DJS -

I believe the WT have painted themselves into a corner in so many ways.

They have been throwing resources (human and monetary) around like a stoned hip hop artist for so long and failed to notice that they are losing popularity and fans fast.

They have driven off the best of their human assets ie the thinkers, or anyone with heart, because they simply don't care about retaining good people while they have plenty of new recruits to use and throw away.

We are already seeing changes that could only be construed as swerving to avoid the approaching fiscal cliff.

Fat lady start singing your heart out.

I agree for all the reasons given in the article that the WT is faced with a decision: adapt ot die.

Reform would be the logical conclusion (put through the WT spin-cycle to emerge as nu-lite of course.)

I 'm just dying to see which way this particular cat is going to jump.

Demoted from elder to MS, anybody ever heard of this?

by Naoscillator in

so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.

only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.

he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.

Side point - do you know why so much activity and interest in the spanish community?

Just wondering.

If You Continue to do Bad, Sooner or Later You Will Get Caught.

by John Aquila in

when one person finally spoke out that she was raped by cosby, no one believed it.

then another person came out and the line started getting drawn in the sand.

you now had two groups of people.

Just like the women in the Cosby case, the more people that come out and tell there JW horror stories and experiences of borg life the bigger this snowball will become.

There is no statute of limitations on the pain of having being a JW.

A Tired Child is Better than a Dead Child

by snugglebunny in

incredibly, fred franz once announced at a district convention: "yesterday a sister approached me and said, brother franz, why do we have to keep our children up so late just so they can attend the meetings?

i responded sister ***, would you rather have a tired child or a dead child?".

*cue rapturous applause*.

sparrowdown

Firstly those kids in the photo are obviously sleeping off an all night bourbon bender (the stress of having to sit through a convention.)

Secondly, I would like to say that a rested, educated, safe from pedophiles child is better than a brain dead child of a cult!!

What is the "sign" of "Christ's Invisible Presence?"

by Fisherman in

the wts teaches, that from 1914 onward, a sign has been evident, which is proof of god's kingdom.

jw profess to see that sign.

a "sign" means evidence from god.

sparrowdown

I have seen plenty of "signs" as to the WT's true character.

That's why I Ieft, wouldn't want to be standing too close once the lightening bolts from heaven start flying.

The sort of shock one feels at being treated so outrageously by the "brothers" who you have dedicated your life to could be compared to a fratricide of sorts. "How can this happen in God's organization" is a common and understandable reaction.
