I think it's too unstructured much like the bookstudies used to be. The GB will cancel it if they think it is causing too much free speech and openness.

Welcome to the forum Tony. I'm glad you have had a chance to do research and make your mind up for yourself. I have known others who did what it took to get reinstated before doing the fade away. It's probably not too easy but you know that by now. Just keep moving forward. I hope you meet some on here from your area. Maybe you can plan a exjw meetup. -

Mays JW TV Broadcast/Your feedback is appreciated
by ToesUp ini have a pretty good intuition but i have to admit i am going back and forth on the jw tv may broadcast.
i keep asking myself are they really in financial trouble (wishful thinking) or are they just grabbing for more money?.
i always appreciate reading everyone's thoughts and ideas on here.. let me know what you think.

Maybe they've done an internal estimate on potential lawsuit payouts and realized they needed more money. -

GB’s spring cleaning helps faders
by wheelwithinwheel inthe gbs 2015 doctrinal spring cleaning is a gift to all faders.
when we were fading they were grappling with the dying generation.
their ensuing explanations made our diminishing meeting attendance and service easily explainable.

Stress and depression seem to be the only acceptable reasons that elders typically accept. -

My guess is that since publishers didn't see those parts of the letter that you mention that maybe the broadcast will wake up some elders... -

I want to carry the microphones"
by stillin inthis was the reason that our 12 year old son gave us for wanting to be baptized.
my wife and i actually agreed that he should wait a little longer, thank god!
by the time he was 13 he was running wild.

I faded and my kids are free. I am doing all I can to make sure they stay that way.
Stillin, I really feel for your situation. Family issues are really hard to deal with.
Your wife puts the WTS ahead of you and the kids. You've been around long enough to know that.
In my opinion you should make sure you put your kids and your relationship to them ahead of the WTS. If that means going against your wife so be it just don't flaunt it in her face.
I can't wait to celebrate Christmas and other holidays with my kids and grandkids.
I know it's easy to talk from the sidelines but like you I am living this every day.

Why did everyone dress like it was the 1950s and is it me or was 99.99% of everyone in the video supposed to be a white person?
For me it's not that the video was wrong but I cannot believe they would show this at a meeting. The witnesses from the 1940s and 1950s must be rolling over in their graves. Can you imagine what Fred Franz or Knorr would say about this stuff?
