I agree re/scant number of bodies in attendance at conventions but not sure they're collapsing (unfortunately) soon. We've all read churches are packed/folding - it can't be both and WT holding good in comparison. Not sure that's true in US. Maybe folks just stay comfy and watch the TV evangelizers like they do NASCAR. Hard to tell with no PIMOs in mainstreamer churches. Compared to the early 90s the attendance is sparse.

Blondie's "highlights" from the May 2024 Study WT Paragraphs 1-10
by blondie ini have not read a wt for many years, but a comment on jwn prompted me to check out this one study article #19. i was stunned, they addressed many observations i have made in the "comments you will not hear" over the years.
this segment will contain comments on the section called what we do not know paragraphs 1 through 10. i will post what we do know” in another original post covering paragraphs 11 through 17”.
1) definition of "king of the south" and "king of the north.

Photos of convention attendees roped/corralled off posted all over the internet had to be embarrassing for WT or they're too busy gloating about the cheap rental rate negotiated. After all, they're real estate experts.
Bet the papparazzi nazi is on patrol this year - no cell phone photos allowed inside arenas other than designated areas. Another bozo no-no for JWs.

They must also change the treatment of those who dissociate themselves from the JWs. It is inevitable
by LaFrancia infrom reddit ex jw, a user posted this material of a hypothetical new light on dissociated people......i'm posting it only for the record, nothing else is known.
it seems that the topic has been deleted either by the moderators or by the user himself.
understanding dissociation in light of the scriptures.

All that secret wealth/luxurious lifestyle to flaunt watches/designer suits for entertainment/theatre image. Maybe they should rock some 'jesus' sandals with their GQ attire/beards. Appearance is important on stage and beards to display popular style/touch of mainstream freedom. What freedom - can you stand it! Beards for public appeal and membership drive-delusions.

Longy -- YES -- I couldn't believe all the slugs living off the government (actually taxpayers!) and conning every one they possibly could inside the hall. A couple of the clergy class (elders) solicited for them -- makes me sick thinking about it! I heard many JWs lie and claim to have mental issues to qualify for government aid/handouts and peddle for WT. Many individuals will do anything (pioneer) to fit in/be accepted. It's the norm for JWs throughout US to use the gov.

Russell ran a men's retail store or manufacturer/merchant - huge difference! Wasn't the shop owned by his father?
