  Collapse of JW Org - Possibly on the Horizon?

  by JWTom in

  this topics get a great deal of discussion here.

  what i find interesting is even some of my pimi family is embracing the reality that all is not well with jw.org and that many current jws are just going through the motions due to not having a good way out of the org.

  wondering what could realistically lead to the collapse of jw.org in the not distant future?

  As long as the WTS/JWorg can lure in people, exploit their ignorance and their other problems and people think they are doing good for themselves, the JWs will be around.

  Politics and Hope

  by lriddle80 in

  so there are a lot of atheists on here.

  my question: where does your hope come from?

  that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

  Waiting on the imaginary gods of the ancients (YHWH) to cure humanity's woes, perils and troubles is an act of redundant futility.

  Human interaction has been the only effective way to improve the human existence and experience.

  Mankind's continuing acceptance and perseverance of knowledge about are selves and the world in which we live toward bettering the human experience.
  

  There is a humanistic secular non religoius drive to improve things..
  

  Look back in history to what you see today in most modernized countries in direct comparison from 100 years ago and you see something better for humanity.

  Something better never comes from humanity using past ancient civilizations as emulating role models for social behavioral standards, for example the ancient Hebrew civilization of what can be read in the bible.

  The WTS didn't do this the governments imposed these restrictions.

  So then one could say the local governments are loving.

  Funny how the WTS spins and twists things to back and support themselves.

  I guess when the restrictions are lifted they will say well the Faithful Slave has provided new loving light regarding this terrible prophetic pandemic.

  Jehovah's holy spirit has truly blessed his solemnly chosen earthly organization.

  Maybe its because they are in a spirit state in heaven, not a human fleshly state ?

  Those anointed black or colored skinned people are in for big surprise once they get into heaven.

  Sorry Vander but Biden will be the next president of the US and Trump will become a fading memory where people in the future will reflect what he really did while in office.
  

  In another 4 years we will evaluating what kind of president Biden has been.

  One comes in, one leaves .
  

  That's just how voting elections go in a true democracy.

  Irregardless of just how much you liked or disliked Trump, he did accomplish some good things while in office.

  Many Jw’s Love to Speculate About the New System

  by Davros in

  2. friends

  a comment on another thread cracked me up where the poster related what some elder said on the platform that: .

  in the new system, we likely will not have genitals.” lol.

  i’ve heard so much speculation from many jw’s on what will and won’t be allowed in the new system.

  It shows something about JWS in their wanting anticipation for having most of the world's human population destroyed/ murdered and themselves taking all the possessions these people owned.
