Morpheus...I always think before I post. I am not your enemy...just trying to do some brainstorming as to what the Society is hinting at when they talk about future things that may be said that seem strange from a human standpoint.
Love you man.
there are over 8 million jdubs and i would venture a guess that at least 20% to 30% are pimo.
in my opinion, the kingdom hauls are only half full for two reasons....many have left but the majority are pimo and any little excuse will keep them home and they will report their token ghost hours in service.
all it takes to stay home is being tired, too much school homework or i will go next week, no doubt many have taken part-time jobs and the fear of working the second shift and the guilt of missing meetings is gone.

This would explain why the overall numbers in the total JW count do not reflect the sharp decline indicated in the number of halls being combined.
Then we have the disfellowshipped, and the majority of which stay that way but many do return not because of their love of the desert god but because of wanting to be with family. These reinstated ones will also be PIMO's.
The 8 Popes at Warwick know that PIMO's create a problem for them and how much better it would be if they weren't around because of the example they set and it can discourage the faithful to not be so faithful.
Somehow the Popes need to get rid of them. They are going to do something that is over the top that only the JW's that become unconscious when they enter the Kingdom Hauls will fully buy into. The Watchtower has stated several times in so many words "you are going to hear some crazy stupid shit coming from the Popes that seems bizarre, but your faithful obedience to this stupid shit will save your lives at the fast approaching Great Tribulation."
I think that they may even make it much more difficult for the disfellowshipped to be reinstated since they will become more PIMO's.
I was trying to think what would be some things the Gibbering Booty may demand to put things over the top? Something that I thought of is making tithing mandatory or setting minimum hours in service to 30 to 40 hours a month for everyone, How about having several meetings a month in some bunker as trial runs for the future. Maybe showing proof that ones final will have the Watchtower Company as the sole beneficiary for everything?
What do you think? Am I out in left field with the above?

while new mega church being built right down the street!.
We will continue to sell off our kingdom hauls until the tremendous growth we have slows down.
i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.
the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.
when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.
Good point Steve

The Cartian Overlappers don't show any urgency. Now if you ask them if the end is near and if their message is urgent they will always say yes.
from 2012 thru 2016, congregations in georgia and alabama collected funds to build a new assembly hall in south atlanta.
to date, 3.5 million dollars was collected and 75 acres was purchased.
the branch decided that this assembly hall was not needed.
In the good old days the Borg lent the money to the congregation to build the new kingdom haul. The congregation over the years paid off the loan which was then owned not by the congregation but the Borg. Now the Borg doesn't even do the building...they just steal the down payment.

The Witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions. When I was an elder I loved to get into discussions and debates with Trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again. I relished the opportunity to prove that I had the truth. Today all they can say is that you can get answers at JWORG.
The JDubs look so pathetic, uncaring, ignorant, and just plain stupid as they just stand there ignoring all attempts of the ExJDub to talk with them. Some of the JW's look like Satan himself is standing in front of them. The Witnesses I am sure will brag about the persecution they receive from these apostates.
The question is if they have the truth why won't they stand up with some backbone and defend their desert god and the teachings of their 8 popes?
It is a very sad religion that no one deserves.
i did some self-reflection today trying to determine why, with every passing day, i become angrier against the watchtower company.
i am in my 70's and my health is failing.
at first, i thought it was because "worldly" people couldn't care less about jdubs and the little world they live in even though the witlesses think that the earth revolves around them and their desert god who was originally worshipped by the cainites.
It is the little things in life that normal kids had that I did not experience because of my mom joining the cult. The list would be not blowing out birthday candles on a cake, the smell of a Christmas tree in the house, the excitement of Christmas Eve, being able to watch cartoons on Saturday morning which was replaced with going out in service.
Then, of course, there were the problems at school for not celebrating birthdays, not being allowed to draw turkeys, Santa Clause, or pilgrims. I hated being poked at for not doing the pledge of allegiance as fingers pointed at me that I was one of those Jehovah's.
I hated it all.

I hope our experiences accomplish two things...keep others from getting sucked into the cult from hell and waking others up to salvage the time they have remaining in their lives.
this little nugget was found in the wt this morning, although 99.9% of people will not see it the same way i did.
"how did noah hear about jehovah?
he no doubt learned much from his relatives.
The Borg is setting the stage for the present day overlappers so they can point to this Witchtower article in 30 years to tag on another 100 years to the length of a generation with more charts and a dash of fou fou dust.
