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... -

Cedars leaked letter requested to be taken down by WTBTS
by umbertoecho ini don't know if this is already posted so sorry people if it is.
cedars site has had a request to take down the leaked letter regarding changes to the theocratic ministry school and other issues.. the reason given by wt is that it is a "copyright" issue.
of course this validates the letters authenticity even more.. have a good day or night people.

How ironic that someone decries wasting hours on this site as he/she wastes hours on this site decrying it..... -

In view of the dire straits of the JW org, what now?
by Half banana into use a metaphor; any tower built on insufficient foundations will sooner or later fall..
the origin of the watchtower organisation was in the announcement of ct russells pet theory, formed from adventism that christ had arrived in the heavens in 1874. within a biblical forty years i.e.1914, gods enemies he said, would be destroyed and peace would pervade the earth.
he was completely wrong.. the watchtower magazine however by this time had a large readership and trundled on after it was commandeered by rutherford who nourished its doomsday scam.

So what now....? Well i dont know about you but im getting ready to head to work. Utilities dont install themselves...
oh wait, you meant the for the cult...? That actually dosent change my answer. The reality is nothing is really changing. The cult will always have followers. Thats why they are cults and not "mainstream " religions.
They will still have meetings. They will still have people willing to knock on doors and stand in front of carts and write letters to people who just a loved one. They will still have sycophants who are willing to believe every word written by the org is "truth".
and im still going to work. Cults go on and so do our lives :)

Had you thought of feeling sorry for the G.B?
by The Rebel ini only bring this to the board, because a friend of mine once said he felt sorry for the footballers who made so much money.
that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.
there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.

Hmmmm.... Im personally still not on board. In some respect yes i wish i could love all people in the sense that i wish all people were good and loveable. However i have lived long enough to learn that some people are not worthy of love or respect as such, but i still agree that the particular people in the OP, the GB, do not rise to my personal threshold of needing to hate them. -

Fair enough rebel, but your OP didnt come across that way. I agree and i also do not waste time hating them but i for damn sure absolutely do not feel one ounce of pity for them. Not hating them is for me and i chose that for me, for my own personal zen. There is no basis for pitty. -

The more i think about it the dumber the op is.... Unless you can offer some reasonable premise for pittying the most powerful people in the cult i vote you be banned from starting new threads for the rest of the day. -

Hell. Fu****ing. No.
THEY control the org and everything jw's world wide believe. They are ultimately responsible. By their own standard, "those to whom much is given, much is demanded".
