ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.
honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.
to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.
Their numbers are so bogus their not even worth mentioning! Just go compare their Kingdom Halls with those of the 7th day Adventists or Mormons. The other two buildings are bigger nicer and more of them in the same geographical area that you would compare.
The JWs have been lying about their numbers for years!

The Borg since 1978 only shows growth, they will never admit that the overwhelming number of young adults raised in the cult leave. They won’t admit how many have left since the change in the generation teaching or how many have died since the huge push in the early 70s. The won’t say how many have been trashed by the elders and left or have been wronged by another JW and won’t go back. And ofcourse they never admit how many have woken up do to thing they have learned and seen online.
But thier selling Kingdom Halls like crazy and that’s a sign now isn’t it! Oh yeah!!!
the next time a jw brings up a natural disaster or severe weather event as proof of the last days, and they preface it by reciting a fact they heard on the news like, (just for the sake of example) 'it's the worst earthquake in 70 years' or 'the worst plague in 200' years', (you get the picture), then simply reply: "oh, so that means that ____ years ago there was one that was worse, right?".
i did this twice.
both times got the same response:.
In China the government demolished a mega church , the JWs are all love in it now , means governments about to turn on false religion. One JW even posted the comment “now it starts “

I think they took losses in the markets during the last economic crash. I believe they are also paranoid they will loose real estate to lawsuits, we saw this happen when a court ordered a building of their seized until they could come up with the money. Also heard they wanted out of New York because of the terrorist Attack's.
The economic crash also probably didn’t help their numbers too. People thought they would be protected by god from these things yet instead they ended up bankrupt and loosing their homes.
I’ll bet many after getting back on their feet didn’t have any real faith in their god or their religion anymore.
so i roll up to the job site and looky there, two uber pioneer dubs dragging themselves down the sidewalk.
both ladies are in there early 60's and born in.. my heart started pumping, but i had to act.i was directly across the street from them.
i walked right to the sidewalk and said in a very loud, but not mean voice: "you can't teach overlapping generations from the bible!!
Good for you these people need to get it back at them both barrels!! All their lies all the while saying Christendom is lying and evil!
when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.
i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.
i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.
They pretty much have .
at this moment, we are in the jewish month of tishri.
it is the first month of the civil calendar and is the 7th month.. research quickly shows its deep religious significance, including solemn feasts such as the day of atonement, gedaliah, etc.:.

I have read that jesus was literally a sacrificial lamb and actually depicted so in early pics and writtings. It was later that he becomes human/god. So it’s hard to say, the Jews had a day or festival one per year where they would sacrifice two sheep. One was viewed as pure and killed for a sacrifice and the other took on the sins of mankind and was cast out into the wilderness to attract demons or something. Anyway that maybe the best place to start. And then work your way forward because after this is when it seems like Egyptian, Persian and Greek influences take over in the story of Christ.
What about the fact that the human genome project showed that human DNA are made up of almost 50% Viruses.
in my studies i’ve come to realize that most dying and rising gods such as inanna, jesus and others all were dead three days and nights.
the moon is dead as far as man not being able to see it in the sky three days and nights but many of these gods are not associated with the moon, osiris maybe being the only exception.
have any of you in your research come up with a plausible idea on why there all dead just threes days and three nights?.
The three days the Sun is dead during the winter solstice is very plausible and thanks for all your other ideas. Also like I mentioned the moon is out of sight three days per month too. What’s interesting is that in early religions ideas neither the son god or moon god is the one that dies. The only exception is Osiris in his later mythology and possibly Mithras but there not much in any writings about him going back to Persia where he was originally invented and worshiped.
Some say Horus also a sun god was dead three days after being killed by Set but again no verifiable sources.
my husband was baptized at the recent 2018 convention in south africa ....... he was very annoyed that his non-believing wife did not attend the baptism....... but i think he received pressure from his jw father & elders as to why his wife was not attending ....... anyway ..... it's really water off my back .
i wanted to know what privileges you get as a baptized jw man , as i saw a message from one of the elders at his cong , congratulating him on his baptism and to earning more privileges ..... what are these privileges the elder is speaking about ,,,,, .
i don't feel like asking my husband as it just lands up in a stupid fight ..... or a long winded explanation ..... thanks .
I don’t know if this was already said but the privilege of being asked and expected to give money. Oh and don’t forget he’ll also be blessed for being a baptized JW part of gods true organization. His blessings will never be seen heard or in anyway experienced by him but mark my words he’ll be blessed.
