Organized religion is barnacle-like in its stickability. And just as barnacles don't use sweet reason to stick to things, organized religion doesn't either.
For example, the heyday of Christadelphians was several long decades ago, but there remains a solid core of loyalty to that millenialist movement which ensures their quaint little halls remain dotted throughout the land and reasonably well attended.
So, yes, JWs will be around for some time to come. But it looks pretty certain their growth heyday in the West is long over.
What will be open to screeds of speculation is the ultimate form their organization will take as the current decade passes - especially their ongoing reconfiguring of their central doctrine, the 1914 generation.
Jump forward to 2026: Don't expect a sudden lurch among (remaining active) members to 'reason' intelligently on the significance of 1914.
But do expect greater dropping off of zeal and a settling into a less urgent lifestyle.
Bring on the pinky rings and Apple watches!Sums it up pretty well.

Of course it's voluntary. Going to the meetings is voluntary. Going on the ministry is voluntary. Being a witness is voluntary. i chose not to do any of that. -

If you must run round after cofty like a little yapping dog at least make your insults worth reading.
Here's some to get you started.

Why I'm not agnostic
by Coded Logic ini think the time to be agnostic is when you have evidence on both sides of a claim.
for example, i'm agnostic about the existence of a historical jesus.
i think a reasonable case can be made that jesus was a man who was turned into a legend over a period of a couple of decades.

It's a guided process in a lab - who knows what the conditions were back then.
I tend to try to be evidence driven without trying to fill in the gaps to match any preconceptions I may or may not have.
I have an open mind and can admit that it's possible that it was guided at the beginning. I think that solution raises a lot more questions than it answers though.
With that in mind I tend to fall on the side of a spontaneous initiation of life. Ok, it might be improbable but so is winning the lottery, yet someone wins it every week.

The point I'm trying to make is that science is not stationary - there may come a time when new theories make more sense to you and you can accept them as valid.
If that happens will you accept it and what effect will that have on your deism?

Apparently not as you still think it needs to guided. ;)

Why are you convinced the formation of amino acids was an unguided process?
I'm not. I'm comfortable being not quite sure how it happened. That doesn't mean I'll immediately give credit to a deity for the things scientific advancement isn't yet sure of. -

A question on natural selection
by The Rebel inlast friday my boy of ten was very late back from school, so i called the school, they called the police, and to cut a long horrible exsperience short he had been helping a younger boy fly his kite.. but what has occurred to me is that when orlando was 5 years old he was totally dependent on mummy and daddy, whilst horses, cats, birds and other animals are born and are independent within days.. so my question on natural selection is, how are we humuns still here?.

Not all animals are independent within days - some take years to become independent.
