This is unbelievable -- the WT cult not only fleeces members but borrows funds and refuses to pay back. This needs to be broadcasted. Who protects the people from these money-laundering religions!

Prediction: no more changes for a long while
by slimboyfat ini’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.
so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.
maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

If the dropped flies/debts are piling up they can't hold off long throwing out more treats to the lock steppers/social members.

no-zombie - I appreciate/LUV your prognostications (and others) re/the sect's collapse! It's hard to imagine and I'm reluctant to get too excited.
JW Gonebad - they've had one great run at opportunity and hope that window is closing. Good to hear JWs are enjoying freedom of speech and PIMO -- must be interesting observing. Enjoy the updates and hope the positives continue. "Dropping like flies" -- fantastic.

But, whether it will deep enough or quick enough to do any good ... is another thing entirely.
no-zombie -- they've strategic plan in order -- lots of tricks in the bag while in the examination process of WT realities (financials, resources, strengths/weaknesses) as they march along the future pyramid plan. Professionals at the helm while the GB Goon Squad encourage the adherents and toss out a treat or two. Hard to imagine them failing but corporations do at times.

They're obviously not worried enough or testing the waters of the recent relaxed cold-calling dress/grooming code (sales calls/meetings) before they throw out any additional perks. It would take an insurmountable number of adherents walking away for any positive change.
I can't imagine this country caring one iota whether the WT is false doctrine -- courts don't want to mess in that arena thus WT skates.

Thank you, Atlantis.
Skimmed couple lines and they're pushing door to door stating that's where the action is for Bible studies.

Thoughts on Likely Upcoming Changes in the Org.
by Phizzy ini am thinking that the "ten year plan" that some have spoken of is the most likely scenario.
the org.
has to both attract new members and retain as many existing ones as possible.. so i think they will let the recent changes "bed in" for a while, maybe a year ?

I can't imagine why anyone would be there in the first place but why leave now with positive, mainstream, changes, on the horizon. Money answereth all things -- MO to retain adherents maybe get lucky pick up some disfellowshipped/disillusioned saps so why leave now -- it's a social club plus they feel protected and serving creator at the same time. They can't rely on the oldies -- they'll soon be on other side of dirt and already have their estate plans in the vault.

SceVie -- I must see this. Love San Luis Obispo and Sequoia close to Fresno. The San Andreas Fault is a serious one -- flying over area checking out is interesting and commercial pilots sometimes point out. Quakes while skiing at beautiful Mammoth near the Fault (or sleeping😳 with bedroom furniture being moved and unreal loud sounds of the quake) is an experience unlike what I recall growing up in Cali.

New light on shunning?
by Mikejw inone theory why tony was booted out was because he was a stickler for not changing the shunning doctrine.
he actually said the words we will never ever change it.. they are slowly deleting all of tony’s videos and now losing court cases and losing government hand outs in places like norway.. it’s looking very likely they will release new light on shunning policy after losing this latest one in norway.. .
what are the odds they coincidentally get new light from jehovah and lighten up their shunning policy ?.

I'm so sorry, Always Busy, and agree with you re/the shunning. There's some evil, envious, miserable, people, and the shunning gives them an excuse to act like social misfits. Many have no social skills to begin with and once they're part of the Watchtower it's sealed. Watchtower has done a good job of showing the world what a loser religion it is -- many know about this cult-shunning factor and would never set foot in a bunker/hall.
So sorry Sea B -- JWs (WT) are ruthless and beyond hope. The religion would never be one of respect - I had many elderly women yrs. ago asking me about the ole fraud, charlatan, Russell, and it's horrible reputation.
