Smiddy - "Hypocritical stance of Jehovah`s Witnesses over the years..."
Dude.
Nobody has that kind of time.
i`m thinking of times when the jw organization has been hypocritical in their beliefs / practices .
they make sure they are no part of christendom in any way shape or form ,the understanding the r&f have of the organization.. the r&f members are not to have any dealings with christendoms religions in business or otherwise.. but what does the jw organization do ?
they sell watchtower property to christendoms churches for profit .. the r&f are to be separate from the world and call the league of nations and it`s successor the united nations the counterfeit kingdom of god ,the abhorrent thing standing in the place of god ?.

Is it just me, or is Pat Robertson looking more and more like Gollum?
as jehovahs people how thankful we are we can rely on satan's world for providing the technology to allow us to have zoom meetings.
and providing physical food as well through the farmers to families food program.
and now we are blessed that soon yes very soon!

Respect.
this topics get a great deal of discussion here.
what i find interesting is even some of my pimi family is embracing the reality that all is not well with jw.org and that many current jws are just going through the motions due to not having a good way out of the org.
wondering what could realistically lead to the collapse of jw.org in the not distant future?
smiddy3 - "It`s getting to the stage where they can no longer maintain the belief that the GT / Armageddon is imminent ,eventually even the most faithful loyal one will have to acknowledge that its just not true."
hybridous - "...I don't think we can overstate just what a tough reckoning this would be for them. The whole paradigm hinges on impending Armageddon. Lots of fear to leverage with that belief."
I agree.
As I said above, there's too many unique specifics to the WTS's End-Times script that are increasingly improbable.
Not to mention that historically, apocaplyptic groups kinda have to occasionally "date-set" to maintain internal zeal...
...and due to the Bible's own rhetoric condemning the tactic, coupled with the media's record of the Org's past habit of failed predictions, the WTS is long past its effective sell-by date for that tactic; they simply don't dare try it.
Semi-committal reminders that it's "any day now" simply don't muster up real, genuine long-term enthusiasm, though. At best, the rank-and-file get worked up for a couple days of ministry work (and good luck with that these days)...
...at worst, they just feel tired of hearing it again (whether they admit it - or even realize it - or not).

Snakes - "So do I want the Borg to crash and burn? Yep. But not until after she is gone."
I feel more or less the same way.
