Thanks for putting those numbers together! It is going to be fun to watch what the future holds for the Borg. Normal middle class families are not joining. Long term that is bad news for jdubs. That would be a really slow bleed though. I am hoping that something way more exciting happens.
i'm seeing tons of comments from sad jws on my facebook feed saying that the beloved golden calf jw.org is offline.. what are you seeing when you try it?
*crosses fingers* i wish it could never ever return.. are they getting too much traffic to support?.
work of hackers?
It must just be the mobile site that is having problems

According to isitdownrightnow.com it has been down for over 9 hours.
wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.
i've noticed about half my half are using these.
of course there's always the potential for people to be looking at things non jw on them.
are the society going to find a way to police this?

at my hall I am certain. It's just a modem/router. I don't know enough to know if there is technology you could plug into to trace all the websites. I don't think you can request that from your ISP either.

I don't think there is anyway to police it. I will tell u what though! I love using the halls wifi to go on apostate websites during the meetings. It's somewhat exhilarating.
i know this has been talked about in the past but im new here..

i don't see any problem in thinking that you can gain a decent moral compass from the Borg. I guess that is only in my case and is probably more of a result of a great mother. Regardless, Me and most of my friends ascribe to be good husbands and fathers. I try not to drink to much. I'm not gonna cheat on my wife. I work hard. I don't steal.
i don't doubt that you can gain these traits outside of the Borg. I also don't doubt that you can be raised jdub and be a horrible person. Regardless I have to think that some of what I am is a result of my history as a witness.

u obviously are an active witness as am I. I no longer believe so I come on here and post and it doesnt bother me. Why doesn't it bother u to go against the Borgs counsel. Im honestly no trying to poke at you. Just curious about your reasoning.

Yes there is def some good. Nothing is all evil all the time. I find that he friends for my young kids at the hall are great play mates. Also the group of friends that I have there I will never replace once I decide to leave for good. Some may disagree with this but I have great friends there. I know they will choose the Borg over me but they are brain washed. That doesn't mean they aren't good friends in the mean time. It also does give a decent moral compass. I think that I am a pretty decent person now and part of that is as a result of the Borg. I am also good with people which helps me run my business.
But in the end.......
It's still A cult!
