Kosonen i was thinking about connecting Jesaiah with Jesus words in Matthew 6.6
when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen

this article explains what a modern time application to fleeing might involve in the prophecy jesus told about the last days.. that is a timely reminder.
i think it will become soon possible to flee to australia from the mark of the beast.

Interesting Jesus wording about going into our inner rooms when tribulación starts. Could that have anything to do with pandemic/lockdowns and worldwide situation.
the major topic of conversation was that almost all do not want to go back to the meetings and field service!
and we are talking very zealous and active witnesses!

Don't think GB wants to return to kh. They wanna sell khs and run with money. Very strange a so called Christian org members don't want to be in same building as other members. Oh yeah i forgot its a preaching cooperation.
if you are a jw you think god is punishing watchtower?
after watchtower got banned in russia and buildings seized, lot's jws said russia would be punished.
org kept losing in court with child abuse cases.

If you are a JW you think God is punishing watchtower? After watchtower got banned in Russia and buildings seized, lot's JWs said Russia would be punished. Instead it went the other way. Org kept losing in court with child abuse cases. Lots of JWs died from convid. Stop of door to door preaching and personal meetings. Don't see Putin getting remove from power.
is watchtower faking there member numbers?
i live in europe.
for the last 15 year's probably 25 person i knew or more were df, pimo, left by own will, inactive.
Another thing that show they in trouble is the convid situation. Everytime there's a major world problem, inactive members run to org. This time even lots of JWs don't want to return to kingdom halls. They seem to want more view points on what the bible teaches then only what GB gives them.
you think they abouth to remove gb arragment?
more and more with gb talks, they seem to be saying goodbye to congregations.
maeby its part of downsize.
i just posted this on a seperate thread, but i think it deserves its own thread.
this is with regard to the pew survey that states “2 out of three 3 born into the jehovah’s witness faith.
will not remain in the faith as adults.”.
Org has always told members generation living 1914 would see the end. That biblical generation was 70-80 year's. The time to preach. Middle 90s, 80 year has passed and, no Harmagedon. Congregations started to be more zombie liked. So org put in the hard rule, if you abandon org you can not have contact with family. Back in the 90s thing's started to die of for org. They must have thought they gonna fool everyone with overlapping generation teachings some years ago. Think that it hade the opposite effect of what they wanted.

You wanna be impressed and of the charts information. This artical. Keeping young ones in the org by telling them they gonna be abandon by family if they leave, maeby keeps numbers afloat. Or even a little 0,01 plus. But if you wanna have real increase. Do what muslims do, have lots of children. But its not only that, lots people in western world are converting to Islam.

The baptism for younger ones they started years ago show they are desperate. I think they lying right out about numbers. Year's ago it was they needed to build hundreds or thousands of new kingdom halls cause of growth. Short time after that, they wanted to sell thousands. In letters they send out asking for donations, they always wrote they were growing by leaps and bounds. Merging of congregations cause they we're growing so much. Incredible blessings ;-). A travelling brother held a speech and in the outline it said people were throwing themselves to get into organization. They lie abouth anything. You can never trust there numbers.
