Hopefully new testament is for does going to heaven. And Old testament for does staying in Earth. Old testament life feels more crazy and adventures. Plus poetic and sensual. Much to enjoy and explore. Not rigid like new testament.

14WT Teaching On Who The NT was Written For
by Sea Breeze inmaybe someone can help me here:when i got baptized at age 23, an elder dropped a bombshell on me.
he said that the new testament wasn't written for the great crowd (me).
he said that it only applies to the anointed, and "by extension" the nt applies to the great crowd.

Does this look like the WT is going to be around a long time? One Watchtower @ One Awake for the public in 2022
by pistolpete ini keep hearing that the watchtower org is going to be around forever because of the many other religions that have been around a long time.
but i disagree because the wt is not like other religious cults.. the watchtower's breath of life is dependent on the last days that started in 1914. .
you can’t change 1914 without a death blow to the entire organization.. the watchtower's 2nd reason for staying alive, is it's continual urging that the life saving preaching work of warning people is the most important work ever.. but- it's very obvious to many, even the old ones that instead of speeding up the work------the work is slowing down to a drip.. comment by former believer; .

Seems like even Watchtower thinks it's over and they packing down lots of stuff. There Webb page be around and Watchtower studios. Don't know for how long. But KHs and congregations seems to be a thing of the past.

Will there be a sense of urgency in 30 years?
by neat blue dog init's pretty easy to see how current events would have any jw convinced the end is imminent, but i just don't see how there could be a major push for zealous service, pioneering, etc.
decades into the future.
even if (when) world events happen periodically that could scare the r&f, there are now countless hours of hd video of jw leaders saying how close the end is.

The urgency thing will always be there, cause it's a control and fear tactic the org use a lot. But urgency and zealously in congregation has been low last 20 years. Nothing compared to back in the day's. And now with online thing seems more people are leaving then getting in.

Is there any urgency or zealous service now? Not if you compare to how it was back in the 80s. It's more dead comparing how it used to be.

Preparing for the future, back in the day's, was seen as lack of faith in Jehovas providing powers.

Has anybody seen a chart or documents abouth money they supposedly spending in Africa building halls? As there selling millions worth of halls around the world. They claim it's for Africa. There should be a kingdom hall popping up in every city in continent of Africa. Does anyone know what's happening to the money? I feel scam is being perpetrated 😁😌

Zoom meetings were never necessary from beginning. Lot's churches have regular meetings. It's all about selling building's.
