  The Watchtower Org will die.

  by Freeandclear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?

  etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.

  i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.

  as the elderly life long dubs now die off---and those with a reasonable amount of intelligence accept they have been conned and fade away--it will just leave the hard core bat shit crazy that need the watchtower to make their decisions for them.

  however--that last category include the poor pioneers--the unemployable--the large family / low income types that are really of no use to the mothership. they dont put enough money in the pot.

  so--the smart money will move out of watchtower bricks and mortar--just leaving an empty shell to rehash the same old nonsense theyve been good at for the last 100 years.

  i give it one more generation.

  What's the purpose of being a JW now?

  by MrTheocratic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the recent changes to this religion, what really is the purpose of being a jw?

  especially for those who have been in and witnessed all the changes and still no sight of the end.

  for these ones in particular (35-55 year olds) they must be in a state of confusion.

  Giordano said---- Getting out in our young twenties was the game changer for our lives.

  Respectfully.... what's wrong with family? These times when a loved-one needs help can be the most rewarding for a carer.

  
  

  oh--and the rest of his family--all living within a mile of him--never cared for him----or even visited him.

  why ?

  because they are all jehovahs witnesses !

  sounds good--in theory. my dad lived with me beforehand--but after a month in hospital with heart failure--the specialsts felt it would be more than i could cope with---and he need professional trained carers--which he got--and lived a full life for the next 3 years.

  i experienced the above. my jw dad went into a home 3 years ago--which meant a change of congregation. an elder-friend of his visited a few times to start with. then a couple of elders--who knew him well--from the new cong came a few times. plus an elderly sister who lived nearby and knew him 40 years ago. all visits stopped within a year. i think he was still a believer till he slipped into a coma and died a week later.

  Why not try to engage the cart attendant in conversation. A simple question...such as "would you say your open minded about your religion?" See how the react...and take it from there.
