    What will happen to JW Organization
    May be it will disappear.
    They will become more worldly. Or, just the opposite..
    They will become closer to the world and sectic.
    I think it could happen all this and nothing of this at all.
    They are noticing things are getting worser and worser, specially in regard of Preaching Hours, Growth and Meeting attendance. They are suffering the unmasking of the tales and lies he had taught as facts.But…
    I believe they won’t give up so easy. They will fight against the facts in many ways:
    Closer Reclusion of the Brothers in the Organizations and themselfs.
    Return to the power of the contrast between godly and worldy people: we are so strictly that we must be the God’s People.Look how right and pure we are.
    And I think they will find something spectacular and amazing to feed the trust of the brothers in the
    Borg. JW have an expertise in the use of the power of exagerated and misguided expectations.
    It has made they become embarrased a lot of times, but, in the other side, they could use the efect of
    The expectation to switch on colours lights to call attention to them again.
    Recycled articles, boring talkings in meetings and conventions are not precisely the kind of things
    They need to grow again. I think the GB are looking this and are confused about the matter.
    They lack a new Frederick Franz to mix some bible verses, old biblical interpretations and
    Totally out of place aplications to make the picture of the Earth Paradise shiner.
    This picture Are becoming darker as time goes by.
    Of course, this tactic just could success inside the Walls of Hypocratia. But, I think that’s what
    They want. Power and prestige over the R&F brethren, whose loyalty is seen as a confirmation
    Of Jehovah’s Blessing. In fact, is just the drama all we suffered taking place again: brainwashing and
    Twisted moral sense presented as faith and love to god.
    Finally, I think the idea they are looking will not have connections with time and dates.
    They had learned to avoid it because showed they are false prophets.
    I think the idea or change will be the kind of Jehovah is reasonable, something alike that allows the
    GB to make articles and much bla bla bla about , just filling pages and meetings with nonsenses,
    But…make the brothers feel that’s a step ahead paradise, that’s new light and an evidence
    Of Jehovah’s blessing.
    We must keep tunned.
    Love to all.
    Paradix.
    Don’t tell it to me.
    I lived it.

    1 Tim. 4:1 - In later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons.

    Be careful!
    Are the demons now teaching you?

    And C T Russell's time definitely qualifies as a "later period" compared to Paul's time, does it not?

    Paradix,

    I, too, think that as the numbers of publishers decline (and the numbers of elders stepping down increases!) the Organization will either "circle the wagons" and hunker down becoming more and more insulated OR will become more "orthodox" as they attempt to attract new members with their newfound "reasonableness."

    Which will it be? Hard to say. From other posts it is obvious that a struggle is going on at the highest levels to determine what direction the Organization will take.

    I actually feel sorry for the many who have devoted so many years of their lives to a now-sinking ship. The hull has a well-patched hole that will not withstand the tidal wave of revelations that will shortly come upon USS Watchtower. The captain and first officers will likely go down with the ship. Secondary officers may survive and live to see a lesser ship of faith built and sailing the high seas again. But those officers will direct a much less impressive navy. Like rats flee a sinking ship because it will no longer be a place of sustenance for them, a large number of present publishers will flee the USS Watchtower when it becomes clear that the food served has been rotten for many years. Yes, and when the badge of honor they once thought they wore -- identity as one of Jehovah's Witnesses -- is shown to be a stain of dishonor because of hardened hearts and misguided policies of the ruling elite.

    (who thinks Alternative should get while the getting's good ... it will help him salvage his self-respect later!)
