Maybe the great fruit heist thing was a final act of stick it to WT rebellion. WT is known for it's petty tyranny after all. A word to the wise though.The only fruit you should leave bethel with is your spiritual fruit. The first rule of fruit club is don't talk about fruitclub.

Seems bizarre to be talking about how grown-ass, able-bodied people are "coping" with (oh the horror!) cooking their own meals and doing their own washing?

Vienne - the numbers of hours is reported amd counted just like meeting attendance.
Inactive = less overall hours reported, less meeting attendance figures, less RVs.

Thinking about the end of the Watchtower
by JeffT infirst, a word about the watchtower’s financial position: nobody (outside the watchtower organization) knows.
the wtbs is not required to disclose its finances, and doesn’t.
we can speculate, but that is all we are doing.

Strangely and sadly if WT collapsed I think many JWs would still refuse to believe that WT is anything other than poor pure persecuted Christ's brothers and continue to pray for them and live as JWs.
Those that are left with the WT security rug pulled out from under them will have to figure it out just like any of the millions of people worldwide leftover from controlling regimes that fell suddenly had to cope and figure it out.
The German people who were in support of Hilter had to figure it out. People are resilient.
That's life.Things change.

Sail away said it. No. The inactive are demonized and stigamatized enough that most JWs stay away from "weak ones" of their own accord.

How Rutherford did a backflip (flop) off the Great Pyramid
by TerryWalstrom inin 1924, judge rutherford published an article which referred to the great pyramid as "the scientific bible" and added that measurements on the grand gallery inside the great pyramid confirmed the dates 1874, 1914 and 1925.. 1925 was the famous blowout date for the return of "ancient worthies" about which the judge said, "i made an ass of myself.".
just four years later, rutherford did one of his famous about-face reversals.. whereas previously the watchtower had taught that the great pyramid was probably built by melchizedek, or shem;*.
rutherford now said the great pyramid was constructed "under the direction of satan the devil.
