The apathy will have a debilitating effect on the pimi demographic in the congregation. Keep up the good work slackers!

9A luncheon with ultra PIMI, elderly relatives
by joe134cd ini had a luncheon yesterday with and aunt and cousin.
the only reason i went, and endured it, was because my father who can’t drive wanted to see them.
as i sat there eating the lunch at the restaurant, i couldn’t help think how totally oblivious they are to what’s going on, in an ever expanding organisation of the happiest people on earth.

What`s the reason some of you think JW`s are in decline ?
by smiddy3 infrom 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 ?.

Many middle aged jws that I know are just coasting until their parents die and then will fade or DA.

My old congregation is being shuttered
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini 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.

They are closing congregations in our circuit as well. There are now 15 congregations where 20 years ago there were 24.
It’s the old people dying off and the young ones moving to the big city and fading.

Canada Bethel (Georgetown) to begin renovations early 2017
by Richard_I ina letter was just read at my midweek meeting that georgetown (canada bethel) will have renovations done on it beginning spring 2017. the letter asked for publishers who are electricians/plumbers/etc.
and in good standing to apply to help out.
those helping out will be considered "part-time commuters" and will only be at the property for about 3 days a week and must reside outside of bethel and pay for all their own expenses.

The CO mentioned it twice. The second time he told parents of teenaged boys to encourage their kids into the needed trades so they could help at bethel construction when they turned 18.
They must have delayed the renovations due to lack of funds or COVID.

I’m at a circuit assembly and the circuit overseer is still begging for free labour on this project. He says it will take 6 or 7 years to complete.
They must be behind of schedule as this thread is 7 years old.

Did Jehovah help soo hing or did the taxpayers of the country she resides in?
It certainly wasn’t Jehovahs earthly organization because they fight tooth and nail to avoid paying taxes but are quick to send their members to collect benefits and give the credit to their sky daddy.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Mental Health

I have an older relative who’s been a jw since childhood. This person has had so much jw induced trauma in their life due to following the rules of the religion. They have so much sunk costs for all the sacrifices they have made they will never leave or see ttatt .
I’ve observed several closeted alcoholics in the ranks of older jws. Just trying to cope I would assume.
The irony is that the current topic or recent topic for conversation in the ministry is about mental health.

July 2023 Study Watchtower - Great Tribulation is coming soooooooooooooon!
by BoogerMan inis this the "great tribulation" which jesus warned he would bring upon the corrupt christian congregations worldwide, (revelation 2:22; 7:14) or is it the same 1st century g.t.
which he said would never occur again?
(matthew 24:21).

Maybe it will be the great tribulation as mentioned in acts 7:11, yes the great tribulation that watchtower never mentions. Food shortages and famine.
I hate how they criticize other religions for cherry picking scriptures but are masters of it themselves.

The corrosive nature of CRT
by LoveUniHateExams indiane abbot has been temporarily suspended from the labour party whilst they investigate her behaviour.. what's she done?.
it was leaked that a first draft of a letter she was going to write had the claim that jews can't experience racism.. the influence of crt is obvious.
according to this warped worldview, there are two types of people, oppressors and oppressed.

Crazy, as they have been one of the most oppressed groups in history, and that is why they do so well financially. They work together as a group and that leads to their success
