
  noticed the Readers Digest (Oct 2002) headline
  "New Cure For Aging". Now, that hasn't happened yet...

  but don't bet that it won't.

  metatron (p.s. while writing this a dramatic preventative
  treatment for Parkinson's was announced - big doses
  of CoQ10 {NBC News}Also, stem cells can treat stage 1
  diabetes successfully {Yahoo Health})

  So, what's the Watchtower's future?

  A slow fade. Some day there will be only small groups of hard core followers still attending meetings in homes.

  Can you tell me if there numbers world wide are increasing or decreasing?

  DON'T be suprised if they have a hostile takeover by insiders and do the BIG 180 degree turnaround.

  It's happened before, remember The Church of Christ? Now fully mainstream with the bigboys.

  That's how they will avoid being "eaten up" by the lawsuit sharks.

  Remember, no matter how unlikely, it's happened before.

  When the $$$$ is gone, the business empire will fall apart. Every month in our KH for about 2 years, we have not had enough in contributions to pay all the bills. If we didn't have a loan, from previous donors, we'd have no money to pay the bills. And what gets me is how they always want to send a big donation to the Society and they have no money themselves.

  Robert Bazell gave the report on NBC Nightly News last night.

  CoQ10 is a natural substance that is a powerful antioxidant. It has

  been already used to restore some heart patients back to health, formerly

  given up for dead. I like the LEF brand because they insist on pharmaceutical

  grade quality (potency can vary, otherwise - www.lef.org)

  In large enough doses, it is believed it can slow Parkinson's (if caught in

  early stages) by about half.
