LHG;
This religion is almost kaput.
It is now evident by the a$$emblies or CONventions. You'd see arenas prior covid with rivers of empty seats.
Now smaller venues,, much smaller venues.
They were saying on SixSreens recently,,,, I think it was Gilbert Gonzalez that you can tell by how a circuit is performing. Is by how well attended assemblies or conventions are.
say it ain’t so!
.
in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?
Dagney asked why are some verses taken literally & not others??
Thats what I'd like to know & many others
Its called "" cherry picking "".
Making things to suit their own narrative.

That point should be evident & abundantly clear,,,,the GB are losing their grip on doctrine.
Maybe they never had any grip.
is it just me or has there been a massive change in jws of late?.
when i grew up in the cult they had a real sense of urgency and would do an hour minimum, these days it’s not even ten mins before coffee break.. same goes for everything else, it’s half hearted .
For soooooo little in return.
Just a grandiose illusion just a perpetually a little out of reach.
And a pat on the back.

" you cant fix stupid"". LoL.
But seriously. Adults should have the freedom & right to choose the treatment they want.
Without repercussions.
Seriously.🙂

Yeah.
The GB is just out of touch with reality.
The other day on SixSreens a guest was outlining how some GB members have not worked or had to earn a living in 3 or more decades.
Especially the older long time GB members.
You hear these super irritating WT studies and talks about forgoing work & education to serve,,,,, them!!!!

Probably,,,, each subsequent generation is more intelligent & more savvy than the former.
The advent of the internet.
The information age.
And the cost of living. People work longer,, things cost more,,commute,,,,
People dont have time for religion anymore. And giving up time & energy & receiving so little in return.

I hear dreadful experiences of conventions in the 1950s of 5 plus days conventions.
Imagine its 95degrees in the shade sitting there on bleachers. Having to camp out in crowded campgrounds with no a/c,, mosquitos,, flies & outhouses.
I remember growing up in the 1980s of the convention starting on Thursday afternoon & lasting all weekend in some arena all day on plastic moulded seats. No a/c & crowded concourses.

TonusOH
Yes. The partakers of memorial emblems could now soon balloon exponentially.
And the problem with end times groups they move the goalposts.
They will gaslight and say "we never said.....".
Please do hang on to older WT literature. In earnest!!!
