Correction: what you see is definitely NOT all there is with this religion.

Theocratic School changes a distraction from the problems?
by thedepressedsoul ini find the timing of the new mid week meeting rather strange.
we all know jw's love their carrot on the stick, they salivate over speculating what the new releases will be at the convention.
with all these problems going on, layoffs, child abuse, money issues, building halts etc... what better way to have your average jw ignore it than to completely change up the meeting.

Any thoughts on the real reasons for droppng the 'school"
by sparrowdown inmy thoughts are.
1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.
i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??

I see the elders becoming nothing more than glorified ushers at the GBTV show.
And the MS's like an IT department. Or possibly the other way round, but the MSs are usually younger and have more computer skills.
Either way the info will increasingly continue to come from the big giant heads on a screen.

Nothing happens overnight with this org.
These kinds of changes are likely planned at the very least a couple of years in advance. What you see is definitely all there is with this religion and where it's all leading has yet to be revealed. IMO

I'd say you are spot on with qualified brothers being thin on the ground LisaRose. The School Overseer was one of the most loathed assignments to draw the short straw on I gather from the harried sighs of the brothers who spent before and after meetings chasing down the students and trying to find last minute replacements for the cancellations.
The novelty of the new meeting will wear off pretty quick too I expect, because as you say just rearranging the deck chairs.....

The bridge burning has begun.
by sparrowdown ini was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....
i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..
so i texted her back immediately with fu..

Stillin - the meeting itself isn't going anywhere but it won't called the TMS anymore and will be unrecognizable as the school we all are familiar with. There has been a letter leaked clearly outlining these changes.
