you know the organization is slowly going down.

not as fast as we would wish, but nevertheless it is crumbling.

five (5) year old child baptisms, smaller magazines, child sexual abuse exposed, smaller annual growth, no one wants to reach out, young ones leaving.

You know the Organization is SLowly going down. Not as fast as we would wish, but nevertheless it is crumbling. five (5) year old child baptisms, smaller magazines, Child sexual abuse exposed, smaller annual growth, no one wants to reach out, young ones leaving. Hundreds of new ex-jw YouTube Videos, books, blogs, Vlogs and. recovery sites. Its been over 100 years since Jesus started ruling, and every month some nasty skeleton falls out of the Watchtower closet.

What will the Watchtower look like in 30 years?

Will there still be a Governing Body?

Will they finally drop 1914?

Will the blood doctrine finally be dropped?

Will disfellowshipping be dropped?

Will there still be Circuit Overseers, Elders, Pioneers?

Will there still be Judicial Committees?

Will they still have conventions 3 times a year?

How many meetings will they have a week?

Will they still go door to door preaching?

Will they drop the name; “Watchtower Bible and Tract Society?”

How many members will they have worldwide?
Can you imagine in the year 2050 going door to door and preaching;

“Hello, we here this morning announcing Jehovah’s Kingdom that started ruling in the year 1914”

He said there have been 15 lawsuits throughout the country. I had heard there was hundreds? Which is it, 15 or hundreds?

Wife Equates Having A Good Marriage With Being "Spiritual"
by JW_Rogue in
1. jw
2. experiences
so i've noticed lately that my wife seems to think that in order to have a good marriage both people must be "spiritual".

she thinks being close as a family is all about family worship night, field service and praying together.

i know where these ideas are coming from but it is very hard to combat them.
John Aquila

Show her the Bible and the God she worships-Jehovah- doesn’t teach her idea.

For example Esther was a spiritual Believer and worshiper of Jehovah and King Ahasuerus was not a worshiper of Jehovah.

Yet what the Bible record say.

(Esther 2:17) . . .And the king came to love Esther more than all the other women, so that she gained more favor and loving-kindness before him than all the other virgins.

And he proceeded to put the royal headdress upon her head and make her queen . . .

is it as big a deal as it used to be?.

I'm sorry, I am out of the loop here.
This was the time when they came up with the book of Revelation I believe in the 80s. It was a big deal back then. Then we studied the book for about 4 or 5 times. It depicts the situation after the 1000 years reign of JC when many will not like the situation of a paradise earth and rebel.

Was Anyone Disfellowshipped Twice? How About Three Times?

years ago there was this guy ****** ******* i'll never forget him.

disfellowshipped 3 times!!!!

I have more experience than most elders in such matters.
No I don't think so. Elders know how to work the system better than anyone else. They can cover up any act they or their family commits and the publishers in the Hall will never know. I knew a very prominent elder who was having sex with several sisters--married and single--- for several years. His downfall was he got so cocky that he convinced a young single sister to have sex with him after his talk at a convention outside in the parking lot and 3 attendants caught him in the act.
He was finally disfellowshipped. He ran off with the young sister, about 19 years old, left her after about a year, and convinced his ex-wife to take him back. Today he is a pioneer.
