Friend,
Amen to the first part of your post.
:There are forecasts that some return to the positive can be accomplished by discouraging Internet usage.
Since when does the discouragement of the free flow of information create anything "positive?" In what societies did that ever work for any length of time? And how did it work for the benefit of the people so deprived? Keeping people uninformed is what the WTS has chided the Baby Grape, and particularly the Catholic Church for around 70 years.
:The same forecasts indicate a sharp turn again to the negative unless issues are addressed substantively.
It seems that those "forecasts" are mutually contradictive. Who made these "forecasts," anyway?
But THAT notion makes sense! I'm sure you are for the latter and not the former. I am.
Farkel, who made a forecast once and was wrong. Never did it again without making major disclaimers. Apparently not very "spirit-directed" and admits it.
