How about:
Make America Not Embarrassing Again!
you are sadly mistaken.. i hear people say it on here all the time, and dare i say his name *cough* lloyd evans *cough* has said it a number of times, that watchtower is running scared and watchtower is in decline….. we need to put in perspective the decrease from the 2020 report.
if we calculate a yearly -0.6 decrease over a 10 year period from 2020 figures it leaves us the grand total number of witnesses of:.
by 2030: - 7,933,479. by 2040: - 7,471,357. by 2050: - 7,036,154. i agree that this is a significant decrease, but let’s not kid ourselves, the wt organisation will still be alive and well even with an annual 0.6% loss.
Simple answer: NO!
Loss of members? Likely
I suspect any growth will be no more than the population growth from people reproducing.
Their only hope at this point is another complete economic collapse like 1929. Then people will grasp at straws for hope and WT will come to help them.
I deleted your other BS propaganda posts DLH: there's a BIG difference between a conservative with a gun and some jihadist bitch from the death cult of islam - conservatives are law abiding and not murderous psychopaths that randomly kill people.
Fuck you and your false equivalencies.
Love Ya Simon! Have you considered moving south a bit?
now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.
First, I'm sorry I did not read all of your responses.
Some thought on comments --
There have been sooo many changes attributed to "New Light" that most JWs now see "New Light" as Joe Hoover's direction. I's a good thing instead of a mistake by the Borg. (Great PR work WT)
Most JW's don't know anything has changed. Most JW's do not know what they believe as far as doctrine. Almost NONE of them actually READ the WT or the publications They are spiritually lazy. Those who were NOT lazy, are here. I was working with a fellow elder D2D after the 1995 change and he was still preaching/teaching the OLD doctrine. Even he DID NOT understand the 1995 change.
1995 is 25 years ago. WT never refers to any changes. They just go on like Joe Hoover's Borg has been foretelling The End now for over 100 years (like that is a good thing)! (WTF?) So the VAST MAJORITY of active JW's have no idea that anything has changed.

Sorry, Simon. I think we need a "Sarcasm Button" to click.
Yes, I'm certain the Branch has created AN ILLUSION of being broke in Australia and have already sent all their money to "Mother".

Likely the Branch has had enough time to send all of their excess funds out of Australia. Poor religion is damn near broke, so they can only kick in a few coins (like the poor widow).
in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.
to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.
first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.

so, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.
