  Are the J.W's reaching a "Tipping point"?

  by karter in

  i haven't been to a meeting in 15 years but my mother and sister are hard as j.w's.

  the brothers they are appointing elders are at best suspect like one guy from my old hall made elder,big time drug used before becoming a j.w his talks are all over the place and would have struggled to make m,s years ago but with at least 60 to 70 % of young ones leaving the pool to pick from is at best reduced.. 2 other recent elders both young and zero life experience both on benefits one not well at all falls asleep all the time.. the decent,kind elders mostly older and are decent people with alot of life experience are burning out fast as there are so few of them left like 3 per congro of 100 publishers.. then you have the rich elders who wouldn't ever think of inviting some poor older or mis-fit person out to the expensive placers they go to as they couldn't afford to go so they are above the r&f and the r&f get pissed off with them.

  then we have the ones who have "put the kingdom 1st" who are now old worn out and barely getting by from welfare cheque to welfare cheque that are saying "the system should have been over many years ago" it's still here and they are struggling everyday.. then there are the pioneers who have a low payed reduced hour job that seem to think anyone who has anything is totally materialistic and looks down on anyone getting a new car buying a house ect.. along with the child abuse issues,the generation change,access to information the the g.b don't want anyone to know ,not to mention the issues around blood.. is there a tipping point coming????

  They crashed in membership by 75% during the rising Rutherfordian administration. That though, was a series of splinters that did not destroy the hard core membership. Plus, they had a strongman leader that took the miniscule Bible Students Association and transformed them into the militant Jehovah's Witness organization.

  Nowadays, JWs don't have any real leadership and I suspect that if something drastic happens most of the governing body will fly off, with a million bucks in their pockets, to some Caribbean mansion.

  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  If you repeat that Trump is a danger to the country 100 times a day, you might start believing it. I'm just so sick of the nutty liberal agenda. They stated from the beginning that they would not acknowledge Trump as the President! So honestly, I disregard their cries and their demagoguery.
  

  1. Trump is incompetent and a danger to this nation.
  2. Trump is still incompetent and a danger to this nation.

  What do anarchists have to do with this?
  

  OK then, what have Wikileaks and Assange have to do with anything ...
  

  That's not an explanation. You made the statement about the anarchists. I'm simply asking what their role is.

  I was working security once at Universal Studios. It was my job to stop vehicles and ask for their id. I tried to stop a semi-truck that was entering the studios but the driver whizzed by within one foot of me. I yelled so loudly that the truck stopped. Two anal orifices got out of the truck and approached me in a menacing manner. Trying to diffuse the situation I told them that they had to be nice to which they replied that they don't have to be anything. I should have called for back up.

  AllTimeJeff,

  He is a genuine p***y...

  Do I think WWIII is imminent?
  

  What I do fear is that Trump's cowardly nature will allow Putin to invade other countries. That could spark WWIII.

  I don't think wikileaks / Assange are anything but anarchists and backing by Russia wouldn't surprise me.

  JW_Rogue,
  

  I think it's highly doubtful that our election was altered by what were clearly fake news articles being published on social media.

  Never underestimate the gullibility of voters, particularly 'swing' voters.

  I'm sure if the Republicans were hacked there would also be a treasure trove of bad publicity.
  

  Both parties were hacked but only one had it's info revealed.

  Oh, are you missing out!

  Thanx for the info. I guess I must have been distracted when that happened.

  Spoletta,
  

  Meanwhile, I'll say a prayer for all those poor people in Sweden.
