Downsizing
Remember that word when changes come to the organization.
Your Witless relatives might object to your saying that
the "organization is dying".
So, ease them into the concept slowly,
"the organization is downsizing".
you'll be glad you did
metatron("glorious Theocracy, ever downsizing.....")
Good one Metatron - OR
what about "the org is keeping its eye simple"?
LOL

Yes, they never would use the word "down-sizing". Always "simplification".
"Aren't we glad brothers at the new simplified food arrangements at the conventions so that everyone can get the full benefit of the program?"
Whatever happened to all the benefits and fun from volunteering? The simplification got so out of hand that we have to take our garbage home with us. Stinkin' lineups up at every coffee shop within walking distance of a convention. At least give the people their coffee.

Metatron,
I love it. Words are everything, and that reminds me of some things I would like to say to them.
JW: We sure are living in terrible times. Me: Yeh, I sure wish I lived in the 14th century when times were good.
JW: The end is near. Me: Yep, a lot nearer than it was in 1879.
JW: How long have you been in the truth? Me: Ever since I took physics, chemistry, and calculus.
JW: Would you like a free home Bible study? Sure, we will spend 30 minutes in a book of your choice, and we will spend 30 minutes in Crisis of Conscience.
JW: Would you like to come to our public talk? Me: Will anyone else from the public besides me, be there? Also, do I have to shave my beard? While you are here, here is my time slip for the last 30 years. Yes, I know it is blank.
Larc,
JW: Isn't it great getting spiritual food at the proper time. Me: I'm hungry, let's go grab a hamburger.
Or...'You have to learn to be patient and rely on Jehovah...but you can go to the elders if you want it resolved now.'

"Aren't we glad brothers at the new simplified food arrangements at the conventions so that everyone can get the full benefit of the program?"
I loved this! You are so right....that was such a wheel barrel load and it is one that most everyone totally did not buy. The only ones who sighed in relief were the elders who were proverbially in charge and the ones who volunteered or were volunteered for each assembly/convention regardless. Kinda like habit.
JayHawk,
I like it. How about this one:
JW: We need our meat in due season. Me: I'll take a Porterhouse, go light on the seasoning.
