Simon is right, there is NO WAR. If you are living in a world where you think you are at war with the organization, do yourself a favor and STOP. The organization has 8 million followers, pays no taxes, and gets free money. YOU CAN'T STOP THAT. Look at catholocism, pedophilia was and probably is rampant and it has been made clear the higher ups covered it up for years, yet catholocism is still alive and well. This forum and apostates should just be here to help people leaving and those that have left. There is no war to be won, the organization is not going anywhere. The organization is going to be able to hang their hats on this web site for years to come. JWs are just now starting to wear jw.org pins around to meetings, on the platform and so on. The fever is actually just catching on. The org has tons of videos and things to put up that will keep the fever alive for a very long time. You only lost a war or got slapped in the face if you truly believe you are in some sort of battle with the organization. A JW will only listen to you when they question things themselves first, not any of us sneaking in some information to them.

GB bitch-slap all apostates with TV.JW.ORG
by gopher123 inwith the launch of tv.jw.org, doesn't this mean that the apostates have won the battles, but finally lost the war?
ezekiel 38 states that in the time of the end, god's people would be prospering with "silver & gold.".
"kiss da rings" bitch!!!.

How to tell how effective JW.TV will be
by bohm inhere is a simple and obvious way to tell how effective jw.tv is going to be:.
in the past, how effective has religious tv been for you?
has watching religious tv made by moonies, evangelists, mormons or scientologists made you seriously reflect on spirituality?

Only a slap in the face to apostates who believe the organization is dying. It's thriving and will keep going long past any of us are alive. Realizing that it really means nothing except keeping JWs excited.

I think the tv is already effective. It's not about conversions, it's not about donations. It's about the organization advancing due to jehovahs blessing and convincing the current jws of that. Someone already posted his but the great trib being right around the corner has lost its appeal for now. They have realized that changing things and introducing new things creates the same buzz and excitement as predicting a year for the end. the tv has already worked. They will just keep introducing new things and changes as long as it creates excitement. Right now they have JWs in the Palms of their hands.

Implications of Dropping "Types/Anti-Types"
by Antioch ini've seen this part of the agm folded in with other topics and poked around, but no really critical discussion of the implications.. .
the hermenuetics of the type/anti-type practice was a big deal to me in realizing the tatt.
i searched high and low for a rational basis for concluding that god was communicating in a type/anti-type format that wasn't special pleading and circular.

Yeah in their new bible. They have covered their bases I think pertaining to that. As far as the generations teaching, ray franz wrote crisis of conscience in 1983 and predicted they would have to change it. I can't imagine he was the only one to realize that On the GB.

Is This ALL the Society Meant By Big Stuff Coming?
by millie210 inok, internet tv, some new songs and updates on a couple obscure prophecies no one cares about.... .
i for one was so disappointed at the smallness of it.
i guess i bought the hype that when they said "big", they meant it.. .

@greatteacher I believe they anticipated that already by changing Matthew 24:46 from "arriving" to "coming". In doing so it automatically creates an appointment and a future second coming from the appointment.

Has anyone else heard this about the GB??
by FeelingFree inok so me and my husband were talking to his mum again about why we are no longer going to meetings and got into another pointless discussion where she feels he needs to talk to an elder about his issue's blah, blah, blah... round and round it went...... the thing i wanted to ask was if anybody had heard that there wont be any gb after these one's die??
this is something she mentioned today and we have never heard of this ever.
so it means no more will be appointed and they will just die off!

JWs will come up with anything to try and reason why they are so close to an end. This probably comes from people thinking there will be no more anointed to take over or the overlapping generation teaching means it must come before this GB dies. There will ALWAYS be people who claim to be anointed and there will ALWAYS be a governing body.
