The facts *again* are:
The Moon does run slow (recession of nodes), however there is no evidence that it is "slowing".
The Earth does run slow (leap second), again there is no evidence that it is "slowing". The word "slowing" is conjecture.

How could you extrapolate a stoppage when you have no proof of slowing?
There is definitely evidence of slowing. I referred to that evidence in this post. The evidence is fairly conclusive, seems to me.
