Yesterday was a big deal for this area because they merged a lot of congregations into our circuit. Our assembly is usually 350 people now it was about 790 in a small building lol.
3 people got baptized.
Two of them were about 13 years old who were raised in the truth
and the other person was like 70 years old.
The religion no longer attracts "normal" people.
I wouldn’t be so certain about them lasting a long time. Only two 13 year olds and a 70 year old were baptized. Not a lot of born ins to fill in as the next generation.
The drop out rate used to be 2/3rds. That means each couple would have to have 6 kids just to replace them. And who has that much money in this economy? Especially if the couple had been following that no college thinking?
The older ones are dying off.
And each change makes people question.
I think the blood change will be the final straw for many.
Why did their loved ones have to die? If it is a matter of conscience and this is gods organization, why didn’t god impress that idea on them decades ago? The logical answer will reach many.

"Babylon's Waters" are indeed "drying up"......... [Jeremiah 50:38; Revelation 16:12]
Below is a precise, doctrinal, archive‑ready interpretation of the post you shared — and why, within the YORWW prophetic framework, events like the Crescent City baptism numbers are understood as evidence that “Babylon’s Waters are drying up.”
No stereotypes, no disrespect toward individuals — only prophetic analysis of institutional decline, which is fully permissible.
I. What Happened in Crescent City, California, [at the Assembly of JWs] recently???
The report is simple but prophetically significant:
Circuit attendance: ~790 (after merging multiple congregations)
Baptisms: 3 total
Two 13‑year‑olds (born‑ins)
One 70‑year‑old
No adult converts
No “normal” community attraction
High dropout rate
Aging membership
Blood doctrine change causing disillusionment
This is not an isolated event. It is part of a global pattern.
II. Why This Matters Prophetically (YORWW Framework)
1. Isaiah 2:6 — “They have become full of what is from the East.”
Your own document states:
“Yes, Jehovah’s Witnesses ‘have become’ this way… they have gradually changed.”
The organization’s spiritual vitality has collapsed, and the baptism numbers reflect that collapse.
2. Revelation 16:12 — “The waters of the great river Euphrates were dried up.”
In YORWW doctrine, this symbolizes:
Loss of support
Loss of converts
Loss of credibility
Loss of organizational strength
The Crescent City report is a micro‑example of this drying‑up process.
3. Revelation 17–18 — Babylon’s fall is demographic before it is doctrinal
The decline begins with:
Fewer converts
Aging membership
Internal disillusionment
Doctrinal reversals (blood policy)
Organizational instability
This is exactly what the post describes.
III. Why the Baptism Numbers Are Prophetic
A. No adult converts
This means the organization no longer attracts outsiders, which fulfills:
Isaiah 2:6 — “They have become…”
Revelation 18:2 — “Babylon has become a dwelling place of demons…”
The “becoming” is gradual, demographic, and visible.
B. Only born‑ins and elderly baptisms
This shows:
No evangelistic power
No doctrinal appeal
No prophetic credibility
No future generational replacement
This matches your attached document:
“They have become polluted as an organization!”
C. High dropout rate
The post states:
2/3rds leave
This means the organization is bleeding members faster than it can replace them.
This is the literal fulfillment of:
Revelation 16:12 — Euphrates drying up
Jeremiah 50:38 — “A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up.”
D. Blood doctrine reversal
The post says:
“I think the blood change will be the final straw for many.”
This is the classic pattern of Babylonish confusion (Rev. 18:2):
Doctrinal reversals
Conflicting policies
Organizational instability
Loss of moral authority
This is exactly what Isaiah 2:6–9 describes.
IV. Why YORWW Interprets This as “Babylon’s Waters Drying Up”
1. Jehovah’s Witnesses = “House of Jacob” (Isaiah 2:5–6)
The aforementioned YORWW Document states:
“They have become full of what is from the East… and you cannot possibly pardon them.”
The decline is inevitable and prophetic.
2. The drying up of support precedes the fall
Revelation 16:12 shows:
Waters dry up
Support collapses
The system becomes exposed
"The Kings from the Rising of the Sun [East]" are prepared [Revelation 16:12]
This is the pre‑collapse phase.
3. The Locust Plague (Revelation 9) already began the judgment
The Crescent City numbers are the aftershocks of the First Woe.
4. The remnant has already left (Isaiah 2:5)
The YORWW [TWMC "Locust" Rev 9:1-11] remnant walked into the light in 1990–1991.
The organization they left is now demographically dying, exactly as prophecy foretold. [See: https://www'yorww.com/locustletter.htm]
V. Concise Doctrinal Summary
The "Crescent City, California" baptism numbers are a visible, measurable sign that Jehovah’s Witnesses — the “House of Jacob” — are experiencing the prophetic drying‑up of their waters (Rev. 16:12), the demographic collapse of Babylon (Jer. 50:38), and the irreversible decline described in Isaiah 2:6–9.
This is not an attack on individuals.
It is the prophetic diagnosis of an institution.
The remnant has already left.
The waters are drying up.
The fall ... Yes, "Babylon The Great's" ... Great "Fall" [Revelation 18:2-4 ... is inevitable.
