What changes would WT/JW have to make for you to return? (page 2)

Let me write the watchtower mag cover to cover,and a private suite at patterson my own staff too.

Hold a nationally televised press conference with all governing body members present to apologize for abuses, announce reforms and financial compensation for victims of abuse. After the announcement, while still on national television, governing body members should douse themselves with gasoline and set themselves ablaze.

I would be willing to contribute towards the cost of the gasoline.

There are few types of groups that make such lofty claims and yet disappoint so deeply as organized religion. (This is not to discount the good social work that some faith-based groups perform. The disappointment comes in the form of promises of happiness, life eternal, etc. which turns out all to be guesswork anyhow.)

The JW's would still be an organized religion, no matter how many "reforms" they would make. They would always have the power to pull back their so-called reforms. I don't trust their leadership.

The WTS has said that this world can't be reformed; that it would be like painting a condemned building. I feel the same way about the WTS.

Jehovah does not propose to reform the irreformable, and neither do his witnesses. Jehovah is not attempting to straighten out this crooked and perverse generation, and neither are his witnesses. This old system is condemned by God and doomed to complete destruction

Obviously, something has to change. Actually a change is needed in the entire system of things now operating on earth. How great a change? Is it enough just to reform the system in certain aspects, making personnel and administration changes, or changes in certain laws?

No, what is really needed is a replacement of the entire present system with a new system established on a new foundation. We have seen all kinds of reforms, personnel and administration changes, new legislation, in country after country. But, in spite of these, corruption keeps cropping up in high levels of government. And where sincere individuals try to promote justice, often they find their efforts blocked by selfish interests.

The question, to me, is very moot. Any changes made would have to be drastic and would thus cause people to leave in droves. More subtlety would be necessary and with the way things are going, they would eventually dry up before the changes would be enough. And I would most certainly be long dead by then.

Keep to the scriptures would be a good start. Mke the reinstatement policy scriptural for a start - if you do not know what I mean read the parable of the prodigal son and then look at the WTBTS procedure.
