Yes, "Most women" who have been raised under the heavy influence of traditional patriarchal norms prefer to stay home. Hers is obviously a reflection of her upbringing, and therefore a very subjective statement.

"Most women would prefer to be stay at home housewives. Women's lib did alot of damage to women!"
by purrpurr inthe above is a quote from a jw female relative.
this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).
she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?

"Soon" is the key word. Life as we know it has taken 3.8 billion years of evolution. Social phenomena evolve a lot faster, but still very slowly for some of us. The important thing to keep an eye on is the trends. According to these trends, the WT is going somewhere, and is not north.Well one thing is for sure. They aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

why does "cult" seem so synonymous with America?
I take umbrage. Just because we have the largest number of fundamentalist Christians, and believe in huge numbers in the literal biblical creation accounts, reject science, gave birth and are base to cults like the Mormons, the JW's, the Seven Day Adventist, Scientology, the church of God, and hundreds others...well, it doesn't give you a right to make my adoptive country synonymous with cult...o maybe it does.

You have to love when people do their homework. This guy was ready to support his argument.
- At minute 2 he refers to Mat 24:34 where Jesus talks to his disciples. Therefore this generation refers to anointed
- Then "overlapping generations" is supported by the Watchtower April 15, 2010 "evidently..."
- Then in January 15, 2014 brother Splane gives a more precise explanation
- Then recently, in a video, brother Splane further expanded in the explanation introducing the linchpin: brother Franz.
Stephen Lett words apply here too, "there is more proof for the overlapping generations than there is for gravity, electricity and wind"
There you have it. Is there a better example of circular reasoning?

Religious? It's ok, not overly or fanatically religious, just religious enough to keep debates within the realm of reason and avoiding hurting sensitive souls. -

Jehovah's Witnesses May Have Peaked in Membership at 8 Million (+/-)
by OnTheWayOut ini don't have all the details of their new "service year" numbers, but i have read enough on jwn to state my opinion pretty strongly.. memorial attendance for 2015 was down.while they kept saying they were going to build a bunch of new kingdom halls, and everybody is still in recovery from watchtower taking all the local money away, they say pretty much that there isn't enough money to build new kingdom halls.putting gb members on the videos at jw .
org has allowed people to really put a face and personality to these guys and remove the mystery of how they should be such deeply spiritual serious men.
instead they see silly thoughts about tight pants and, really everything that comes out of lett's mouth is delivered ultra-goofy, along with the money reports.. the gb lost credibility a little more with every new light that shone down, with the strangest one being "overlapping generation.

The trend is clear in the U.S. Hispanic community. In the 90's, it was growing very fast. Today, stagnation. Young and newly married are not that excited about following in their parents footsteps. They just seem to pretend to take advantage of the social interaction. Also they are not interested in having children. They want to enjoy the world of Satan: money and every pleasure it brings, big and small. So no children, no baptisms, no zeal, means no growth and even contraction. The older generations are getting tired and the new ones never quite got the interest. The young Hispanic, especially those born and raised in the U.S. are quite similar in values to the young Americans. Immigration, legal or illegal has gone down in recent decades. The impetus of the 90's and even early millennium is wearing out rather fast. The future does not look good for the WT, even in that once reliable and loyal sector of the immigrant Hispanic. -

JW message becoming more and more relevant
by lsw1961 inmans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..
however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.
somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

JW message becoming more and more relevant
Only relevant to you and every adult who is willing to believe the Easter Bunny and Cinderella are real. And yes, you have plenty of company. So if by "relevant" you mean "popular"....maybe. Just a very weak "maybe"
