org is dying

by lambsbottom in

i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

I have a theory that some ex-JWs need to believe that the org is indestructible because it has had such a strangle hold on their life that it becomes a nemesis. They would find it hard to accept that this all powerful thing that controlled their lives for so long could disappear.

In the case of our old congregation it's simple maths. Half the congregation is over 70 and most of those will die in the next 20 years. The Internet has prevented normal new people joining in the last 15 years. The org will still be there in 20 years but it will look vastly different. After that I can't predict.
