Yep, for me the (constant) bookstudy of Revelation book and the Isaiah, Daniel and Jeremia fantasy history books together with the 1995 change of this generation was too much to stay in. Since then part of the fading class.

The point at which you think this may not be the truth
by LevelThePlayingField ini remember one of the nights that i found out the truth wasn't the truth, that is after finding out about the united nations, i remember riding my bicycle from like 1am till 5am in the city night.
it was rather chilly, maybe about 55-60 degrees and i was playing pink floyd's dark side of the moon album in my earbuds.
just riding and riding, not really tiring because of the thought that 7 men in brooklyn had duped me, duped me for like 20 plus years.

4 milion empty seats every week is not that good. Then you are selling a product for a too small market. In the marketing field you have some options then: costs down, employee downgrade, searching for new products and new markets (and need money to invest for research), and "cash cow", milking it out.
They:
- are trying to have the cost down, they do an employee downgrade, and sell their assets for cash, so the religion we see now is being milking out, that's what it is. It's all explainable. Bah, all those educated brothers for seeing through their acts. (:

Brother and sister CO looked like the persons on this picture. It was evident that the two didn't expect us to see. And it was evident, they did not enjoyed it to see us. 😂😂😂

2017 Sunday RC Final Talk & Comments About 1975
by baldeagle inmany of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".
this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.
we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.

Why is this topic part of the convention program?
Is it an actual jw discussion?
Don't understand the reason for it.

That's why we proudly build a new world headquarter in Warwick, bought an own fiber Telecom company, participate in OCSE, plan a new UK headoffice and are happy when president Putin gives an order to a JW family.
