Instead of circle jerking with the bible to try and prove your brand of religion, why don't you step out and so some real research on the bible and realize you are wasting your life on fairytales

Aside from JWS, how do you account for the utter dribble, inaccuracies, plagiarism, contradictions, and atrocities in the bible??? And its shit weasel desert God YHWH?

One thing that the WTS & Religion in general has going for it ....

... old people!

yeah, i know, as pete kaye would say: "old people, you can't beat 'em .... pity".. but seriously, where else would you have a bunch or 17 year old lads chatting with some 80+ year old guy?.

i remember some of the old people in our old kh and they were genuinely nice people.

I agree. There are some true gems from the great generation in there. Also a lot at that age weren't "raised" in it but converted so they are generally more well rounded to the real world.

A Comforting Thought About Watchtower

by freemindfade in

this organization will never again be what it was by 2013-2014. .

they peaked in the form they were, i believe they were already falling apart in ways, but from the outside and to the majority r&f, things likely still seemed on the up and up.

browsing through the boards and just keeping my finger on the pulse of what's happening, this organization will never again be what it was.

It will survive as long as it will. And it could go on indefinitely.

It will never be as big or influential as it was at its peak. That is my main point. However long its lifecycle will be, it's on the downside now, could take another century, who knows but it's never going back up again.

Scratchme1010 they follow the same pattern as Scientology who makes claim to their growth in square footage. Taking any money you do make (as a tax exempt religion) the only plausible thing to do with it is real estate. Then you aren't "profiting". My thought on their apex and decline has to do more with their indoctrination scope and grip. I think its slipping. In a decade or two they will probably be more like Scientology as a smaller more compact cult.

I think so. There is going to be a split. This is why I say there is not the collective mentality like there once was. I think for some who are very logical and have strong principles, they have to bend watchtowers rules in order to continue on. I've seen it in a few of my family members.

Also, I wish I could have been there with you all.
