This may be due to the fact that the age demographic of JWS has risen over the years, such as 60 and over group.

we are stuck like the first century christians in jerusalem.
but jesus said when the disgusting thing would stand in the holy place, it was time to swiftly flee to the mountains.. will jehovah god open a path to security where we can be in safety?

You let the pandemic burn out and then vaccinate so it doesn't return.
So lets say there were no restrictions and take for example the US would have by now well over a million, perhaps a million and half dead by now with the possibility of new variants beginning to appear which there may not be in the future no vaccine possible to combat it ?
Oh shit some people are stupid.
I think the medical community are on the right track in getting this virus under control and even they realize this virus will not be completely eliminated.
Humanity has been experiencing virus plagues since biblical times and probably before and to certain extent more severe such as the Black plague (1300's), try telling that to poorly educated people like Kososen .

Why do Men just want to control each other, and have control over you.
by pistolpete init seems like the moment someone attains some type of power, whether it's money, political power, or religious power, their first agenda is ---to control others.. bill gates is a good example of this.
another is george soros and michael bloomberg.
and let's not forget all the politician and religious leaders like the governing body.

Men seek power over others through an established structure of self empowerment which also brings them an uplifted sense of self worth and importance in human social environments, which you usually can find in religious organizations.
Spiritual leaders derive their power from supernatural spiritual beings which they claim they are supposedly connected to.
A vilification of self glorification is established.
Some good things can actually come from these men, sometimes not so good.

What you can see is that many JWS are acting out through a pretentious characterization of righteous virtue and wholesomeness.
A portrayed characterization designed and arranged by the WTS and its leaders themselves.
They are in essence mostly playing to this role in cooperative unison and acceptance.
Is he a brother , is she a sister ?
The cumulative answer and how much involved they actively are such as in Pioneering, eldership, DO's, GB members etc. relates to their level of assumed righteousness.
The reality is these people can be just as behaviorally wrong as the common practicing JWS are or non JWS for that matter.

A Site About the Governing Body
by Anna Marina inthis site puts the spotlight on gb's teachings, actions and policies.. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses - putting a spotlight on their teachings, actions, and policies.
the latest article examines the reasons why it is not scriptural to apply the two witness rule to child sexual abuse cases.. the “two witness rule”, is it scriptural to apply it to child sexual abuse cases?
- the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

When men seek power and derive it from old ancient mythological writings such as the bible or the Quran and not from modern secular knowledge, humanity always suffers in one way or another.
The leaders of the JWS (GB) is a case in point.

Remember when HITTING A WOMAN was just WRONG!
by pistolpete injust a few years ago, any man that slapped a women was considered a piece of shit.
today people are are paying and cheering to see a man knocking the shit out of a woman.
what feminists, social warriors, and gender recognition fighters don't realized is that their actions are actually causing the world to revert back to the days when the world treated women as property, second class species, with no rights whatsoever, whose only value was a sex instrument for the male species.

Sorry but I don't think a guy born a biological male and therefore have that natural physical advantage should be able to compete in fighting sports even if they are of the same weight class competing against natural born females.
I also don't think something actively stupid and wrong has to be labeled or associated with left or right political ideologies.
In practice common sense doesn't need it.

1995 generation change
by Gorb innow, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

But keep in mind folks that those who control or make their own doctrines, actively lure in and control the people.
Thats why the JWS leaders never sought out collaboration and backing support from other knowledgeable and trained bible theologians.
"This Generation" revision is flawed not only from its own derivative, its also flawed because its based from another flawed doctrine which is 1914.
One should always keep in mind that the WTS's doctrines were ideologically contrived in support of literature proliferation, not particularly in truthful and accurate scriptural interpretation.

Sure some got married to woman to only eventually come out the closet leaving their female wives for male partners .
Kind of felt sorry for those woman.
One guy I remember was known to be homosexual but didn't act upon it, who eventually became an elder, go figure.
