Strangely but maybe not so surprising the finish line to this race has been constantly moved forward again and again since the Watchtower Corporation was first started in the late 1800's.
Why is that ?

Are Jehovah's Witnesses running a race with no end in sight?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhorse racing lengths vary from just a couple of furlongs to several hundred miles, if you count the mongolian derby.
in britain, horse racing rules state that races should be over a minimum of five furlongs, while the longest race is over 4m2½f.. .
nascar races generally last anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the length of the race, number of laps and track conditions.

Politics and Hope
by lriddle80 inso 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?.

Iriddle80 your superimposing the conceptual ideology that its only human made politics is the only hope mankind can possibly retain.
This is false ideology created and promoted by religoius organizations like the JWS which I'm guessing your a member of.
As history has shown in the end its humans alone that have the inherent responsibility for making the human experience better for all concerned.
Religious organizations look for people in peril to exploit their situation as a means to mentally lure them into an engaging false ideology of embracing supernatural beings and their select earthly chosen ones to guide them toward a better living experience.
Sure there may be at first some positive results in the beginning giving people some hope of reassuring confidence within themselves by being involved in a socialized group effort with others but the long term can prove crippling as well.
You can see this in people who got too deeply involved in the JWS religion.
People who participated for many years in special pioneer work only to be let go when they aged, leaving them impoverished with no financial or healthcare support by the organization to which they served.
People waiting for Jehovah their worshiped god to resolve mankind struggles and perils accomplished by being subjectively obedient to his supposed earthly chosen ones the GB leaders.
Creating dependency upon envisioned ancient gods has proven to be overall an endeavor of harmful futility for mankind.

So DOC if the top politcal leaders/campaigners in Washington know what your saying why would they then declare the Democrats won the white house (Presidential election) based upon the number of Electoral colleges won ?
Never heard of what your stating ???
Video explaining what the Electoral college numbers do in federal elections.

How will the rest of the World be affected if America is run by far-left Socialist?
by pistolpete inamerica was a power not to be reckoned with.
but lately it seems to be the laughing stock of the world.
what other countries are seeing on the news is riots, calls to de-fund the police, breakdown of society, and elections being over taken with fraud.

Biden by the way is not a far left socialist, he's noted to being a centralist.
He's no Bernie Sanders.
I can never see the US to be a strong socialist country, its inherent federal government system doesn't have that kind of constitutional infrastructure.

When a political leader says things that aren't backed by evidence, are they being intellectually dishonest or intellectually corrupt ?

Fact is a country cant have extenuating social programs if the country doesn't have a strong and running capitalistic business structure and personal employment to support those programs.
The big brouhaha thats going on right now in US politics is the business backed politcal party the Republicans going against the US government implementing a government sponsored universal healthcare social program for all of its citizens.
Most countries now days have some kind of government backed healthcare system for its citizens, even many Communistic and Dictatorship driven countries .

The headline used for this clip on Youtube is ....
Joe Biden brags about having “the most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization” in history.
Now do you really think a top level politician would say something like to what your suggesting, right directly to the media ?
Again he was referring to the Trump campaign's "Supposed" involvement by the Russians, which to all accounts has proven to be trumped up bullshit. (no pun intended)

Pistolpete what Biden was talking about in that video clip was the 2016 election and the Republican backed Trump campaign, he was not referring to the Democrat backed campaign supporters. ie the supposed Russian involvement.
When he said we he's meaning Nation.
Trump never upholds fact based information if it opposes himself and his precedential involvement.
ie. rigged and the evidence of that is ???

Most JWS are not so much focused upon reaching the end of their race which is Armageddon but firmly believe their participation in their particular race is worth being in it for the better toward themselves.
Their rewarding prize for their steadfast participation is not being killed and to live on into eternity, fortuitous to them in spite stepping away from reality in a appealing self imposed delusion.

I think the older generation had more of a appreciation to books and reading and valued them accordingly.
Grandparents today are more apt to give their grandchildren a video game or something related to computers than a book.
I also think that the older generation(s) took more interest in religious things in general.
