It will probably be a "generational" thing.
The born in children will mostly leave, and very few will ever come into the org from the territory.
Hence, as the old-timers die off, the numbers will fall...

If you're expecting a mass exodus anytime soon, FORGET ABOUT IT!
by nowwhat? ini have to make a token appearance at the k.h.
once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.
and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

JW Decline: additional data from Aust 2016 census
by shepherdless inabout 9 months ago, i started this thread:.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6298997348106240/aust-2016-census-observations-jws-getting-older-more-kids-leaving-30-group-arent-returning.
i have had a little spare time, so i thought i would present some of the data in a more user friendly manner, with some additional detail.. 1. median age.

So it was not given by a local speaker??
Ah wow...the days are coming when there will be no need for the local brothers to give talks!
Just press play, and the highly controlled and scripted Orwellian style propaganda will spew forth from the TV screens....

Another "Special" talk about "Special" information from the Almighty?
Yup....same old same old:
"You are not worthy, you need divine favour, you need to work hard in God's service, don't sin, and give money to the Almighty because he cant seem to provide for himself....."
Wash rinse repeat....

Is porn really such a big problem in the wt?
by purrpurr inin the most recent circuit assembly there was a lot about porn and warning against porn.
even warning against looking at swim wear adverts!
so i was wondering, is porn really such an issue in the wt?.

Sexual repression and control are a hallmark of high control religious groups.
It adds to the narrative that "you are sinful and imperfect and in need of divine favour"
The WT org is also drawing more attention to the topic by continuing to bang on about it!
Here is a funny and entertaining insight into humanity:

"DO NOT look here! Seriously...just dont!"
by stuckinarut2 inok, so you all looked here??.
this thread is prompted by losch's stupid 'decrees' in the march 2018 broadcast, where he denounced online information that may be 'negative' about the organization.. it strikes me that the gb are so dumb!
the moment someone says "dont look at something", human curiousity will make most people look.

I hear you Carla! My very-in Elder father is the same.
I consider him to be a fairly intelligent man in most other areas of life, with the ability to analyse things.....but NOT when it comes to matters of faith and JW stuff in general.

Why are there more sisters than brothers at the Kingdom Hauls?
by Sour Grapes ini have always wondered why there are more females than males in all of the congregations that i have visited?
some of these females are in their 70's so maybe their husbands have died and women just live longer.
or could the reason be that years ago men were the breadwinners and women stayed home to raise the children thus they were home during the week when the jdubs came a knocking?

Is no one going to say it?
Kingdom HAULS?? haha
Best ironic play on words I have seen for a long time! Such an appropriate term denoting the gathering place of brain-dead witnesses!
Nice one Sour Grapes

That is a REALLY good point Carla!
I had not thought about it from the standpoint of a householder! You're spot on. Once the JW tells them to go online to "their official site", it's just a matter of time before a normal person clicks to other less flattering sites!
