What will JW.org / Watchtower be like in 15 years?

by jw07 in

over the past few days i've been reading and watching bill and melinda gates speak about their plans for a better world by 2030. they bet that due to technology and the compassion of people the world should improve more in the next 15 years than it has in all of history.

specifically lower child mortality rate, eradication of polio and guinea worm among other diseases, improvement of standards of living, greater access to education etc.. i'm a realist, so i'm not looking for miracles, but i believe most of these things are possible given the level of success they have reaped in other endeavors, and naturally emerging tech being used to make some of these projections possible.. you can see that the world is actually improving in many areas if you seek out the good news stories and statistics and look beyond the watchtower friendly fear porn about terrorism, and potential dangers from culturally diverse nations around the globe.

for instance 2014 had the lowest fatal airline accident rate in history despite the hyping of the ill fated malaysian airlines crashes.

As far as answering the OP, I'll hold on making any predictions for fear of having to release my own "new light" in the future!🙊

Your first time on this forum. What were your thoughts and feelings?

by stuckinarut2 in

hey all,.

i was just thinking back to the first time i found this awesome forum...years before i eveni joined up and starting posting myself.. i was so encouraged and happy to see that i was not alone!

i was not the only one who was observing the org, and all of its aspects and thinking "seriously?

Crisis of Conscience

I was scared and nervous! I had never ever searched for "spiritual" questions and answers online. Nothing outside of what the WTBTS provided. And I knew this site just had to be apostate!But I couldn't help but notice a ring of truth relating to exactly how I felt. And I couldn't talk to anyone else about my thoughts and feelings. Despite those initial feelings I continued to read.Then I created an account and here I am!

I haven't seen one video of these knuckleheads speaking yet. And I have no intention.

I hear and see enough of their crap on this site.

It's so sad though that the brainwashing has intensified because of these videos and that site.

I can't remember the last time I went out in service.

But I'll tell you what, I don't sure as hell don't miss it!

I worked out this morning for a good cause! I feel much more satisfaction from that!

New forum: one month progress report

by Simon in

well, we survived the first month at least!

yes, the new forum is now 1 month old.. of course there have been some issues and i'm grateful that people have been patient while i worked on them.

a big thank-you to everyone who's been patient, have provided useful feedback or just been willing to adapt to something new during the transition.. i've also made some improvements along the way and am fairly happy with how things are from a basic functionality and performance perspective so it's time to start looking at some of the new features i've been planning.
