The OUTWARD apparent "normalisation" of the org that many Christians would find acceptable. Eg websites, videos, etc. (I mean amongst fundamental Christians)
But the INWARD hyping up of paranoia, isolationism and hysteria amongst witnesses.

Seriously? Comparing being ready to drive with being ready to dedicate your ENTIRE life to an Organization that will throw you away and ostracize you forever if you should ever disagree with them and you lose your whole family and social structure? COME ON! WAKE THE FUCK UP! -

''an Organization that will throw you away and ostracize you forever if you should ever disagree with them''
A hallmark sign of a cult.

The most notable change I've seen is the apathy that has invaded the borg. No more urgency. I hear more and more lifers sarcastically mentioning how we "should have been in the Paradise by now"!
The migration away from all religion has started and is especially noticeable among the 'cult' religions.
just saying!

I would agree with those who mentioned the GB making themselves the FDS. I knew about 607 and 1914 for a long time, but it didn't bother me enough to dig deeper.
For some reason, the "new light" about the FDS really made me uncomfortable and agitated. It sent me into a research frenzy. I read the gospels, doing my best to remove "WT glasses" (hard for a born-in JW), and I came to the conclusion that it was only a parable, not prophecy. After that, the whole WT framework just tumbled for me. I no longer saw the GB as sincere bible students.
Another big thing was the Revised NWT release. I was already distrustful of the GB at that point. So I began comparing a number of translations, and once again saw manipulation and dishonesty.
My trust in the org was shattered and I doubt there would be much to restore it for me.
And seeing Lett and Morris in action has also been enlightening 🙄

Vin Toole and G. Jackson were caught lying under oath at the A.R.C.
What's the A.R.C. and what are the related issues? (Who's Vin Toole?)
