Could a Coup Reform the Watchtower?

by metatron in

jw

it's interesting to speculate about the fact that legal authority may have been removed from the governing body.

with the intent of protecting them from appearing in court.

when they announced that the organization was to be led.

I can assure you that, people do get 'stuck' in the Society! Just because you've been in Bethel for decades, doesn't mean
you still believe all of it - or even any of it. But what are going to do if you leave? Say good bye to your position? your
"friends" in the "truth"? Your relatives?

metatron,

You hit the nail on the head with this point! As a former bethelite, i have seen this attitude personally. Bethel elders and wives who have been there for years couldnt imagine leaving, not because of their tremendous faith but because they have become comfortable there. You dont necessarily have to share the belief system to be at bethel...just be fed and given a roof over your head.

by truth_about_the_truth in

i hope they get rid of all those "heav'ns", "giv'n", "tho", "e'en", "vivacious", "efficacious" lyrics.

with thise lyrics you can party like it's 1899.. also, please get rid of that song that sounds like the warner bros. bugs bunny song.

truth_about_the_truth

Gosh...i cant remember the number.

Oh yeah..I remember one more that needs to be put out of its misery:

That one song where you sing the first 2 verses a usual but on the third verse there's an extra line at the end where the note keeps getting higher and higher until the whole cong. is forced to screech like wild monkeys to hit that note.

Maybe they can get brotha Prince to help them out...they need all the help they can get.

What else about the kingdom songs makes your hair stand up straight and gives you a major case of the goosebumps?

VH1 MJ program - What will be the impact?

by truth_about_the_truth in

everyone is aware of the wt difficulty in retaining their young population.

the target audience for vh1 being of that same age demographic, it seems that this could be a bigger blow to the wts than it seems to appear at the present time.

take a look at the types of ppl this will have somewhat of an impact on:.

Everyone is aware of the WT difficulty in retaining their young population.

The target audience for VH1 being of that same age demographic, it seems that this could be a bigger blow to the WTS than it seems to appear at the present time.

Take a look at the types of ppl this will have somewhat of an impact on:

- young ppl still in the org that are sitting on the fence (let's face it...they mostly are)

- the avg. non-jw young person who previously had no opinion regarding JW

- this will reinforce the viewpoint of any that already have a negative opinion of JW

Let's face it, the future growth of the org. seems pretty bleak. Where will they get their numbers? How will ppl respond at the door? I think we'll see the effect of programs like these become manifest in the yrs to come... This is a pretty big blow that has set their preaching work back big time.

What do you think? How much affect will this have?

jared,

This can be classified as a whole new topic but here goes....

I don't know how much credibility you put in non-mainstream news of current events but it looks like Revelation is being fulfilled right now as we speak.
