Im sure the OP meant a change in WT doctrine, not an actual mass conversion. The answer to which is no. The teaching of the cramped and narrow road wont allow them to suggest a mass conversion nor would the 'us against the world' cult mentality.

Mass conversion going to take place?
by apocalypse inthe watchtower has always held that "we are not expecting a mass conversion of people" before the end.
w09 1/15.. in proclaiming a "world without war soon" the watchtower has answered the question "will it come through a mass conversion of people to the true religion?
" with the answer "no.

Love is like God.
by The Rebel inneither, can be proven only to the believer can they exist.
we could therefore say that a persons feelings on god and love are simply chemical reactions produced by the brain.
however what i find interesting is that if a certain part of a persons brain gets damaged their personalities and emotions can radically change.. the rebel..

"Sabin: Those words were beautiful. True, scientists can tell us the "how", but not the "why". My children are crying becase they desparately want me to love them. I just don't have the time to mess with them. Oh, I forgot, I will just take them to the lab and have them give my children a dose of those "love" chemicals in the syringe. Just saying..."
you are actually making the proper point, albiet sarcastically and by mistake. You can take a child to the lab and give him or her the proper chemicals to feel exactly what ylu describe as love. It would be exactly as satisfying and exactly as enjoyable. Orgasiums can be created with great intensity with stimulation to the proper part of the brain....My point being, the feelings we describe as love or religious feeling or anyother are very much the result of chemicals in our bodies. They can in fact be duplicated by synthetic substances, more than one way to skin a cat as it were. Id rather my kids feel love from me than from a bottle, id rather screw a a real woman than have my brain stimulated amd id rather worship Thor than the god of the bible.
Taking your personal chemical reactions and citing them as proof of god is proof of nothing more than a religious feeling shared by all mammals accross a variety of experiances that dont share a common theme. Its not god. Its biology.

"Morpheus, if you go through life looking at everything through your own eye`s & never through the eye`s of a child, it is because you have neglected to humble yourself, & therefore you never see the wonder or beauty around you & you never learn the things that only a child can teach."
how very arrogant of you to assume im not humble or do not see the wonder in the world around me

"Only that music is a very emotional exsperience such is love and such is God and each produces chemical reactions on the brain."
interesting observation given that music can move people to do irrational things..... Its almost as if belief in god is...well....irational and based on emotion, not reason....hmmmmm

Im not one to mock the innocence of a child but your analysis of her answer leaves much to be desired. Its the lack of understanding of a young one that leads them to surmise it's a magic sky daddy that makes some seeds cucumbers and some seeds grass. The real tragedy is you cite the actual answer (dna) bit still revert to the magical sky daddy anyway. She at least has an excuse. -

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?
by LaurenM indo any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

I think thats a fair summation, simon. I suspect that, aside from the huge leak, the biggest deal is the new languge in general. Very different from normal witness speak and its causing it to be perceived as a bigger change than it really is -

Oh dear Thor.... A thread that started off so well, with a sasync summary of the bibles flood lunacy, hijacked by ridiculous hydoplate theory. The clock is now running on how long until a flat earth post shows up...
