i like to take a peek at the kids over on reddit every week or so.. this thread caught my eye:" curious….
do any ex jw or pimo, still believe the world is ending.
i see people who have never been witnesses think that the world will end soon and they say things like “jesus is coming soon”….
I'm 77 so i am living in the time of my end. But no hurry. - Stan
Exactly my thoughts. (About my age, not yours, Stan.)
I'm quite certain I'm living in MY "End Times".
As far as anything pertaining to Biblical "prophesy" -- Sorry folks, but that's all BS.
breaking: fbi director kash patel has announced the arrest of milwaukee judge hannah dugan for obstructing ice during the arrest of an illegal alien.
patel: "we believe judge dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, eduardo flores ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.".

I mean that Mr Trump himself has personally pardoned people who took part in criminal activities on Jan 6th
No disrespect, but you really haven't researched the Jan 6th fiasco sufficiently. Rather, you are relying on the "message" being given by the "left" and their media cohorts.
"now more than ever, we need to focus on our hope.

the following is from the latest study watchtower july 2025, study article 28, paragraph 17:.
each christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions.
we may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry.
They are not backtracking on their blood view. This is about blood fractions. -- Duran
Exactly.
No change here.

i’m hoping the memorial talk will be different.
change the talk!
Now they are more common, younger than us, sporting expensive duds, bling, and have nice digs. They are not waiting for heaven...they already have it.
No one partaking where we attended, but the description above sure is accurate. The old guys (my peers) were all just attendants passing the crackers & juice and the whole show was run by the younger generation (40's). And they all are looking good! Nice cars. Nice clothes. A Louis V bag caught my eye.
No one looked like they were "doing without" in order to pioneer. They are all still uttering the company line that "The End is Near" but I don't think they really are living like they believe it.
the only reasons i can remember are smoking, sexual immorality and of course, apostasy.
there must be others but having been out since 1990, i'm drawing a blank.
i was thinking perhaps serious criminal offenses that result in prison, but then i remembered a brother in my congregation in the 1980's who went to prison.

usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.
this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.
for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.
Frankly, I'm still optimistic.
curious.
what was your local memorial attendance like tonight?
We went to keep the JW family and friends (that don't ignore us) "happy".
Attendance seemed pathetic. These used to be standing room only events. Attendance including Zoom was just barely over 100. The seats were 25% empty. In fairness, there are two events held at this location and we went to the late (2nd) one, so likely some of the older members went to the early one. Still . . . .
. . . . it ain't like it used to be.
AND I MUST ADD -- I did not hear "this may be the last time we do this . . . ."
oh yeah, this is going to end well.
hold on to your seats, folks, we’re on the front row of history for, as the chinese might say, “interesting times”.

a person whose existence was testified to by plenty of witnesses.
Name the plenty. Where is their testimony.
Matthew Mark Luke & John are only ONE testimony (you can only count the Bible once).
History may agree a man known as Jesus, son of Joseph, walked the earth, but where are these testimonies to raising the dead, healing the sick, feeding multitudes? Nowhere but the Bible. Somehow these things were not significant enough to make the "Jerusalem Times" (history).
