  Brokeback Watchtower

  A hot internet topics: creation or evolution, and many other related discussions, the amount of ridicule the Watchtower receives over the internet far out surpasses any passing of possitive internet data to the world's unfettered view.

  You need a good internet presents it is vital for the cult to survive, and the internet simply won't allow this cult to prosper, but rather is sending it into ridicule filled bankruptcy, as public gets immune from the WT(virus) fairy tale about them being the only ones to survive God's righteous indignation and repopulate the earth with more drones like members.

  They are stopping all construction and are selling Kingdom Hall,and dissolving congregations Nobody is getting baptized because the public is just too informed to believe their bull shit. The decline is irreversible with no hope for the worlds end for these terminally delusional corporate managers.

  Though Mathew 24:14 is intimately connected with making use of all available means of communication, Bible miserably failed to foresee the coming of internet--something that can accomplish the commission given in Mathew 24:14 in just one day (something that was not fully accomplished in 2000 years because physically going to China, Gulf countries, and rural India ... is impossible even now)

  I think all the recent changes are showing a hint of desperation, and an inevitable long, slow decline.

  The internet is likely the biggest reason.

  Brokeback l agree the internet is going to halt any increase, the internet is dragging people out of the org and some are really angry at being duped by WT. The GB thinks it's great doing their selfies for the sheepies on Jw tv . The same technology that beams the bullshit to the Congs is the one that apostates upload the real story to the questioning publishers. They can't hide from their history of print and o boy didn't they print , a new book and brochure every year for decades.

  An "inevitable long, slow decline" it's been since posts like this on H20 yrs. ago but it's still hopeful the cult will implode at some point and be a less destructive religious-real estate co.

  Maybe it will pick up momentum and spare heartaches and lives.

  I know many people want to hear about their crumbling and decline and ridicule, etc. However, they aren't stupid. They have been in their plan B for quite some time. They are failing as a religion, and their old model of gaining converts and selling literature is obsolete.

  However, like any money hungry business, they have changed their model. They have a real estate business, very lucrative, with an almost $0 investment. Financially they are rock solid, and they no longer depend on converting people and publishing printed literature.

  For their real purpose, they are just fine.

  ....... but it's still hopeful the cult will implode at some point and be a less destructive religious-real estate co.

  There was a lot of imploding in its past:

  

  A simplified chart of historical developments of major groups within Bible Students.

  In today's world The imploding will come from three directions.

  First...... we live in the information age. The JW history is there for the picking. Their flip flops and beliefs.......... especially the Blood Ban and their end of the world death cult issues's are devastating.

  Second.......Their retention number has the bottom dropping out of their future.

  Third as their pedophile issue gains more traction with the population at large, people will see them as something dark and troubling, a group to avoid.....doors will not be opened to them in their own communities........since the WTBTS is all in favor of having their members isolated they will continue to hold policies that will keep them isolated. Put another way they have cultivated their own demise.

  Additional issues, lack of higher education produces the lowest income of any religion in the USA.

  Their divorce rate 11%, according to Pew, is the same as most other Christian religions.

  Shunning is rampant and for any number of silly reasons and this further destroys the all important family base and often in the case of those who are questioning the dogma.......... removes the best and brightest.

  By remaining a 19th century religion they have removed themselves from the world stage and become less then nothing.

  I wouldn't say rock solid, I'm sure if you look at their books they have been bleeding money for decades with their cost of manufacturing printed material that hardly nobody wants to read, so much so that they required pledges from their members and basically stolen all their congregations cash on hand in excess of a few month operating cost, plus they put a hold on all construction project accept 2 or three(big money drain) and are selling all the tools they have for construction at discount prices. Russia just confiscated all their property and child molestation lawsuits are huge and taking a big bite of any money they have in savings, and their credit ratings are horrible.

  They have dismissed thousands of free slave labor bethelites, hired outside law firms to represent them in the courts, they are selling off tons of real estate.
  

  That doesn't sound very rock solid to me.

  Education, intelligence, and easy access to information signal the death knell to virtually any authoritarian regime, as far as I'm concerned.

  Or that's what they are lead to believe. Look at how many KHs were given to them for free, and how many they have sold. That alone, without counting on their Brooklyn prime real estate, along with continuing having free labor, nope, they are just fine.

  However, to be honest, I personally don't care one way or another. They can prosper or they can go bankrupt. Either way they are out of my life. I don't need to see them suffer for me to feel ok.
