Most of the physical assets gone, Mainly on line with about 3-4million subscribers (there will be a nominal subscription fee). 1914 will get dropped - or just won’t be mentioned. 144k is a symbolic number.

The current GB/overlapping GB will go back behind the curtain as exposure has made the r & f realise they are following men and contempt will set in.
Numbers will decline in the West and they will go back to meeting in houses
Door to door preaching will stop completely
Paradise will be spiritual and figurative
Armageddon will become your own personal one at death and invisible
Everyone will partake of the emblems
The religion will be all electronic with KHs obsolete and just assemblies and conventions twice a year.
The blood doctrine will become a conscience matter and so will shunning
Birthdays and Xmas will also become conscience matters
They will become so mainstream they will differ very little from other surviving religions which will also be in decline

Surely Armageddon will have been here long before we have to worry about what is going to happen 2o years from now................. (I'm sure I read that somewhere).

What you said reminded me of something that was told to me. I was at an assembly with a friend of mine. She told me if we knew how close we are to Armageddon, we would just die from a heart attack. Yes, I know it was an odd use for the word, heart attack, but she said it. Anyways, that was over 30 years ago.

It depend on the actions of the world powers. If we have a major conflict the numbers will grow but if we have peace, yes the numbers will decrease..

In 20 years I will be almost 72. My JW mom will be almost 95. I hope neither JWs or this site are around and it is a distant memory for all of us.
