Another bad faith video
by DATA-DOG injust sharing this for all the people who hated me saying it.
funny how truth finally comes out if those of us who care enough to become lightning rods don’t let up.
it’s taken a year, but the left wing ( not the same as a traditional liberal ) nut-job bs is becoming quite evident, and this will continue across multiple subjects as time passes.

Noah, Samson, David... superheroes of the ancient Hebrews.
The Old Testament... the original Shared Universe.

by ExCircuitOverseer inwhether they go back to door-to-door or not, what will be different?
do you think there will be a noticeable drop-off in attendance as we have read on here that many have left or faded?
will there be a mass selling of halls?

joe134cd - "...But they are also going to lose the level of control they can exude on the rank and file..."
100% agree.
Rhetoric and propaganda only go so far in maintaining internal cohesion and discipline...
...actual, tangible group-oriented activities such as regular in-person meetings and the door-to-door work - regardless of how tiresome or unpleasant they may be - serve as the most effective tools for sustaining that.
I even remember an elder who, for all intents and purposes, spelled that out for me when I was a kid.

I think it's at least partly a zoning issue, 'cause I've seen it before.
In a small city I'm familiar with, a little-used KH was bought by a local Sikh congregation (who proceeded to refurbish it accordingly), and an older one was also sold to an evangelical church, who turned it into a Christian bookstore...
...whilst the congregation(s) who'd been previously using it built a new KH right next door (admittedly, kinda weird).

I had issues with the hard-ass OT God and Revelation as a pre-teen...
...a little less so as a result of certain experiences as a teenager, though.

Losing My Religion - America's progressive estrangement from organized religion
by EdenOne inthis article on the latest gallup survey:.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/america-losing-religion-effects-long-093028404.html.
in 1937, 73% of americans would be affiliated with some organized religion; that number remained steady until 1999: (70%); the 21st century brought about a major shift: 50% in 2018; 47% in the latest survey.. children who grew up in households without organized religion are less likely to affiliate to some form of organized religion.. it's not only a generational difference; the growth in those who express no religious preference is also on the rise in generation x (those born between mid 1960's and early 1980's).

joe134cd - "...They said they were been used to build halls in Africa where people don’t have access to JWdot borg on the internet..."
You mean like this?
Bitch, please (not directed at you, joe).
This isn't much more than dialed-up gazebo built with local materials and elbow grease.
There is no fucking way a quarter-mil from a KH sale in the US or UK was needed to build this.
