i think the jw goal is...to be a witness of jehovah.
which is a man-made name for god. god is also man made.
so...jehovahs witnesses are a bit pointless really.
what's is the goal of this religion?.
i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?
they dont seem to do anything.

" It's always a messy mixture of personal and WT policy, "
how very true--ive seen this in my own family. its all about control freakery.
and how long will it last?
and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?
the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.

" Keep in mind that during this last generation,"
err--do you mean overlapping last generation , brother ?
i've taken the bible lessons but have never attended a kingdom hall.
i was curious as to what point they begin to tighten the screws of control?
let's say you're a baptist.
ehh ? you joined this site 10 years ago--posted 100's of times--but managed to avoid attending a kingdumb hall in that time. wow
why ?
for my first shunniversary i reached out to the local ex-dubs that i know.
i invited 11 total to join me in a little get together at a local restaurant, then back to my house to hang out.
one friend asked if he could invite others, and i encouraged him, and all, to do so.
from my experience--apart from the cult--i have very little in common with most ex dubs. i have met quite a number at get togethers over the years.
how many people really want to share past experiences in the cult ? most want to forget about it and move ahead with their lives.
one hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.
and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??
?.
It was the date when war broke out in heaven and Satan and his angels were hurled into the vicinity of the earth, Jesus was crowned King and began ruling over a New Heavens and a New Earth. Have you no eyes, man?
oh--thats good to know. so jesus is now ruling over a new earth. cool.
