i had a luncheon yesterday with and aunt and cousin.
the only reason i went, and endured it, was because my father who can’t drive wanted to see them.
as i sat there eating the lunch at the restaurant, i couldn’t help think how totally oblivious they are to what’s going on, in an ever expanding organisation of the happiest people on earth.
Ding - “ Sometimes when I drive past a Kingdom Hall and see the parking lot full I want to walk inside, start reciting all the false prophecies and doctrinal flip flops, and yell, ‘Wake up, people!’…"
No point.
Odds are good said Kingdom Hall’ll be sold off with three quarters of the membership scattered to the four winds within the next half decade, anyway.

sunday, may 28, 2006, is the fourth anniversary from when a threshold was crossed into uncharted waters.
on may 28, 2002, the u.s. television news program, dateline, publicized to millions of viewers the facts about watchtower's deceitful child abuse policies which protect pedophiles who target and molest jws' vulnerable children.
subsequently, this subject caught the interest of media throughout the world who, through careful investigation, substantiated the allegations made on dateline.
Wow. Blast from the past.
Good stuff, though… the Org really went into Siege Mode what this dropped.
Just put a Bandaid on a bleeding stump, though, if you ask me.

Oh, no.
Rutherford, Knorr, and Jaracz deserve their due.
from what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.
is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.
smiddy - “What’s the reason some of you think JWs are in decline?”
The fact that they claim they’re not? 😏

Word to the wise…
…take any numbers the WTS puts out with a Gibraltar-sized grain of salt.
what would watchtower corporation(tm) do in compromise of their 'north korean style rules' if by publicly removing them, they could get more money and power?.
if each governing body(tm) member (pee be upon them), were offered a few million quid/bucks each to rescind the barbaric 'no whole blood' rule?.
i know what i think these fake religionists would do.
Either way, I’m quite certain that they are abso-fucking-lutely circling the wagons and prepping for the End…
…theirs or otherwise.

That being said…
…I’m quite sure that whilst believing it’s true…
…they know it’s wrong…
…at the same time.

Of course they’re true believers.
As I’ve said many times, it’s easy when you’re told over and over again that you’re God’s appointed spokesman, and you’re surrounded by people who are never allowed to disagree with you.
Hell, the whole system is designed to only allow the true believers to rise through the ranks.
in addition to the jws false and misleading denial that rebekah vardy was ever a jehovah's witness, a few other interesting developments occurred that are worth noting:.
1. an article in the last days newsletter reporting on how the jw[.
]org website scrubbed clean its jw 'news' page and produced an entire new glossary of jw terminally meaning for the media:.
Remember when the Org proudly admitted that they shunned ex-members?
WTF happened?
Unless…
…the rules for charity-status-tax-exemption are-a changin’…
…and they got no choice?
But…
…wouldn’t a “compromise” of this significance - with “Satan’s World”, no less - imply that the WTS’s business model is - dare I say - dependent on its tax exemption?
And if that’s the case…
…what’s that say about “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”?
🤔🤨
when i was young we used to hear things about how they used to smoke and used to celebrate christmas etc.
we were just taught that was olden times now jehovah has clarified things.. but i was thinking about the poor older ones who had been in truth for decades who remembered those times, and they must have had doubts.. well look at the changes today in 2023.. we are supposed to just forget about 1975 and all these other things so what about the things happening in our time that we are supposed to feget about .
we should never forget that following direction to be fully vaccinated was harmful direction.
The way I see it, as time goes on they’re getting away with less and less.
