what do you think would happen to jehovah's witnesses as a religion and as a people?.

Watchtower is a real estate company, buying, building, selling, buying, selling,......that's what they do. It's a successful business. Out of the printing business and into latest technology media business, another smart corporate decision saving millions. Taking in $$$$$ and streamlining operations. Billion dollar operation is not going anyplace.

I said earlier this is speculation and it is. The corporation is not going bust. I am all over the Hudson Valley in NY surrounded by dozens of multi million dollar commercial and residential properties owned by the corporation. They are in a never-ending state of demolition, remodeling, rebuilding, new construction -- it never stops. I see their fleets of new and late model trucks and machinery. The corporation reminds me of a dirt poor nation because the dictator steals the wealth of the nation and has 10 palaces. That's where their money is. And remember, it's not about religion and worship, religion is just the hook to keep people coming, it's is about men with self important attitudes and swelled heads buying high end properties and building up corporate headquarters. That's it.

To add to my previous comment......6 months after the corporation breakup the dynamics/reaction many of the witnesses would have will be completely different than immediately after. Get past the shock and emotion thinking changes.

Speculation but here goes. 40 percent deeply tramatized, but would soon enjoy the freedom, 20 percent tries to keep things going as is, 10 percent form various spli ter groups, 30 percent walk away thinking that's enough of that shit.
when i was a jw elder and dreamed of living in paradise, i pictured all of the animals, beautiful people, perfect weather, welcoming back the dead and teaching them about god.
the only problem is to get to the point of making the earth a paradise first there will be around 8 billion bodies to bury.
then how are we going to dig through all of the rubble and collapsed buildings using what tools?
I'm sure I am not the only one that remembers back in the 1970's when we started building quick build Kingdom Halls and the RBC was developed there was always talk that Jehovah was training us now for the big rebuilding work to come after Armageddon. A lot of enthusiam back in those days and the quick builds were much better than going to the meeting on Sundays. We ate good and flirted with the sisters and made some friends that were in the same trades. Back then it was believable we were being "trained" by Jeh. For me when the RBC became established and fully entrenched the brothers in charge got swelled heads and self-important attitudes and I felt the whole good spirit of those early builds was gone. So that's what I did, been there, done that, I'm GONE.
will our fearless leaders the gb call a news conference and invite all the major news networks and outlets and put their asses on the line and declare "you are all doomed!
" or will they have the rank and file do all the dirty work while they sit back in their gated corporate country club?!
ask any jdub that question!.
If the GB had any balls they would be in Russia or some dirt poor African country spearheading the work. I can remember years ago at summer conventions how strong, carefully worded resolutions against governments and religion and everyone applauds and thinks.how bold the organization is and I used to think what a load of bullshit--that really got governments and Catholics shaking in their boots.
we've all gotten a little older (the beav was about 60 at the time this was taken):.

Also one of my childhood favourites. Eddie Haskell stole the show, and don't forget Lumpy.
anyone here into guns.
i know alot of the euros here hate the idea but i wonder if there are any other members who are collectors or who are into hunting, target shooti g etc.. no shame zone?.
About 26 rifles, 2 shotguns, 1 colt revolver. Hunting rifles, not into military or tech style rifles. Also 3 motorcycles, a sports car, 2 2 door pickups. No wonder I didn't make it as a JW.
a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.
it was sold a couple of years ago.
we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.
WT doesn't sell anything in order to generate revenue like these other successful corporations
JW Gone Bad....... That's not quite right. Watchtower Corporation sells a hope of everlasting life. They made themselves a middleman for that "biblical hope" true or not, that is their product, what they sell, and according to them they ONLY have the exclusive right to market the hope.

The corporation is flush with $$$$. This new money grab is just normal operation procedure for Watchtower Real Estate and Internet Company.
