No Reason For JWs To Go To The MIdweek Meeting (CLAM)
by JW_Rogue ineverything that is done at the midweek meeting can now be done at home.
the videos are online, the first talk is scripted, the bible highlights are scripted.
you could get the same experience by just reading and watching the material from your tablet.

Watchtower Bible & Tract Society: Pretending to Be Alive?
by David_Jay inaccording to market analysis, the e-book market has taken a dip in 2015. because companies that publish e-books can (and do) monitor the use of the e-books materials they release, not only their sales but the individual e-book’s use gets tracked.
companies like amazon and kobo as well as nielsen book research in the uk all report that while the format remains popular, sales have dipped more than a quarter last year in some places like britain, and that hard copies of books still are preferred.. amazon (u.s.a.) sales figures give an example of how things are working on the world scene.
for instance non-fiction hard copy printed books sales (including religion) made up a healthy 42% of their purchased books in 2015. in the same category, however, e-books made up only 6% of the sales.. kobo monitored its e-book sales and found that 60% of the electronic versions never even got opened.

"Confidentiality" of Elders!
by stuckinarut2 insomething struck me the other day.. elders are told to maintain confidentiality with regard to the details of judicial cases or congregation "discipline" in an attempt to dignify individuals etc.. this is even the case for known child abusers!.
yet, if they suspect someone of being an "apostate", for instance being a member on this forum, they will spread such information far and wide, through the witness "grape vine" to congregations miles away (or even in other countries).
so, does that mean they place more importance on "apostasy" rather than child abuse?.

The two things go hand in hand.
Child abuse victims that come forward are essentially whistle blowers, just like apostates that tell their story are whistle blowers. Whistle blowers are bad for business and so demonizing whistleblowers is a time honoured tradition anongst corupt organizations and corporations.

Exactly WT is a business and businesses need business plans. Big businesses, like WT need even bigger plans. The whole idea that they sit around waitng for holy spirit inspired direction to tell them what to do is ludicrous.
You cannot rebrand a massive religion like WT in a major way without it being in the pipeline for years.

SBF - Agreed, I reckon something has happened to speed up their timeline and cause them to cancel projects.
Although, sudden cancellations does add to the illusion of urgency. Forgive me, I see conspiracy in everything WT does.

The change to digital books and website was planned, so couldn't a reduction in KHs and bethel lay-offs be planned as well, since they wouldn't need as many anymore.

I'm sure there is method to the WT's madness. I see it as them as reducing as much of their physical presence as they can as quickly as they can without spooking too many of the sheeple, cept I think it's spooking more than a few.
IOW I think everything that WT is doing is deliberate, was planned quite some time ago and has a purpose, we just don't know what that real purpose is yet. Though I suspect it has something to do with securing as much of their liquidated assets as possible and a "bunker."
In reality they couldn't give a flying fig about the so-called "true knowledge."

Introduction - Any Believers?
by Believer ini’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.
i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.
i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.

Hello Believer, there are a few here who have a belief in God and who are happy to talk about it. But, mostly I get the impression there is a mixed bag.
You got people who still believe in the JW God, you got people who believe there is a creator but not necessarily the one JWs have invented, people who turned to Jesus, people who are unsure and people who prefer knowing to believing.
I also get the feeling there may be a few who are closet believers in God .......
and you probably got a few Beliebers also.
