  I find this hard to express properly but it seems to me that the rate of change is getting so rapid that nothing will be left of anything recognisable. We used to say that any one coming back after 50 years would not recognise the "truth".

  The entity existing now is totally different from 10 years ago. It seems reasonable to suppose that this will continue to the point that nothing before 2010 will be safe to read for Joe publisher (or possibly 'local instructor') So that he isn't corrupted or confused by old light. It seems to me that no one actually can have a proper grip on beliefs or even the structure of the organization any more.

  The whole thing is either morphing into something completely different or is dissolving before our eyes. Can it possibly take its sleep walking following with it?

  I think it's morphing with each new member of the GB and each loss, the personalities of those determine the personality of the BOrg. It's the same in local congs, the personality of the BOE shapes the personality of the cong.

  I don't think it will dissolve, but I certainly don't think things are morphing for the better, the GB are centralising everything and demanding more control with this. The GB are becoming more powerful, and giving elders the power to DF to keep them happy and loyal.

  It has basically disappeard right before our eyes ...hasn't it?

  Have been in since the 1960's and wracking my brain to think of

  SOMETHING that has not been changed or replaced...

  geez .....

  .

  .

  .

  ....still thinking here .... ok here's two.......no beards for men,

  and the end is 'soon'!

  Seriously ..... the doctine, dates, preaching, social acceptable

  activities, terminology, # service hours, # assembly days,

  length of talks, # of meetings etc etc..... everything has changed,

  and you will be df'd if you don't believe the new made-up stuff!

  *

  At this point all the literature that has been printed in the

  past is obsolete.

  All preaching done has been NOT at the 'right' time ..all wrong.

  All those people who should be now living in'paradise are dead!

  All a complete fail!

  The 1919 picking of 'faithful slave' has admittedly wrong &

  they won't be picked till after great tribulation ...did you notice

  the fds assured us that god WILL pick them tho ....... really!!!!

  So those slaves who are not even picked yet ....are still cracking

  the whip over all!

  Oh crap I could keep going ........All printed material is out of

  date & will be trashed (groan) & they have nothing left to say...

  watchtower is already gone!

  Only the momentum of the SOCIAL connections, is what keeps

  it propped up!

  DesirousOfChange - "It has to change to survive."

  You're absolutely correct.

  DesirousOfChange - "It will do both."

  Don't mistake the appearance of reform for the real thing.

  The core ideology of the WTS is still 100% authoritarian and shows no signs of letup; if anything, it is (internally) becoming even more so.
