i seen that practically every jdubb i grew up with are married and have kids or one is on the way.
it's kind of depressing to me since i'm still single and have no kids.
@piztjw I've seened that stated before on this forum. I think I did overhear some elders saying count the kids too while I was still in. So I know this is close to the truth
would that change your view on the account???
that's.
plausible.. .
LMAO imagine that Parrot with the voice of Gilbert Gottfried, like Iago in Aladin. That would have been the first animal killed in history and mankind would be redemption free!😜

@Punkofnice Great point. The time was supposed to be “short”. Guess it's helps with the attendance count for right now. I'm sure they're counting the babies. The numbers will look good until that 11 year old or 12 year old grows up and wakes up. There was a couple I was close to. They are a few years older than me. I remember vividly, sitting over lunch with them and talking about the world. I stated that “I wonder how the world will be in 10 years?”. They were quick to say that they don't think that we have 5 years in this system. That was 7 years ago and they are now having a child in their mid 30's. I think they know that “New System” isn't coming anytime soon.

@DesirousOfChange yeah that is true. Though, the Witnesses best way of increasing their numbers is to have children. It's more effective than the witnessing, with the long converting process.The numbers will be more in their favor with more child bearing. The number of Witnesses compared to the world population is small anyway. A few born-ins that stay in can still look good for them.

It's kind of depressing to me since I'm still single and have no kids. I think of the situation though, if I was still in, would I be married with children? I shudder to think of raising a kid in that cult. It was a sigh of relief thinking about it the yesterday. I think of the ones who had a hard time -some still do- in leaving with a marriage and kids. That is a hard situation. My life now, I may be struggling with some things now. I work my ass off on 2 jobs for 16 hours+ and I have little time for anything really. I'm trying to get more certifications for one of my jobs, so I can make more money and quit the other one. Time has flown by these last few years with my departure from the Organization. A lot of changes to the doctrines and friends I've known moving on with their lives. Some seem real happy and I wonder what they're really thinking about what's going on with the organization. It's great for them to have kids and have some happiness with it. I only hate that these kids will be 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation Witnesses that are trapped in the cult. Wish there was a way to open these guys eyes about the TTAT more quickly and not continue this cancer in future generations. THIS BORG NEEDS TO SHUTDOWN! IT'S RUINED ENOUGH LIVES ALREADY!
i really don't get it.. in most sports in most countries your career is rightly over if you commit certain crimes.. but not in the good old nfl !.
it seems players can rape, beat women, abuse children, fight dogs ... and they will not only be allowed to play but they will have an army of fans wearing their names on their shirts and cheering them on.. the abuse and arrogant attitudes seem to exist at all levels - it seems like there is an endless feed of news stories where some high-school or college football players have abused or raped girls and they end up being allowed back to play and people rallying round as though *they* are the victims.. surely, whatever someone's skills as an athlete are, there are some things that simply can't be excused?.
or is winning truly 'everything' and it doesn't matter the cost?.
It's a part of American society. The country was built on violence and oppression. Americans look to superstar celebrities and envision their life through theirs. Social media has helped drive this even more. It helps build these people up, get followers, and bring them down when accusations arise. People are FOLLOWERS here. You can look good, sound good, or just have a product people like and they will follow you to the edge of a cliff. It's America. However, we can't say that other countries don't have these problems. Many of America's more popular entertainers receive a lot of love from foreign fans and entities.

It's been a problem in the NFL for a long time. The art or sport imitates life. Really though, it's a society issue, because these players don't just pop up in the NFL. They come from bad backgrounds and slide through the educational system. The numbers of domestic violence may seem high compared to outside the league, but it's a law of averages.
You have 53 players on 32 teams which adds up to 1,696. Add up to 8 players that can be on each teams practice squad and you end up with over 1,800 players in the NFL. If you have just 3% of those players get into some case of domestic violence, that's 54 players. That may seem like a lot but the total number of players are a small fraction of society. Whatevers the case, these problems are not going away. The league can let the bad players that are convicted of crimes go and these people will be part of regular society. They will not be public figures anymore, will bring their problems and possibly create more crimes.
Really looking at it though, the NFL doesn't guarantee contracts and ANY player can be released at ANY time. It can be for performance or in the current situations, conduct issues. These careers are extremely finite. IMHO, the bad players eventually get weeded out of the league. Their criminal record catches up with them or their team just loses patience with their conduct.
