…because once your brain starts to head down that particular rabbit hole, there’s no going back.
it’s been discussed before that few jw leaders, past and present, have had children.
this is in contrast with other groups, such as the mormons, whose leaders have had a lot of children.
i wonder if this has impacted jw growth.

AI said it, it must be true!
the overwhelming majority of the early church leaders (fathers) were premillennial and believed in a literal 1000 yr. kingdom.
today, 2/3 of christians are amillennial.

as it’s nearly the new year my prediction over the next decade or so will see the sense of urgency dwindle.
then some huge huge changes.
for example by 2034 in a decades time, they will have address the 1914 issue and will come out and say we can’t be dogmatic.
Prediction for the next decade…

Know what’s really weird?
According to Star Trek canon, WW3 kicks off in 2026.
i had the courage to think for myself!
they’ll call us apostates.
but really, we just had the courage to think for ourselves.
“…we just had the courage to think for ourselves…”
By the WTS’s internal logic, that’s “apostasy”.
