Stayed there once on a visit to Bethel. Seems the lobby was pretty fancy. We had 5 or 6 young guys from area congs we knew well and visited. Seems like those were the glory days of WT.

This is why I am very Glad I walked away from the Jehovah’s Witnesses while I still had a little youth left. 🙏🏻 I consider this to be priceless.. . . . I can’t think of anything more depressing than anybody growing old sitting in a Kingdom Hall. ~ LHG
We recently attended a couple memorial services at the KHall of long time JW friends and witnessed several older friends (should I say "acquaintances") who are living that exact scenario to which you refer. Yes! Depressing to see! How much more so if it was us personally!
The greatest revenge is living a happy & successful life!

Reddit thread on convention video urging cutting off contact with Faders
by LongHairGal ini just read this.
don’t know if anybody here has seen the video.. the intended result of this is to obviously scare ‘faders’ out of the shadows.
now, they are being threatened with loss of association with their loved ones and friends.

Sunk cost fallacy and not wanting elderly relatives to understand they have wasted their lives believing something that was lies. . . . . siblings can now openly talk about how they were mislead into making decisions decades ago based on the lie that the end would come soon. . . . now they are elderly themselves
The phrase I highlighted is the sad part. If you wait and wait so as to not offend others (ie, parents) you find out that now you are too old to start over too and you have been robbed of more years of your own life.

April 1st,1972 WT. THEY SHALL KNOW A PROPHET WAS AMONG THEM, This article claims that Jehovah’s Witnesses are indeed, prophets.
They would claim that was just Old Light.
Step up your pace and keep with the program!

The famous Menlo Park Kingdom Hall in California is now a Spanish Pentecostal Church!
I thought that entire battle was over the fact that the real estate had become so valuable? And a Pentecostal Church had the (bid?) bucks to buy it? Did they keep the old Hall? Or, demo it and erect a new church?

One CO (Andy Laguna) told me in the 90s he wouldn't even consider appointing new servants who didn't average 15 hrs per month with at least one study.
Now one only has to "fog a mirror".
Oh yah, and have a penis, though there is no longer the requirement for hair on your balls.

The Prophetic Days in Daniel Fulfilled
by EisMe in“this will be the final topic i post.
the structured fulfillment of prophecy has now been made undeniably clear, and after completing one final task—the letter to the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses—i will take my rest.
the truth has been presented, the timeline confirmed, and all that remains is the culmination of prophecy itself.” estephan leuese.
