Has there been some foreshadowing of consolidation of halls since they seem to be ramping up their multimedia capabilities?

Seems many think a sale of the KHs which with the price of real estate makes good fiscal sense. You think a consolidation of many congregations in fewer KHs or better online capabilities and continuing more virtual which could make the message even more consistent across the rank and file.

Mind Numbing

by FedUpJW in

sending out cc: bulk emails with cut and paste government programs to "lovingly" help the "friends".

My wife had been inactive for close to two years but the congregation has definitely gotten her to at least listen to the meetings with the doom and gloom. She won’t outright say it but she sure eludes to this being the beginning of the end.

Was interesting a couple of weeks ago she was talking about how Sylvia Browne was taken over by spirits or something like that due to her prediction of the pandemic but when she touted the prediction from Awake and I asked why that was different from Ms. Browne she had no answer.

Does any other denomination change Doctrines as often as JW's?

by TerryWalstrom in

would i err in stating most religions and denominations have set doctrines?and yet, the watchtower's version/rendition of christianity is riven with contradictions which stem from changing predictions, policies, doctrines, and interpretations seemingly adrift from foundation or principle.wouldn't you think the constant upheaval, sifting, churn, and reorganization bespeaks whim, mood, uncertainty, and wilful speculation more than divine guidance?there's something endemically jittery and insecure about this religion which i would opine has more than a little to do with unstable mental affect than mere whimsy.what's your take on this?.

Amazes me that they always say there teachings are directly from the bible, but then the teachings are always changing, though they say the bible is without error.

Watchtower’s 53 Date Failures -- Prophetic Declarations Quietly Abandoned

by FatFreek 2005 in

below is a paste of the front of my recent essay.

ask most jws today and they'll tell you that, yes, watchtower has made a few mistakes -- that there are a couple date failures -- 1925 -- and maybe another one they can't even remember.. lest they forget, the following should jog their collective memories as to how egregious watchtower has been in their obsession with date predictions (oh, but we don't make predictions, they may tell you) over the 138 years of watchtower history.. len miller.
