i’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.
they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.
they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.
As for me, I was barely able to keep up when I was PIMI. I can't imagine being PIMO and having to schedule so much time around the meetings and field service, or trying to convince people to study with the JWs when I do not believe in it myself. It's a bridge too far for me.
My thoughts exactly!

It is hard to imagine how anybody could remain "Physically In - Mentally Out" of a religion such as the JWs, which demands everything from its rank-and-file membership. No difficulty, of course, being a "PIMO" member of any of the so-called "Mainstream Churches". In fact, most of their membership probably fits into that category i.e., get married in the church, get buried by the church, and attend a few church services in between times - but that is all.
Sustaining that same trick for any length of time with the JWs, though, would surely tear a person apart - mentally and emotionally? (I would have thought, anyway!)
As to the complete demise of the JW religion (whether with a whimper or with a bang), sadly not very likely. The more unpleasant forms of life are the ones which always seem to survive - even such catastrophic events as a nuclear explosion. For example, after a series of nuclear tests which were carried out in the 1950s on the then British territory of Christmas Island, it was noted that all other forms of life had been obliterated, except for the cockroaches and the rats. I rather fear that the JW religion is yet another unpleasant form of life which will somehow hang on, despite all the evidence on hand indicating otherwise.
PS: I hope I am wrong, but somehow don't think so!
i personally have only attended a handful of meetings at kingdom halls.
i did not enjoy any of them nor was i impressed by anything that was conveyed.
perhaps others did not find them boring as i did.. nadia viotto has this to say about her experience.
Before ever attending a meeting at the Kingdom Hall, I had been given the impression that it was going to be a mind-altering experience. The reality came over as something of a let down. Still, I figured that there must have been a point that I was somehow missing. (One of the reasons I stayed around for as long as I did).
But no, they can have their bloody meetings - I’d rather visit the dentist!
i hadn’t heard of this guy, andrew tate, until a few days ago, when he was mentioned on novara media (which is practically the only news i watch).
then i saw a clip with him where he explained why he moved to romania: he said he ‘likes romania because the police are corrupt and you can pay them off’.
(practically a direct quote) i thought to myself at the time that sounded a bit complacent!
Hopefully, this might cut the arrogant twerp’s ego down to size for him.
curious.

who remembers 1975, the ray franz incident, the generation change in 1995, the blood fractions, alternative service, participation in ochr, aid afrique, the historical research by james pellechia, jolene chu and johannes stephan wrobel?
Ding,
Raymond Franz said as much in Crisis of Conscience. In the preparation of the WTS’s 1971 work Aid to Bible Understanding, he was given full access to all the reference works which the Society has at its disposal. Many of these had been written by scholars of the various “churches of Christendom”, and in so many instances, it was exactly as you describe. That is, what the JWs called “new light”, Christendom had known all along.

Enoughisenough summed it up perfectly.
Furthermore, it was very sneaky how they introduced the first change about “The Generation”. On the inside cover of Awake always used to be a statement about the “generation which remembered 1914”. At some point in the mid to late 1970s, that wording was altered to the effect of the “generation born during or before 1914”.

journalist alex newman gives a totally different picture about the real state of affairs.
Perhaps affiliated in some way with the Rev. Harley Davidson’s Church of the Righteous Hog?
so i grew up as a witness but i’m no longer active, i have some family that still practices very seriously.
but i don’t want to ask them my question.
but what does the bible and teaching’s of jw’s say about early hominids?
Like some people evolved from apes.
seriously....this is an article on jw.borg.. really?
football - or soccer - and bible?.
these guys have really lost the plot.. i can promise you that bible does not say a flying flaming about world cup.. however, as much as people want them to, these events cannot provide lasting unity.
“What does the Bible say?”
Don’t mean to be rude, but really, who gives a £#ck!

magazine came out with some very clear direction to teenagers.
I, too, was directly affected by that bloody piece of so-called “guidance”. Several years back, when I confronted some of them about this who were operating an apathy cart, one cheeky bitch had the effrontery to try and tell me that I “was not old”. At 67, I was exactly the average male life expectancy for this country, when that article was published.
