was there one certain event or was it more a cumulative thing?.
For me it
was many things. I am a very analytical person. That is not a good trait to
have in the org. Certain things never made sense to me, but I always found a
way to repress or ignore those thoughts. But the one
thing that made me say "huh?" was the overlapping generations. I have
been mentally out ever since.
There was collateral damage, however. My marriage is shot. I have no friends. My wife and I don't even speak. It is almost like my family has moved on without me.
Sometimes I wonder if learning TTATT was worth it.
my brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.
what are people's thoughts on this?.
Is the earth flat? No

OTWO...At least they didn't run away immediately. Maybe you plated a seed of doubt. Who knows?
i see more people this year in an optimistic mood because of the economy.
will you be spending more money 💰 this year, or less or about the same as last year?.
Who said that the economy is better?
CNN? FOX? MSNBC?
Don't believe everything that you hear or read.
The Governing Body wishes you...
...would donate more often.
i know of some congregations and even circuits that have already met this fate recently.
are there any more to come for certain?.
Good point sir82; it is declining in the developed world.

How
can anyone (in their right mind anyway) say that the org is growing? When you
hear of mergers, dissolutions and consolidations, that is a sign of decline.
You really can’t BS your way out of it.

I knew that contraction has been going on everywhere. I just wasn’t sure if it was completed for now in Ohio.
