As I`ve said previously NO and now at my age I won`t even use cruise control on a freeway at my age ,I don`t fancy running into anything @ 100 Kph if I should unexpectrdly have a health issue.
Safer for me and everybody else ,

Wasn`t the real estate in Brooklyn the bulk of where their real estate money was tied up in ? Now that that`s all been sold or most of it if not all ,where else can they rely on a real estate windfall ?
To provide the necessary moneys they are going to need in the near future ?
Maybe the writing is on the wall for them .And its just a matter of time now.

And that scripture of course would be Matt.24:12 I guess . "and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off "
Its not only the JW`s that speak out of both sides of its mouth ,the Bible is just as guilty.
Zech.8:23 " This is what jehovah of armies has said ,it will be in those days that ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold ,yes ,they will actually take hold of the skirt of a man who is a jew saying ,we will go with you people for we have heard that God is with you people"
As Jehovah`s Witnesses interpret the bible that is.

"Do You think that 8 million are being deceived?" Ways to answer this?

mine is : jws preach that the entire population of the earth has been deceived ..
smiddy3

Believers in God that can be traced back to the Bible Jews muslims and Christians both Catholic and Protestant.
Muslims approx. 1.5 Billion
Catholics " 1.2 Billion
Protestants " 1.0 Billion
Jewish # " 9 Million # Jewish / People -Faith
That`s nearly half of the Worlds total population isn`t it ?
How does that lot stand up with 8.5 Million Jehovahs Witnesses ,just who is God blessing ?

Those who want to believe in god

i find it funny how many people want to broad cast their religion on fb then whine whine when others critique it.

its like the ny times saying no one has a right to criticize its oped.

don't put it on the world wide web if you don't want others opinion on it.

Just a minor correction JY if I may ,JW /WT religion teach/taught that the earth was created 48,000 years ago not 6,000 years ago ,that was when Adam was suposed to have been created which is bloody ridiculous anyway.
They claim/ed each creative day was 7000 years long and the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ would take us to 49,000 years of creation as far as Jehovah`s plan for the earth was concerned .
And I can agree with most of what you say in your OP .
