I’d be interested to know just how much coin he makes out of it. Obviously if he can afford to employ someone else he must have some very generous patrons.

what i mean by the title of this thread is what has happened to a relative of mine, one who is really upset about this factor:.

this relative is a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family.

she studied as a child and got baptized at 14 1/2 years old.

I know of a long term serving CO, who a few years back got kicked to the kerb. To be fair he was an unusual type of guy. I heard from a relative that she was concerned for him as the rented house he was living in had rat problems. Fuck you Wt.

it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.

i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.

the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.

This is kind of weird as I hear people talking about the overlapping generation. As it really wasn’t until I become involved with apostate websites, as a PIMO. That the significance of it really hit home. As a PIMI I knew about the overlapping generation, but it never really bothered me or did I care to know.

Would You Like To Be God?

we know there are a few on this forum who think they are, but consider this for a while.

if you are god, you are omniscient, therefore you have nothing to learn.

nothing to research, investigate or explore as there is nothing you don’t already know.

Ultimate Axiom- that is a good point you raised about taking seriously a God who has no beginning or end. Let’s examine that idea from a human standpoint. God is the alpha and the omega. Both before and after him there will be no one like him. Considering humans only use a fraction of their brains capacity. Maybe Gods true being of love, justice, wisdom and power is beyond the realms of human comprehension. Even the physicality of God in the things he created is still beyond the realms of human comprehension e.g ageing and death.
If you want to become a God. My advise would be go join up with Mormonism,

if watchtower becomes a online religion, how you think transition gonna be like?

i thought this maeby would happen in a span of 20 years.

when all old timers are gone and just the new tech savvy generation left.

Removing the DFing arrangement, ain’t ever going to happen. It would probably finish them quicker than going online would. They would get sued out of existence. It’s too late now to reverse that now, although I’d imagine some at the top would like to see the end of it.

Like I said the religion is based on physicality. It’s hard to control someone in an environment, where tracking what a person dose and where they physically are, is almost impossible. Hey it makes been able to eat the chocolate bar and get away with it so much easier, particularly if you have pre existing doubts.
The religion needs to get rid of freeloaders e.g PIMOs. Going online could be the answer to getting rid of this dead weight. PIMOs other than for the sake of appearances, are a liability to the Borg. They need to have a smaller more devoted membership. Particularly in westernised countries, who are willing to part with their money. PIMOS contribute nothing, both in time and resources.

I can see there been more disadvantages than advantages to going on line. True, they get to free up the cash they have in property, and minimise their exposure to CSA.
Because it’s been an organisation very much based on the control of its members, they need to have physicality. How could I be summoned to a JC, where nobody knows where I live, or what I get up to. It makes turning up 3 times a year, to account for myself, a-lot more “double life” friendly. This could also be a JW positive, as they religion certainly needs to get rid of PIMO’s, and concentrate more on its core believers. Particularly ones who are willing to part with their money. I’m convinced if the go totally on line it will inevitably be the end of them or at least the religion I knew.
The GB would certainly have be aware of this as they contemplate their next move.
