i know of some congregations and even circuits that have already met this fate recently.
are there any more to come for certain?.
"Eventually things will decline to the point where they will have to do it all over again...and in the far future, Kingdom Halls will be a very rare thing"
In the near future everybody will be directed to download and print ALL of their literature. Eventually meetings will be done online and everybody who wants to survive armageddon will have to show their support and membership by having a monthly automatic withdrawal from their account for the GB and Friends and their televised religion.
for the december monthly broadcast instead of jws from around the world waving to you and items of how to shun people we will have to make do with repeats of of old gilead videos that have been on the jw website for a good while.
I know somebody who just woke up, it all started with Tight Pants Tony for the first broadcast spending 45 minutes about yoga pants. God's organization in the last days on that historic day directing that to happen was just too much to keep the cognitive dissonance going, so they started researching where they previously dare not, and asking ex jws questions, few months later they are out!
hopefully more are on the same path.
here is the story..... this person i know was the model jw, and them and their spouse could have really moved up.
they knew i was gone and awhile ago started asking me questions.

This person I know was the model jw, and them and their spouse could have really moved up. They knew I was gone and awhile ago started asking me questions. I gave some guidance, and told them if they really seek out the truth, there is no going back and what to expect. Several months later they are fully out. But what started it all?
Aside from little doubts, the big hit was the first international live broadcast. That God's direct and only organization on Earth having this first big international broadcast, and very anxious to what special insight or news God was going to reveal to the Governing Body to tell his people. The ones that if you are not part of this group, then you will die because this group is God's chosen and it should be obvious to the world they are the only true followers. So what happens on this historic day?!?! 75% of the meeting, 45 minutes, are featuring Tony ranting about tight pants and yoga pants. Out of everything happening in the world, and how close the end is supposed to be, for the first day in history for this international live broadcast, God directs Tony to rant the entire time about tight pants. Thank you Tight-Pants Tony!! You have done what nobody else could do, and hopefully your tight pants rant(s) have set in place the right conditions for many others to be waking up as well!
disclaimer: i do not approve or condone any acts of violence that result in the deaths of innocent persons.. alright.. let me just say that i have no idea what motivated the latest mass shooting, nor do i condone those actions.
i am, however, beginning to understand why some individuals may feel that violence is their only choice, although i do not approve of that choice.. when i read topics on this forum that concern religion and legalism, topics that drone on and on, getting nowhere, i feel extremely frustrated.
yes, religions are given certain freedoms, but many are obviously going beyond the spirit that motivated the separation of church and state.
If the attacks were happening on JW, Mormon, Scientologist, Muslim, and other high control churches I'd agree. But on liberal churches that really let people do anything they want, not too much into their personal lives, don't do shunning, etc, I do not think that is the motivation.
Also many mass shootings happen where people traditionally don't have guns. I don't think any laws for concealed owners to not have one in a church, but bars, schools, etc, are easier targets.
something that bothered me even when i was a watchtower company drone was the thought of dying and being resurrected in paradise.
would the resurrected person really be me or just a copy of me?
if god could recreate one of me, he could also recreate five of me.
Exactly Sour Grapes.
The ONLY way a resurrection would have some type of validity is if it was just like some things said, "sleeping". But when you sleep at night you are not dead, but in a dreamworld, etc. Consciousness and self awareness are the key. Still not fully understood.

Sour Grapes - the cloning makes no sense at all.
Let's say you are resurrected RIGHT NOW. You are alive and here, and suddenly a resurrected copy of you is made. They have all of your memories, traits, etc, but they would essentially be an identical twin to you with the same memories as you. If you then died, you'd be plain dead, and that early resurrected copy of you is just another life form.
Movies like Dark City, 6th Day, etc all kind of show it.
Even teleportation, if a person was broken down, pretty much destroyed and reassembled is that really them or just a clone.
Only thing I can think is if an actual soul or something that would not die or be the original.

why in the hell would we (men) have one less rib...help me folks the adam and eve story has screwed up my thinking...
If it really did happen, then it could be because of the bone marrow. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1329123/Bone-marrow-cell-study-adds-to-clone-campaign.html
"CELLS in bone marrow can be turned into almost any tissue in the body, according to a report published yesterday."
Is there a point to support the copyright holder vs free electronic downloads being that both Ray and his wife have now passed away?

Replace every mention of Jehovah with "tight pants tony" or "the GB" in the video.
For example, "Jehovah the governing body loves a cheerful giver", "Helping Jehovah tight pants tony with my donation",
