when were the jw`s at there peak. i remember when i became a witness in 1986 there seemed to be almost an electricity in the air in my part of the world nottingham england (for all those outside the uk where robinhood legend comes from).
when we went on the ministry there would sometimes be as many as 60 people mainly in there early twenties, we couldnt fit in one room and had to stand outside sometimes, now when i see the jw`s out and about there maybe 4 or 5 in number mainly old people.
i remember those days, coming to the end of the cold war, berlin wall coming down, band aid (feet of clay prophecy) peace and sercurity etc etc, it seemed arrmageddon was just round the corner, of course the jw`s still had there sell by date then (1914 gen)
was it just me? was that when the witnesses were at there strongest.
when i speak to old friends who still are jw`s the enthusiasm seems to have gone, they don`t really seem to have the same conviction anymore, is that because the sell by dates gone.
would love to hear your comments, what was it like in the previous decades 50`s 60`s 70`s...you know how the wt dosent like you to look back...
