What can they expect, is that a 'sucker' is born every minute. It's the born-ins that usually pay.

What would Jesus be doing?
by eyeslice inwould he be working on the massive audio/visual complex being built at ramapo?.
i overheard my wife listening to some update broadcast this morning and immediately thought would a true humanitarian such as jesus, mahatma gandhi or albert schweitzer be at all interested in such things?
these were 'people' persons not interesting in the stupid trappings of life.. if the gb were to sanction the building of hospitals, orphanages, refugee centers and the like, maybe we would have a little more respect for them but this ramapo project seems like a sense waste of time, energy and money.

Jesus would be praising the Governing Body. According to the GB.

How did you find Jehovah's Witness meetings?
by Vanderhoven7 ini personally have only attended a handful of meetings at kingdom halls.
i did not enjoy any of them nor was i impressed by anything that was conveyed.
perhaps others did not find them boring as i did.. nadia viotto has this to say about her experience.

I can't say anything more about Ray Franz' Crisis of Conscience. It was a 'clincher',,eye-opener.
But to cap it off, it was Ray Franz' In Search of Christian Freedom. Now that was the icing on the cake. It's like cake, you have to have the icing on the cake to top it off. Many comment on Crisis of Conscience how influencial that was, but to me it was In Search of Christian Freedom that really cleared things up for me. Luckily, I was able to track a copy of ISOCF on Amazon for a reasonable price before the pandemic in 2019.
Mr. Penton's books ''Apocalypse Delayed' and ''The Third Reich'',,, also extremely eye-opening and instrumental books,,, masterpieces.
The JW's literature you then realize is ''extremely slanted' in portraying the JW's only as being ''so called loyal'' in their propaganda. Mr Penton relates how many JW's unfortunatly succummed to Nazi pressure,,and gave into pressure.. He relates how other Christian groups besides JW's faced unrelenting persecution and how JWs are no way unique in their claims that they are the 'only' group in facing persecution.

I'm a Generation X, and I can clearly say that I clearly got into the 'internet age' around 2001-04 timeframe we finally got internet in our house at that time.... and my 'spiritual awakening' in the years to follow. It just unravels like nothing, awakening, enlightening.
My awakening,,,,,wasn't all at once. I can't pinpoint to an exact time or place,,,,I just realized over time I wasn't alone and that I shouldn't feel bad for my 'enlightening, awakening'. That there were probably 1000's of people like me.
To some people their 'awakening' is a traumatic, terrifying experience. For me, it was so 'gradual', which is probably why it why so painless and devastating.

Yeah, COC. Wow. 2 out of 3 votes to pass something.
Mr Franz related how other GB members would keep their hands 'down',,,,but onlly to 'raise' their hands as these guys seen certain guys on the GB raise their hands,,,they would bend and raise their hands in submission in a way to more powerful GB members. This would sway the vote to the majority.
Which these 'weazel" like guys would affect the lives of thousands JW's tremendously. Jaw-dropping.

Ummm, maybe if some of their ''policies'' were to be done away with,,,perhaps they would see more positive results in developed countries with internet access. Their policies HAVE to change,,,the Borg will never do that.

We only see the Borg sustained by it's own birthrate. If that. Millennials and GenZ's have access to their iphones and tablets all the time and they can see through B.S. 24/7,,, whenever they want.

Meetings seem canned, unemotional & mechanical. There's more life and enthusiasm in a large storage shed.
