Yup looks like it. I can’t believe some people haven’t stopped sending him their money yet. And did nobody demand their money back through Patreon?

Prostitution is illegal in Thailand and Croatia only for the party getting paid. Lloyd paid but it was not illegal!
Really? That sounds back to front.
Has Le been referring to this specifically too? I thought his strategy was to get ever more vague about what the actual controversy is about. -

There are plenty of memes on this thread that would do as appropriate “submissions” for his “wall art”. 🙄

“I’ll do my work in my own time, but thanks.”
I bet that response to someone offering you advice sounded impressively smart inside your own head. In reality it’s just you letting your personality slip out again - but keep it up, you’re doing our work for us. 👍

Top AI inventor Geoffrey Hinton reluctantly concluded that AI will probably humanity fairly soon
by slimboyfat ingeoffrey hinton, major inventor of artificial intelligence: .
“if you take the existential risk seriously, as i now do—i used to think it was way off, but now i think it’s serious, and fairly close—it might be quite sensible to just stop developing these things any further, but i think it’s completely naïve to think that would happen.
there’s no way to make that happen.

David Chalmers? Cool, he’s one of my favourite philosophers. 👍
Beth Sarim I think many are now expecting it much sooner than that, like within a few years, perhaps within a decade.
Geoffrey Hinton says he never used to worry about super-intelligent AI because he assumed it was 100 years away or more. That was his view for decades while at the forefront of research. But in the past three years the rapid progress of AI has surprised him and he has completely reconsidered his expectations.

I wonder if any who were dismissive of the threat from artificial intelligence are reevaluating the situation yet? More experts now expressing concern publicly.

1290 jw congregations have been deleted since 4th dec 2022. i have a full map so you can explore active/deleted congs, and also orphaned halls https://analytics.jws-library.one/viewmap.html.
many of the deletions in the usa appear to be foreign language groups.

They did announce a few years ago that they were scaling back “foreign language” because it wasn’t as productive as they hoped.
Does a foreign language “group” count as a congregation in the figures?
Is the possible to name the 16 congregations that have closed in Britain?

What`s the reason some of you think JW`s are in decline ?
by smiddy3 infrom what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.
is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.

I’ve been at an assembly where there were no baptisms at all. They gave the baptism talk anyway. Automatons.

In 20 years it will be gone. I've noticed young couples are not having children
It takes a long, long time for churches to die out completely. The Methodist church in the UK began declining in the 1930s and has been declining steeply ever since. Even so they will likely not die out completely until the 2040s. That’s over a hundred years of steady decline before they will close their doors entirely. JWs on the other hand have not even begun to decline yet.
This is a graph of Methodist growth and decline over a 300 year period.
