  I've been found out!

  well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.

  someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.

  i just feel sad for my daughter.

  What will the JC be accusing you of?

  I'm well out of touch now and I haven't read your old posts, but don't you have to actively join another religion or dispute the JW rulebook within your own cong for it to be a judicial matter?

  slimboyfat joins the Mormons!

  i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

  at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

  in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

  You're a strange one SBF.

  Are you going try every cult and off the wall religion until you find one that suits your views (once you've decided what your views are, that is)?

  If so you'd better get a move on as you've a fair few to get through.

  The navigation is ok, but the posting and quoting using a phone or tablet is a nightmare.

  How long can this cult remain with only kids becoming members?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's become clear that very few from outside the religion are joining anymore.

  if only the kids of the people that are already in are the one replacing the members as they die off and 50% let's say of the kids leave then how long can they realistically last before the downturn becomes obvious?.

  I think you're right wrt developed countries where prospective members have access to the internet. But in developing countries I think the growth rate is quite high.

  Unfortunately for the WTS, those new converts in developing countries don't have the resources to keep the contribution boxes topped up.

  What about this as an exhuse against being DF'd?

  by purrpurr in

  with the many examples in the bible of jehovah taking control of someone's heart and causing them therefore to sin and do something bad... what if when discovered in a sin a jw said to the elders that it was not them that sinned... oh no!

  it was jehovah who put it into their hearts to sin!

  therefore they cannot be held responsible for their actions.. the elders would not be able to prove otherwise, what would they do?.

  Is there a jacuzzi out back full of upper echelon jdubs wearing gold necklaces while scantily clad females bring them mojitos?

  That's a ridiculous and libellous statement to make.

  Everyone knows they drink margeritas. ;)

  they could easily have rented a house or flat in a nearby town for a few hundred pounds a month.

  If they have cash reserves to buy a good property, then to do the above would make no financial sense whatsoever.

  An office or house to rent would probably cost itro £1k per month. Say they kept it for four years it would be a total cost of arounf £48k.

  An alternative would be to use cash reserves to buy a solid property in an excellent location. The costs look like it was around £1m. Keep it four years and instead of a cost of £48k you have a profit of probably £200k.

  It makes perfect financial sense.

  Does it represent value for the people whose contributions paid for it?

  Well, as it's probably worth considerably more now than when they bought it, the only answer to that is yes.
