  How can we prove the Messianic kingdom was set up in heaven in 1914?

  'they turn the story around to make it seem like you are at fault, deflecting attention and blame away from them to make you feel guilty.

  this type of emotional manipulation is called gaslighting.. .

  deflection is manipulation, and if it's coupled with other toxic relationship behaviors, it may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation.'.

  Rutherford had an assembly talk in circa 1940 ,,,had all the young ones gather at the front of the stage advising them to never marry or have kids.

  But only to serve the Borg,,, I mean,, WT,,,I mean Jah.

  What`s the reason some of you think JW`s are in decline ?

  from what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.

  is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.

  Maybe because the Borg was caught lying and plagiarizing in their magazines.

  Could be a reason for their decline.

  My old congregation is being shuttered

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  i just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.

  it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.

  the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

  1290 jw congregations have been deleted since 4th dec 2022. i have a full map so you can explore active/deleted congs, and also orphaned halls https://analytics.jws-library.one/viewmap.html.

  many of the deletions in the usa appear to be foreign language groups.

  Maybe this is the beginning of the end of the Borg as we know it.

  Being totally shuttered down and going online.

  No wonder the big cash & grab somewhere around 2014.

  When the Borg instructed the congregations to hand over all $$$$$ except to leave $5000.00 in their local accounts for minor repairs.
