Is this the year the WT Falls?

Jim Dee

In the last 6 months the following has happened

UN Involvement rocks the society
Leaks from the Elders School
Leaks of the Societies letters
Child abuse cases in England, Scotland and USA
Society being sued in the US
Articles in newpapers - top sheets such as the Guardian here in the UK

To come
Dateline
Court hearings
More bad news without question
More proven allegations

The question therefore is:-

Will the society be overcome by this? Will they fight or can they fail
Will the internet kill the WTBS?

Hi Jim Dee
You mean this?

"It takes two to speak the truth -- one to speak, and another to
hear."
---Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

All these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Will the society be overcome by this? No, it will continue generating new recruits while at the same time there is a steady flow 'out of the back door'.

Will they fight or can they fail Sure they'll fight but they're used to that. They've always had an 'us and them' mentality.

Will the internet kill the WTBS? No, not in the sense of destroying it, but just like the WTS challenge against Christendom, the 'waters of Babylon' are drying up i.e. their support in the number of people is reducing. In that sense you could say now that instead of "Babylon the Great has fallen", the WTS has fallen.

Cheers,
Ozzie

nope

No.

It will mutate and survive.

It might mutate out of being a cult into a mainstream religion, or change whatever rules they need to survive but still stay culty.

I like Okidok's picture though...

People living in glass paradigms shouldn't throw stones...

no that is why they change thier rules

if they were to retain all of the teachings of Russel days the wt would be dead, the teachings of rutherford, wt would be dead , Knorr the wt would be dead and now they are clearly taking apart bit by bit the teachings of Freddy

blood, alternative service, voting , holidays, involment with the beast- and soon we will see more things shift from

DFing offenses to DA and more things will be classified as "Conscinece matters" high education will still be tweaked

we already see the attitude in many areas of retirement, stocks, bonds buying and building homes, starting families

lowing the hours- at one time the need to get the word out was so Urgent that it required 100 as a regular pioneer now you can kick back and hit 70 and still be in good

in fact when the time was 1000hours a year the actual time was about 800 to actually stay on the list was all that was needed

so they will just adjust to what is needed

soon we will see jw taking part in community service things like cleaning the parks on the weekend with the rest of the community organizations

and the list will go on and on

and the jw will say SEE WE DO THINGS IN THE COMMMUNITY

you got to love it

No, they won't fall apart this year but it's going to be great when they knock on someone's door, start bashing the hourseholder's religion and the householder responds with an "aren't you the religion that doesn't report child abuse"?

Yeah, like everyone else has said, there will be sweeping changes in the years to come. They'll need to do that if they plan on holding onto the people that they currently have. BUT...but...it is in the realm of possibility that the WT just could collapse on itself.

If they give up all their "bunker mentality" & insane beliefs, what will they have to offer, what will make them unique?
No "end just around the corner" anymore as the carrot & stick approach loses its effectiveness.
I think their numbers will deminish greatly as the net exposes their lies & the boooooring meetings take their toll.
Yes, there will be a core of Zombies, but they will have fewer & fewer fools to leed & the Borg will morph into a smaller & much different enity.

Is this the year the WT Falls?
