Interesting OP. I have definitly been hearing rumblings of this at the Kingdom Hall. I am very anxious to hear what is said at the annual meeting and branch visit this year.

JW.org to be regarded as fulfillment of the signs of the last days.
by jwfacts ini struggled as a jw to accept that the good news of the kingdom was ever going to be preached in all the inhabited world by jws, as there were many parts of the world with few to no jws.
there are not enough to cover the 3 billion plus people in asia to allow everyone to get a chance to hear the message.
it also was offensive to me that jehovah would kill those billions that had never had a chance to accept the watchtower message.

How have you changed since finding TTATT ?
by Phizzy inon coftys thread about his former pastor trying to re-convert him, which is very long but a tremendous discussion of the problem of evil, a poster, sunny23, wrote :.
" having been 7 months since i first posted on the first page of this topic i have just read those posts and acknowledged a huge transfromation in myself for the better."..
i was only thinking the other day how, as i discovered this site and ttatt, i really changed as a person in so many ways, and i think mainly for the better.. i have been "born again" !!.

There is no doubt that learning TTATT had a profound effect on me. It's been about 8 months for me. I feel more empathy for people (Jws and non). I also think that I appreciate kind deeds done for me more. I'm still physically in so I am sure that more drastic changes are in store after I am totally out.
Or if you believe my wife then I have just had some sort of a nervous breakdown.

Hardtobeme.
Thanks for posting the story. I have no issue with someone posting something interesting jw related that they found online. I don't think that you have to stand behind the article in order to ask a question about it. I don't think the article is legit but definitely interesting.

Gingerbread. Thanks for the link. I'm not sure if that's the same one or not. Regardless that was interesting to check out.
In my area I have seen a recent trend towards home schooling. hopefully it doesnt get more traction.

They have a much better chance at keeping their kids in the Borg if they homeschool.

I have seen no backlash. I think most witnesses are loving something new. Just look at all of the paraphernalia. It's insane.

Recently I had a conversation with a close witness friend. I have always viewed him as moderate. Not full j-dub nut bag witness style. Because of this I was shocked when he told me that they are starting to home school theit kids this year. It is a program designed by a witness. She incorporates a lot of the jw.org content into the curriculum. This is a decision that I can't respect.
even when I was fully indoctrinated I always thought home schooling was a bad decision for witnesses. The kids always seem socially awkward as they get older.

Any Educated Guesses...........??
by sparky1 ina friend of mine is trying the 'slow fade' like i did.
he is a third generation witness and comes from a prominent family in his circuit.
his uncle stepped down as an elder because he had doubts and could not serve anymore (although for now he remains a witness in good standing).

Looking at my hall and the surrounding ones I would guess that in the U.S about 20 -30 percent were around pre 1975. Most of these were born in baby boomers. most are in there 60s now. I would guess that in other countries the percentage would be much lower. In my area the majority of the current elders would be part of the pre 1975 group.

What is this new jw.org religion?
by EndofMysteries ini recently was on a trip in central america.
any kingdomhall i passed by had jw.org banners or scribble that went over what used to say kingdomhall.
in a flea market, and other business areas, i saw the infamous literature cart out.

The inside of the religion is still the same ol same ol. They are trying to polish it up to appear different but on the inside nothing much has changed. it's still the same nasty cult that it was 10 years ago. The harmful blood and shunning policies are still rock solid among the R&F
