  by cofty in

  it's that time of year again when i can get back on the fields with the metal detector looking for ancient stuff.

  the first field to be harvested was full of peas - ideal as it leaves no stubble and it's a two minute walk from my house.

  it has given up two coins in two visits this week.. the first one is a cut-half silver penny from the reign of henry ii.

  EU Court Ruling Against WT on Data-Protection

  by cofty in

  today's london times reports on the july ruling of the eu court that forces the organisation country to comply with data protection.. the action originated in finland but the ruling will affect every eu country.

  the cult tried unsuccessfully to argue that the notes taken by jws in the door-to-door work were personal and not accessed by the congregation.

  the court ruled that they are acting under the auspices of the congregation and therefore they must comply with data-protection laws.. keeping lists of do-not-calls also falls under this ruling.. why does the cult always feel that it is above the law?.

  ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.

  honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.

  to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.

  Lets try this one more time....

  Take out the kids not baptized and all the missing ones and you have less then 5 million baptized members maybe even less then 4 million.

  You cant take missing ones out of the number. They are are already “missing”

  Smh.... how can you take out “ missing” ones? By definition they are already missing. Stop trying to be smart.

  Your faling into the slim trap of counting buildings.

  It. Dosent. Matter.

  if you put a every single jw in a building by themself and say you have 8 million congregations thats the exact same membership as having all 8 million in one congreation

  i have said from the begining that i object to “collapse” not to the idea that the org has declined as compared to 10 or 20 years ago.

  Collapse has a very specific meaning that slim and his fan base have bastardized. According to webster:

  3.

  (of an institution or undertaking) fail suddenly and completely.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  That in no way describes the org. Words mean things.

  It is, sparky, at least a citation of some sort of facts, and not some random popping off of nonsense.

  I dont see where the chart indicates if that figure is individual or family? A family of two making 30k a piece isnt great but its better than an individual making 30k to orovide for a family. The nonsense spouter said it was 30k a family.

  According to thier own statistics they loose over a million members every decade.

  Lol what?? What stat is that? Where is that published? Last i heard 40k a year are df’d. Thats only 400k a decade, no where near a million. Citation needed.

  This was sustainable years ago but not anymore. There just not enough new ones coming in. Add to the mix that 50% of JW families in the US make a combined income of less then 30,000 per year.

  Lol what (again)? Where do you get that stat? The org dosent ask nor do they track income of members. Citation needed .

  They may not be hurting for money anymore but that’s do to cut backs and downsizing not donations. What’s really sad is the young ones that seem to stay are so reliant on their parents. Thier just so ingnorant they can’t make it on their own so they stay with mommy and daddy.

  Lol what? (Yet again) where do you get that conclusion? Citation needed.

  as it happened that peice of hooey may be true but only because its true accross the USA as a whole. Kids are living longer woth mommy and daddy but it has nothing to do with the cult.

  In the future whole families , 3 and 4 generations of family will still be living together, which is uncommon in the US

  rotflmao. Bull. Shit. Citation needed. As i noted a paraph ago, kids are living longer at home. It has nothing to do with the org. Here is my citation:

  http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/05/05/its-becoming-more-common-for-young-adults-to-live-at-home-and-for-longer-stretches/?amp=1

  Your post is full of supposition and nonsense. Please, at least press the google button once before spouting off nonsense. Save everyone the aggravation of being assaulted with your ignorance.
