The WTS/JWorg operates and sustains itself from fearmongering, it has for decades, being that is so, the likelihood of that continuing is an assumed probability.

Will there be a sense of urgency in 30 years?
by neat blue dog init's pretty easy to see how current events would have any jw convinced the end is imminent, but i just don't see how there could be a major push for zealous service, pioneering, etc.
decades into the future.
even if (when) world events happen periodically that could scare the r&f, there are now countless hours of hd video of jw leaders saying how close the end is.

If you could pick out critical errors to the JWS religion what would it be ?
by Rocketman123 inmany that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

Or it was a massive scam
Possibly with a commercial twist.
Its like Russel wasn't really a well studied bible scholar/theologian but a turn of the century charlatan.

"Young people ask" book claims 97% youth masturbatory or seen porn...not J.W youth??
by Witness 007 inas a youg man this stunned me when i studied the original "youth" book 97% had done it so i thought soo that's pretty much everyone i guess the 3% were witness youth!
also "awake" claimed 90% of students had accessed porn at some time.
everyone is doing it i guess 10% are the witness youth...how dumb was i?.

All of these boys have stroked the salami in their lives that you can count on.
As a matter of fact they were once members of the Salami Stokers of America Club ....

Do You Think Trump Will Make A Comeback?
by minimus indo you think he could get reinstated as president?
do you think trump will run again for president or do you think he will just be a force for the republican party behind the scenes?.

The problem is that he expects fellow Republicans to put loyalty to
him above loyalty to the Constitution and their oath of office.
Good point TD
Trump assembled his own constitution which stated you better be loyal to him irregardless of established laws, rules, information, intellectual honesty and truth.

What aspects do you view most favorably about the WT and/or its religion?
by Disillusioned JW ineven if you disapprove of much about the wt and/or its religion, what aspects do you view most favorably about the wt and/or its religion?
for me one of the things i view most favorably about the wt and its religion is its extremely strong insistence that jws never intentionally kill another human being.
i especially appreciate that regarding those who have been born, but i think some abortions of human embryos might be justifiable.

The one thing that comes to mind is the advantage of meeting different people in a social environment that you could say you had something in common.
Yes that includes meeting people of the opposite sex.

Why dont practicing JWS cant accept the fact that the Watchtower Corporation is a commercialized false prophet ?
by Finkelstein into the majority of people who investigate the activities of the wts from its beginning history there were obvious false proclamations and doctrines propagated by the wts.. a matter of fact the wts produced a long list of literature that posted proclamations on the front cover and went into detail of things that were suppose to happen, from jesus returning changing the world in which we live and so on.. wonderful things one might say but not factual or either theologically correct .

The problem with most JWS is that they are poorly educated so when the current events are used to show mankind is living in the last days ( ie. plagues ) they eat it up like jam on toast and dont question what the JWorg leaders (GB) say.
So 30 years from now the same people at the top of the organization will implying the same fear mongering tactics.
It unfortunately works on a segment of the population.
They will become the Org's mentally brainwashed slaves as the people before them.

The Armageddon soon doctrine which the WTS has proliferated for over 100 years is impart one that builds the controlling power for the GB members.
The time of this system of things is short so here is what you must do to make yourself righteous in the eyes of god so you as an individual can make through to paradise.

Reason why fancy dress up parties were totally band!
by Witness 007 inwe had a fancy dress up party in our congregation.
elders special pioneers and many others came, though some came as cowboys and pirates with guns and swords which was not in line with the watchtowers "beat your swords into plough sheers.
" some sisters were belly dancers....yes they exposed their stomachs.....shock horror!

Having lose harmless fun is frowned upon in JW cult land, it was always an oppressive religion, orchestrated by overly empowered elders, it still is.
