I will agree with you. I'm 41 and I recall all those good old days. We had 4 day assembleys, 3 times a week meetings, field service, GB members visiting our country, giving special 2 hour talks(only to the "spiritual ones")On Sunday field service at the mid 80's had 100 people (cong,of 140)
Now it is all gone down the drain...I see Mormons more often in the streets preaching rather than JW's(and I live in an Orthodox country) I believe that after the generation "definition"in 1995 WT has lost many things that could use to control JW's.
1.Generation is gone. The importance of 1914 again is gone since those that supposed to be alive and see the end, now are dead
2.The preaching work was supposed to separate the sheeps from goats. Now this is gone, so doesn't matter if you preach or not since preaching does not separate any long
3.New ones actually are in from 1995 and onwards, most in my age left WT, and young ones don;t really care
Time is against WT. Their time is running out
