His patrons are dropping lightning fast compared with another YouTube disaster boogie2988. It took him years to lose his patrons but he’s down to about 10% of his original supporters.

Boogie’s story is pretty boring compared with this one actually. He just turned out to be a nasty person, but with less drama.

His numbers keep dropping with each video he makes. It cheers me up to see, so it does.
It’s difficult to believe most haven’t abandoned his channel and Patreon yet. I can only assume that many haven’t heard him going off the reservation, and they keep finding out slowly but surely.
The big JW news at the moment is from Norway, and well covered on other channels. His channel is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

I suspect you are making a good point EdenOne although I’m not sure I have caught the meaning of it exactly.

Something those who continue to give him money should bear in mind, it is possible some young women fleeing Ukraine will end up in Croatia against their will.
i just discovered a clipping from an old new york times article on the release of the first nwt volume.
it was tucked inside a nwt volume i purchased on ebay.
i thought it interesting and made a pdf of it.
Thanks for bringing this up. Interesting that the NWT committee was described as an “international committee”. I wonder if that was in the talk, or if that was an inference by the reporter. It could be either because George Gangas from Greece,or might be an inference from mention of “International Bible Students Association”.
The claim that phraseology “Father, Son and Holy Spirit” is common in the Bible and JWs replaced it seems a wildly off description of the Johannine Comma.
The concern about fission and fusion weapons seems particular to the time—and now ours.
The focus on sales numbers is a reminder that the NWT was a bestseller in its day and probably a source of significant income for the Society, as well as being theological and ideologically significant.
Yes the “New World Society” was the JW catchphrase of the 1950s, snd gave its name to the Bible version. When I was a JW it was more common to refer to the “new system” rather than the “New World”, apart from the very popular panda tract, which was referred to as the “new world tract”.
it is nice to see some familiar faces here.

thought i would drop by and say hello; see how people are doing.
Good to see blondie and Lady Lee here! 🎉

Patreon numbers still coming down, steady but surely. I don’t think even Boogie2988 dropped this fast during his fall from grace.
jws believe that today, the time we live in is the worst time ever in history.
i know cause i just had a jw tell me yesterday this was the case.
he pointed to covid, the russian-ukraine war, the high gas prices and the food shortage happening.
Unfortunately, I think 2022 has the potential to be the worst year in history, by some margin. Because humans have capabilities for harming ourselves now more than at any time in the past, and we have a crisis that could lead us down that path. So it’s true, so far 2022 is nowhere near the worst year in history, but it’s got over eight months yet to go.
If we survive this year, the coming decades are looking pretty precarious too, because we have a changing climate that produces migrations that fuel wars that worsen climate change that produces migrations that fuel wars …
For one thing I’ve read that Russia actually stands to benefit from a warmer climate because it will increase their arable land area. So they have little incentive to curb carbon emissions. Other countries, such as India with well over a billion people, lying on the equator, and also a nuclear power, could become virtually uninhabitable. How will that play out?
Who knows what this century holds for humanity? If there is a God in charge maybe this is a time to intervene in history.

Good to see you Lady Lee, may you long yet thrive, or, if you appreciate some Scots: lang may yer lum reek.
I wonder if you hear from Jgnat at all? There are lots of old timers around at the moment.
