As for the CLAM, there is material, but I would not call it "studying", it is all presented for us to parrot.
Your right, thats MUCH different than the wt study has been for the past 50 years. What was i thinking...

(How) Will The Slow and Subtle WT Internal Shift Affect Us?
by Solzhenitsyn inas a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.
the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.
the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.

But I just don’t think JWs without books makes any sense. It won’t fly. Publishing and studying texts is essentially what it is to be a JW. It’s like trying to have a bat without wings.
Lol and we have now have a collapse thread! Been kind quiet recently, im glad all is well in collpase land, slim one.
I agree with you, in principle, on the “writing and studying are fundamental to the jw experience”. Where i see a flaw, and i hesitate to point this out, oh slim one, is that they still write. Its all online my friend. They even still publish physical items, i smaller quanties.
What we are witnessing is transformation. They are still growing. Thats the opposite of collapse.
Words matter.

Very interesting dreary... it gives some needed context. If brooklyn isnt allowed to send money then the letter makes a lot more sense

In search of custody hearing advice ...
by dubstepped ini don't have kids, but i recently found that someone with kids that lives in my town is also an ex-jw.
she just happened to post on an apostafest thread on facebook for an event that i attended, saw that we lived in the same place, and i met her for the first time tonight.
pretty cool.. she has a 14 year old boy that is super smart and very articulate.

On the freedom of religion aspect, point out that baptised jw’s face sanctions if they want to change religion.

District Assemblies now being held at Circuit Assembly locations?
by ShirleyW ini haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.
i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.
why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.

J.W.Sisters are not recognized as part of the 144000 Anointed class by the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses and never have been.
by smiddy3 inrev.14: 1-6 describes the 144000 as males who do not defile themselves with women and are classed as virgins.?.
how does the governing body of j.w.`s explain that a man having a sexual relationship with a woman defiles a man?.
isn`t this or shouldn`t this be an affront to women who are jehovah`s witnesses ?

I don`t believe the G.B.of Jehovah`s witnesses recognizes Sisters/women in the organization as being part of the 144000 mentioned in Rev.14.: 1-6
come on man. This is text book fake news. Not only have they never said what your thread asserts, they say the exact opposite.
Lets stick to the dumbassery they actually commit and not make things up based on what you want them to have said.
If you want an issue of sexism you can just simply point out the fact that women are forbidden from having leadership roles, so much so they have wear a head covering (shades of sharia) if they happen to find themselves in a mans job when no men are around.
