Also I want to add that I understand that the American white male has been neglected, mistreated, rejected, maligned unfairly in the last few decades

I was quite tolerant of this guy until now
by never a jw inpresident trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.
however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".
now that has changed.

Hey, I came across this theory that at some point Real Soon Now, the world as we know it is going to end, 144,000 people will end up being transformed into inter-dimensional energy beings, and then the planet itself will be transformed into the ideal human habitat.
Sounds far fetched, I know, but I really think people should check it out.

2005 Big Announcement (Disappointment)
by Fred Franztone ini remember around 2005, there was an announcement made from the platform that in a few weeks time we would have to remain at the end of the sunday meeting for a big announcement, directly from the society.. i remember all the murmuring, people thought maybe this was going to be related to armageddon.
everyone was excited, people were speculating.
only the po in each congregation had any idea what was going on, and they were frequently pestered for information, but sworn to secrecy, which only hyped things up even more.. then the meeting came, anticipation was in the air, the announcement started, you could hear a pin drop.

Wasn't this around the time when the WTS switched from shunning the internet as being deplorable, to telling all to start using jw.org? And gradually promoted their web site only.
That came a little later. I remember the internet, and particularly social media, being openly advised against well into 2007 or so. It was around the time I had pretty much stopped going, but there was a KM article decrying the evils of MySpace and the like.

the GB's coup of the FDS
by Magnum ini believe the gb's takeover of the fds was an illegal coup - not illegal relative to the laws of land, but illegal according to jw "laws" or doctrine.. according to jw doctrine, the fds is god's channel of communication between heaven and earth.
before the coup, the fds was defined to be all the anointed on earth, and the gb was part of that group and merely the spokesman for the group - individual gb members having no more authority than non-gb members of the fds.. however, a few years ago, the gb, independently of the other members of the fds, decided that it alone was the fds.
that, to me, was an illegal overthrow of the body (fds); it was a coup.. suppose the u.s. president decided that he has all power, and that he removed the powers of the u.s. congress.

If we're being honest, all this change did was codify what every witness deep down already knew to be true anyway: The real ones in charge are the GB, and that's it. The whole "all anointed remnant are part of the F&DS" thing was just a nice mental salve to soothe the minds of the R&F, giving them something to point to so they could say, "See! We're not a cult, we don't follow any single leader, or even a small group of leaders!"
In reality, everyone knew that there was no way in hell the GB was ever going to accept a call from Joe Crazy, who just happens to drink the wine every year in some middle-of-nowhere congregation, claiming to have some new insight from the Holy Spirit on Ephesians 1:10.
I do think the GB sensed a potential threat to their leadership in leaving the definition of the F&DS so broad, and preemptively changed it to prevent some future uprising.

FWIW -- Anonymous suggests North Korea will start WWIII before the end of this year
by kpop ini know most of you don't know what anonymous is or what the real 4chan is, but both are saying that their global meta data is pointing that now with south korean elections going to a pro war candidate (moon, who is a psycho) and china saying there may be no other solution, north korea will strike first before the end of this year.
japan has called up reserves.
take it with a grain of salt.

It's interesting. Being a born-in, I often wonder how so many people from the outside could be so easily conned into going all the way to baptism. Us born-ins didn't have much of a choice, but worldly people should be able to EASILY see through all the crazy doctrines, hand-waving and dangerous beliefs. It just takes a little critical thinking, so how could so many people get swept along in it?
Then I come here, read threads like this, and it makes more sense.

Guys, an anonymous person on the most notorious troll-infested place on the internet said it. It HAS to be true. I mean, people wouldn't just go and lie on the internet.

We're going to impeach Trump . . . and make Mexico pay for it!
by Coded Logic ini have little doubt articles of impeachment will be drawn up on trump within the next year or so.
my only question at this point is what are they going to get him for?.
collusion with a foreign government to subvert an election?.

Governing Body-Part of Great Crowd
by TakeOffTheCrown init appears that the governing body members today are part of the great crowd and are not of the anointed.. to those with some knowledge of the subject, is it possible that the christian congregation would eventually be lead by those who are not anointed?

Does anyone else remember that weird out of nowhere WT article about 15 or 20 years ago, talking about the "Nethinim Class"? It was postulating that eventually the WTBS could be led by non-anointed. I remember it caused a lot of tongue wagging at the time, and then never seemed to be mentioned again.
This was around the time of the 1995 generation change, so everything felt up in the air like they were just grasping at straws.

Was thinking about this the other day, and counting up all the witness kids from when I was growing up. And when I did the math, including those who were raised but never baptized, it was right on track with the Pew Research poll's number of only around a third still self-identifying as JWs in their mid 30s.
