by WildeLover in

http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/is-watchtower-imploding-10-reasons-why-the-end-could-be-nigh.

i dont know how to hyperlink the link above,.

Cedar's makes some very good points. It would be nice to see the org. Go away completely. However, to many folks are in to deep and to invested to give up hope now!

I am hoping for 50 to 60% reduction worldwide. Of course when the numbers start to slip...the WT will spin or stop sharing the data.

I believe allowing Internet access to the rank and file...is coming back to bite them? All the little old sisters now have a tablet. People are finding the "bad" websites and seeing the negative news articles. They are active JW's, they have to snoop! Now they can do it in private on their PC, tablet or smart phone.

I believe the zone meeting rant from Tony Morris did a lot of damage. It exposed the GB as man made rule makers to 1.1 million publishers in 1 weekend. The GB really blew the chance to have a Historic event. Instead the only memories? 1 older out of touch leader, worried about Tight pants. Really?

Demoted from elder to MS, anybody ever heard of this?

by Naoscillator in

so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.

only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.

he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.

The ironic thing is uncaring CO's are removing uncaring Elders. Hmmm!!!

Good to hear he escaped! Sometimes all it takes is something pivotal that happens directly to YOU. The lack of love and concern for someone can shake a person to the core.

Hopefully, this will be enough to get this young man out of this cult. It is truly sad how they treat others. I hope he is ok.

They don't care about anyone but themselves.

New letter, re: Fully Utilizing Kingdom Hall Auditoriums

let the merging begin!!!.

to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territory.

re: fully utilizing kingdom hall auditoriums.

ToesUp

splash - Imagine how far some, who live on the furthest edge of the territory will now have to travel to get to a kingdom hall, maybe having to drive past where the old hall used to be

I wonder if they will ever eliminate the mid-week meeting due to the "not having enough auditoriums" reason?

Will they further promote jw-tv to include the mid-week program? If you are too old or have a special needs (i.e. no gas money, no ride, sick, etc.). Jehovah has authorized the following spiritual provision:

We now have the mid-week meeting available on JW.TV for your convenience. When you click on the video, a pop up box will state: Have you been cleared by your local elders to miss the spiritual food in person? Have you been approved for on-line meeting attendance?

Please note the donate buttons at the top, bottom and both sides of your screen.

So, is this letter only for the elders? Not to be read to the congregation?

They call this the bait and switch. They got all the KH funds to build new KH's . BS!! Now they have all your money and will be merging congregations. I believe the decline in attendance is beginning to have an impact. Yippie!!!
