org is dying

by lambsbottom in

i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

NewYork44M

Everything, including religions have a life cycle. I agree the the organization hit its peak decades ago. Selling corporate assets is a sign that it is in decline.

That being said, many organizations figure out how to sustain a life after a decline. So the question really should focus on whether or not the organization has the ability to create a new life cycle. This what seems to be happening with jw.org and the trolly witnessing. Lets see what happens

Kicking the "Gay Habit" at the IC

by breakfast of champions in

heard from a reliable source that this was part of friday's program.

they even interviewed a "former gay man" who "kicked the gay habit".. evidently kicking the "gay habit" is difficult, not unlike quitting smoking or avoiding sugary snacks.

the persons who related this to me found the whole thing to be laughable at best, but honestly seemed quite disturbed by it (which is good!

NewYork44M

Billy, great comment. I concur - what it is about being gay that is a habit. I have more than a few habits, some are related to what I like regarding sex. However, sexual orientation does not constitute a habit. It constitutes who you are.

Looks great, I am curious why you do not include 1975 in the floating dates around the head of the person in the pix.

The Venting Thread

by minimus in

jw
friends

this thread is for you to vent about anything (within guidelines) that you want.. i'll start.. i'm sick of people who complain about how cold the weather is and then you have two 85 degree days and now they can't wait till autumn!.

NewYork44M

I got my own stinkin problems - my vent is people that vent with the expectation that I care.

While I understand that your life may not be perfect, keep in mind that I got my own stinkin problems, so don't expect a lot of sympathy from me.

i posted a thread in personal experiences and reunions called "when i decided to no longer turn in time.

" apparently i don't read directions well and posted it in the wrong thread.

You made a very bad mistake, based upon the rules of the thread you must send $100 to each person that responds to your thread.

Would God (Jehovah) really choose lying and corrupt religious Charlatans like the Watchtower Corporation ?

by Finkelstein in

the watchtower publishing house has been going strong now for over 100 years, publishing numerous.

books and magazines, many which are now out of circulation.

many of the doctrines created by this.

NewYork44M

I would really like to believe in god - and I really did try. But to believe in a god - and that this person chose a specific group to lead (what I haven't not quite figured that out) at a specific arbitrary date - is well beyond anything I can grasp, even if I could get the god thing.

So in the mean time I will continue to lead a happy life, and cherish it as if it was a gift from god. I like gifts, by the way.
