by cookiemaster in

i need a bit of advice.

i've been pimo for a long time and fading more and more.

i occasionally attend for family but never give any answers or actively participate in any way.

Sure its easy.... the CO has limited time to squeeze visits in. He does it really as filler so he dosent have to do a lot of door to door crap.

Your busy. Whatever day whatever time they try to set up, you have something going on. Hasve a few handy excuses ready. Work doctor whatever... but your busy. Catch him next go round.

See? Your overthinking it a bit, really. Its not that deep. I doubt anyone has you pegged as an apostate. They noticed you slowing down and figured they would try to motivate you to full cultyness. Duck and weave and this wont be an issue

If you're expecting a mass exodus anytime soon, FORGET ABOUT IT!

i 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.

i am shaking all over right now.

i think it's worse that the bunker video.. i used to think there was no way that these people would actually "drink the cool aid" if you get my drift, but seeing this video i am now not sure it could never happen.. having a wife who i love dearly trapped in this cult is really freaking me out right now...

Lol oh slim.... your making a career of misquoting me. I

never said just fine.

I never said sophisticated online religion.

I have said that print is dying and rhey are making adjustments. I have said they are no longer in their hayday and cant afford to build or expand without regard for money anymore. They are not what they once were.

Now let me quote you accurately: yesterday you said they are right now collapsing. Thats what you said on this very thread one page ago. A few min ago you said they may be around 80 more years.

You are the playing a high level game of “hedge your bets”. No matter what happens you have position that covers it.

And i can totally accept that any growth is coming from small or perhaps underdeveloped countries. I dont know or really care where it is.

And again with the census? Ive already addressed in detail why jw’s may not self report to the government. Their organization instills fear of satans world that will anyday now (if they dont collapse) turn on them. Of course they dont self report. Also also, canada is one country. How in the world can i know or have insight on what the census in Canada means for world wide jw populations? Neither can you, my uk based friend.

Everyone remain calm! I have not now nor have i for many years now given one single damn as to whether or not the watchtower bible and track society “collapses” or not.

I do however, care about a realistic assessment of facts. Understanding reality is necessary to deal with reality.

The org still grows. Notice the facts i presented earlier:

2016- 8,340,847 1.8% increase

2017- 8,457,107 1.4% increase

Incontrovertable evidance of growth. Growth is the opposite of collapse. As i have also said, ad nauseum, the org will indeed one day collapse. All things die. Every country, every government, every institution, every planet, star and the universe itself will one day collapse.

But lets be realistic about when. It aint today, as slim just claimed. It wont be tomorrow. It will be one day. Look at what truly is not what you wish it to be. This is the path to inner peace.

Your welcome.

i'm listening to a podcast where a former elder describes how another elder conducted the watchtower study about hyperbole.

the elder called it hyper-bowl.

soon the whole congregation called it hyper-bowl.

Yet, when I see these debates, I see slim taking multiple sides. Look at this thread. 1 hour slim says
Literally, the next hour, he says this
This is what I'm not getting, which is it? Is the org going to have a mass exodus and collapse or simply disintegrate and slowly shrink.

Actually I think just now is exactly the time to expect a mass exodus. We are at a major turning point.

And I’m curious how Morph will react in the months and years to come as the organisation continues to disintegrate.

*boom*! DB drops the mike.

And of course slim, theres never a war between us, just feisty differences of opinion, much like the union and confederacy. I tease , of course ;) love ya slim. Even if your deluded
