  Hi Ms. Growing Girl.

  I know where you are coming from. It is the toughest thing I have ever done to come to grips with this fact.... The organization is not directed by God or his spirit. It is just another man made organization that has done a great job of using the scriptures to their own benefit. There are many reasons I do not believe anymore but the single biggest for me is that Holy Spirit cannot inspire false prophecy.

  Its tough to swallow because like you, my whole life I had been confident that I had the truth and everyone else was wrong. Now I have to start over from scratch and sift through my knowledge and feelings to determine what is real or manufactured.

  Honestly I am ok with that because now I will make choices and analyze information for myself and come to a personal conclusion that is not influenced by any twisted frame of reference based on my background in the religion or by social pressures from my friends and family in the religion.

  Hang in there Sis.

  likely most poeple feel that they at times can and should be both , that is a teacher or a student.

  i know i have learned and gained much insight into many things here.. but most often.

  fail to make acknowledgement... not sure why i guess i hate for a person to feel i am flattering them or kissing up.

  we believe that 99.9% of earths population will be soon put to death because of their unrighteousness and hatred of god.

  Not representatives of the society? You report your hours to the society, the branch formally appoints pioneers and elders.

  How is it possible that you can be formally appointed by an entity and yet not be a representative of the same entity?

  many people will scoff at the thought that the org will collapse.

  i agree that it will never collapse but the crumbling has begun.

  think about the following.....they have a serious lack of potential future leaders.

  They have a serious lack of potential future leaders. If you get a chance and know any elders that went to recent week long school, ask to see their class picture. It will be evident that the majority of the current pool of elders is made up of men in their 50's and up. More and more talks and articles are being prepared to try to encourage young men to reach out. They won't because they can see that the "privilege" is nothing more than a life sentence to organizational servitude. The printing industry is dying. The society needs a product to sell. Historically it has been magazines and books. These are quickly becoming obsolete forms of communication. What are the pubs going to sell in 20 years? A peek at a tablet video? Who is going to contribute for that? The theology is stale. 1914 was a 100 years ago. Nothing has happened. The world conditions are improving instead of getting worse. The # of anointed is increasing. The policy of shunning is not sustainable in the age of Facebook. Some people just aren't listening to the counsel to avoid df family members. This weakens the arrangement. This practice is increasingly being exposed in the press as extreme and fanatical. It is. No one wants to be perceived as a hateful religious nut. That's why if you ask a witness, "do you shun family?" they will always lie and answer "no" even if they really do. (there are some here who are being shunned by family. I hope that the next few years brings a change to that situation) Lastly the Internet is a major problem. Anyone can go online and research Jehovah's Witnesses and see the truth about the organization. They can do this from a pc, tablet or phone. More and more news articles about the society have comments enabled. These comments have links to critical information. Witnesses will inevitably see the truth about the truth. To sum up The crumbling has begun......

  It's simply a scam that attempts to be self sustaining. Zordino is right that collections are down due to the changing model of the publishing industry and recruitments are down due to the Internet. What else does the society have that can be converted to cash? Their product doesn't sell, the publishers are tapped out, so th only thing left is to sell the real estate portfolio.
