  The other day my wife and I were at a function and the naitonal anthem was sung. My wife wouldnt stand because the society tells her not to. I think this is disgusting. There are different reasons for not saluting and some of them may be valid. I told my wife that it is because of what that flag stands for that the jws are even allowed to exist. If men had not died for our country and for the flag jws most likely wouldnt even exist. You can not agree with what our country does all the time, but its because of the flag that you are able to disagree and still have the same rights as everyone else. I think this is a beautiful concept, and one that should be honored. I dont worship the flag, or my country, but i recognize that while our system is not perfect, it does a damn good job. I think this is something the WTS can relate too, although i think our system does a much better job than thiers. I told her i think if jws dont want to salute our flag they should all just move to malawi and see how they like it there. Thats all

  does anyone else think the wts is going to have seious money problems soon?

  growth in the us has been little and with the old timers dying off there may be less and less people soon.

  but growth in poor countries is pretty heavy.

  yeah i dont think this is something that will happen in a year probably like 10 or 20 but i think its gonna happen. Sometimes i go to the kingdom hall with my wife. To be perfectly honest it doesnt look like they are pulling in new members from outside sources. It seems majority of the members are all family members like so and so's daughter just came back into the truth and brought her new hubby and thier 2 kids. Then you have the occasional minority like a puerto rican or a black family from ghana or something there and ive even seen a few members who were slightly retarded believe it or not. i dont mean that in a mean way but the wts gives these people a purpose in life that maybe they couldnt find somewhere else and i dont know if thats good or bad but my wife was raised in the truth for the past 25 yrs and shes just starting to go back even though im giving her the other side which she is taking in gradually. Her family consists of about 7 and only one is active right now her mom. I see that the other 6 including her teeter in and out but im sure some will get back in and bring thier families and that will add to the growth numbers but u see its all family related.

  Does anyone else think the WTS is going to have seious money problems soon? Growth in the US has been little and with the old timers dying off there may be less and less people soon. But growth in poor countries is pretty heavy. So if the people that donate the money here in the US are gone soon and growth continues in poor countries where people have no money to donate what will happen? Will the WTS fizzle out? I just dont know whats gonna happen if it does i figure all the jws will break off into splinter groups and it will be a bigger mess. Sort of a neverending cycle. Any thoughts?
