Theres never been any real love in this org. Leaders always been of the idea that most important thing for Christian is to preach. Other things or just waste of time. You meaby got some fake love if you were pioneer so you make more hours co elders could show to co territory is being preached.

Biahi
Remember it was mostly how avoid meeting people when does in congregations were out doing field service. People going to houses and the way passning lots of People with out talking to them. Window shopping most of time in service. Piooners sitting for hours with bible studies just to get hours. Elders telling there children abouth some world news and counting it as bible study. Really funny 😁 But org has always done things to make numbers bigger then they are. In the 90s they came up with if you read bible text to someone out in service in the second visit, that could be reported as bible study. Soon drinking glas of water gonna be counted as baptiste

"How many of those baptised are not children? "
Probable most are children of JWs. Incredible hours spent in preaching, and not much to show for it.

To many people are in congregations with out wanting to. Afraid of getting DF and not having contact with family. Or accepting appointments for wrong reasons. That's why this articles are total waste of time. You have to be 100% in to wake up every day and make changes you want. We'll don't matter now anyways, sure they going online and that be end of congregations. We'll probably ended with pandemic.

"In fact, after all these decades of door to door work, they barely know who JW's are and are either very open minded about them or couldn't care less about them" Org always told us that if jw stopped knocking om the doors, every one would ask were they were or why they stopped visiting. Wrong, people out in district have not even notice that jw are not out anymore.
"Like you, after 25 years active and regular at the same Hall, it took 3.5 years before anyone noticed we were gone." I always knew that is a Common reaction in KHs. Either they arre Up with there own life and don't care abouth other members. Most time they Think you stopped going to meetings cause you were living a sinful Lifestyle and were not getting holy spirit. Life in jw land.

I have learn a LOT about the religion and congregations. When I was active visiting meetings, i was there for the spiritual food. I actually thought everyone else was there for same reason ;-) I have learn there's a great variation among JWs. Lot's go to meetings just to hang around friends. Some are obligated by family or just to keep appearance. Some seem too believe 100% what GB writes. Some 50%, others just 10%. Some want appointments in congregations to control others. Some cause wife always nagging about moving forward. Others got privileges even if they didn't really want them. Some to get married. I do understand more why some JWs got irritated when you spoke about biblical matters. They probably didn't even believe in God. And there's lots more of variations then what I wrote about here. It's been a learning experience this site. One thing for sure, i don't know if I would have become a jw if internet was around when I started studying. I like to do research.

There's no Uber elders no more. Mean elders that follow GB every decision. Was proven some years ago when GB send letters to congregations that only brothers that were loving ( agape) should have appointments in congregations. Does that didn't want too were supposed to be removed as elders. CO was supposed too go out in field service with person before appointments. See if they wanted to have appointment for the right reason. GB send two letters about subject. Nothing happened. Neither elders or co were interested in obeying. GB lost control over congregations long time ago. Everyone does what they feel like. Not even gb members can agree on things. Sure looks a lot like old Rome before the fall. The infighting.

Selling 6000 kh+turning meetings to video conference+building media center= going online. Yes sound very logical. Question is when they started the plans for a on-line religion. Probably in the 90s when they started to shut down bethels in Europe. Removing printing presses. Using free labor to build halls then telling congregations to sign over there kingdom hall's to watchtower. JWs been duped.
