Any young JW who gives up their business or career has no one to blame but themselves when, years later, it dawns on them their sacrifice was a total waste of time.
The evidence of hardship and deprivation among older JWs is legendary. All these self-absorbed, public-paraded and starry-eyed young JWs need to do - if they truly cared - is to look around their local congregation and observe firsthand the older ones who are barely existing on the little money they have. These are the ones who, back in the day, gave up their businesses and careers.

Cringe worthy moment:
Recently baptized 10 year old says sometimes he" doesn't feel worthy" when asked what challenges he faces.
THAT is child abuse. I bet everyone clapped.
The rest is just a do-over of the early 70s.
You know, I am getting to the point when the JWs are around and they have problems, issues, etc., I just don't feel sorry any more. How can they not see what a joke this all is? Especially in a congregation with so many poor elderly ones with NOTHING, who gave everything up when they were young (and feeling unworthy).

Do they forget the scriptures say "no one knows the day or the hour"? Why are they so obsessed with figuring it out and hoping it is close?

In 1986 I remember that there was a large group of clergy that met and prayed for peace and actually declared something like this is the year of peach and security and boy did the witnesses start the gossip then that the big A was so close...

1,400 in attendance and 5 dunked. What the hell? I remember when you could generally count on it being 1.5% of the total attendees being baptized. Can nobody else see the slowdown?
To the average JW, it all still looks the same.
