This is consistent with the usual contempt leadership shows the public and the rank and file members, similar to the perpetual deficit scam they run at assemblies. Keep the masses in the dark about what's really going on. After all, they're not entitled to the full truth, just the part the governing body feels they need to know.

Didn't CoC mention how those questions from readers articles were not ever really questions from any readers. That was just a lying title to go above the lying brainwashing.
I mean, it's not like they provide an address to mail questions to. Pretty obvious ruse.

why did man go from living 900 years to 90?
by sowhatnow ini cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.

This was supposed to have blanketed out much of the harmful radiation from reaching the Biosphere layers.
Evidently, radiation is responsible for a 90% drop in life expectancy.
Stupid doctors are full of shit, man. I don't know about you, but imma start applying a 1/4 inch coat of SPF 200 every day. That oughta be good for an extra decade or two.

That's a good point about technology. They even had a radio station back then.
I guess from my vantage point I look at JW TV as a symbol of everything that's changed in the past 10 years, but I see your point. While it may be something completely new to today's Witnesses, it would be consistent with the general outlook they had in the 40s.

What would the folks in the pictures think of JW TV, assuming they didn't live long enough to see it for themselves? -

How long do JW study the bible with someone? Until baptism?
by Lynnie ini have a 35 year old cousin who got baptized last year after rejecting the jw since she was 13. not sure what happened to change her mind, i suspect it's all about family since her dad is an elder and her two sisters are very much in.
her oldest sister is married to a middle management guy in bethel.
so she studied for about 2 years until she decided to get baptised.

I got baptized in 95. Back then they were supposed to study two books with you. The Live Forever book and a second one. The guy who gave me study kept it up for a while after I got baptized but eventually just stopped showing up. It was completely unnecessary. I'd become a teenage JW zealot and this man had a family to look after. Plus, he could no longer count his time, so what was the point.
A year or two later they came out with the Knowledge book and instructed witnesses to try to wrap up the study within six months on account of Armageddon's proximity. That was nearly 20 years ago.

National Sibling's Day?
by thedepressedsoul ini'm not sure how many of you are aware but today is national siblings day.
what i find odd is that social media, fb, instagram etc... i see tons and tons of witnesses posting pictures of their siblings with the caption or hash tag, "national siblings day".
how is that any difference then fathers day, mothers day and so on?

Nobody cares. Unless the GB says it's bad, then all the dubs will wipe their social media accounts accordingly.
People are not allowed, and in many cases don't want, to have their own views.

I was a Mexican-American teenager in Texas when Tejano music was at its peak. Selena was the unquestionable star of the genre. For people in my demographic, her death had the impact I imagine John Lennon's death had on the wider population. It was a real punch in the gut.
It came out early on in her career that her family were JWs. They grew up in Corpus Christ, which was a few hours away from my hometown. There were people in my hall who knew people in Selena's hometown who confirmed the rumors. The family was said to have been "inactive" although they were often seen at assemblies.
After Selena died, her father gave many interviews and he mentioned their JW beliefs in several of them. Her brother formed his own band (which is still in existence). His arms are completely covered in tattoos, so I very much doubt he considers himself a Witness.
