in my mind it really has finished, they never call any more,they have virtually no influence on my life at all these days albeit my sister still remaining loyal but we haven't spoken in years, both parents passed away,not one single prophecy they predicted has materialised, KH's in my circuit and neighbouring circuits are being flogged off, congregations liquidated, the big splendour of district assemblies held in huge sports arenas every summer would be publicised in the media but now they dont even get mentioned, the growth in the UK is not even at a snails pace, the only reminder I see these days is their "apathy cart" in my home town completely ignored by the general public, yep they've finished, the internet has played a huge part in this!

If Watchtower goes down, think of all the divorces. I know several in loveless marriages and only stay together because of the "truth". If the truth is no more I don't think they will stay together. It would be interesting.

I'm thinking in terms of the Japanese soldiers that emerge from the jungle from time to time, unaware that the war is over.
