It’s daunting and scary first. Then it turns to anger to know you have been duped. Then fascinating as you strip away the layers and find out thing you were oblivious to. It’s an interesting walk.

Anyone get the feeling that the cult is really in trouble.
by mickbobcat inso all the bs and hyperbole aside, to me it really looks like the cult is in trouble.
shrinking member, selling halls.
the move to televangelism is really strange to me.

It will be interesting to see what happens when congregations return to the halls. That’s if they return at all. In my opinion nothing beats face to face contact. I was talking to a PIMI JW a few weeks back about this. He could see how it didn’t make sense that they weren’t personally meeting at the hall, and yet his field service group all meet on a Saturday morning to write letters. By his admission he likened this Saturday morning activity more to a social event, than what it was to preaching the kingdom. I kind of got the impression from him that he was quite pleased with this outcome. He also agreed with me that if people getting covid was such a big concern to the GB then why aren’t they also having the field service groups over zoom as well. Why hasn’t the GB, gone all out, and banned all JW contact both formally and informally, because of their loving concern for it members. He admitted that the Saturday morning event didn't make sense in the context of not meeting in the KH. He also agreed that it seemed unusual that Babylon the great was up and running, while Jahs chariot, which has all seeing eyes and can move in all directions, was desperately lagging behind.

KH's Still All Closed- How Bad is WT doing Financially?
by OnTheWayOut inmost churches are back to in-person worship.
not jehovah's witnesses.
is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?

“Call a spade a spade” I say. Here is another conversation I just had with an orthodox, PIMI, JW. With a very similar result.

It will be interesting to see how things will pan out. Also bear in mind they lost a similar type case in Belgium. Let’s hope for watchtower sakes that the Belgium and Norwegian governments don’t start talking to each other.

Why Is Nothing Being Done About Looters?
by minimus inlooting is happening everywhere like never before.
brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.
popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.

What would happen if the Watchtower decided no more meeting at Kingdom Halls, only Zoom?
by pistolpete ini’m seeing my hard core believing relatives slowly losing faith that the watchtower is the organization that “god” is using to represent him on earth.. just about all the churches in their area have opened up.. but not the watchtower.. this is having an affect on the faith of even the old timers.
now the only ones who are still holding the faith are the female jws and only those past 70 years of age.
even my old male jw relative past 70 are starting to say that it can’t be jehovah’s organization because the other churches are all open and god supposed organization who is supposed to preach the warning message is still closed with no open in sight.

Going totally online would solve a lot of their problems regarding liability, and cash flow. That been said I think the negatives far out weigh the positives in that ultimately they loose control. I think it was only 12-13 months into zoom meetings and there was a elders letter about people holding private discussion groups. Ultimately there is nothing like face to face contact. I feel if they go on line, and run with the money, this will ultimately be the end of them,

What are your personal reasons for hating the Jehovah's Witnesses religion ?
by Rocketman123 infirst thing comes to mind is that this organization through its leaders are not witnessing the true and honest version of the gospel teachings of jesus christ .. they are subjectively teaching/preaching a tainted version made up by the top controlling men of the organization, which i'm sure is connected to the proliferation and distribution of literature which these men publish themselves.
.
when jesus said that no one knows of the time not even he, he didn't say a select few will know .. the other thing that bothers me is this organization promotes human ignorance on many levels, admonishing education or knowledge that mankind needs for its very survival... there are many other religious organizations that do this as well but the jws is just one of these organizations.
