  org is dying

  i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

  i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

  the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

  Look for a little lighted button near the touchpad. There sometimes is an on/off switch.

  i have noticed a few comments lately about worldly pr firms and marketing companies being used by the wt.. does anyone have any information confirming this to be the case?.

  for many jw's this would be borderline scandelous considering the venom constantly spewed about satan's world.. if i missed any threads about this topic, please give a link.. thanks for any input.. -te.

  As I posted in the thread that Londo referenced above, I have solid info that the financial changes are internal:

  There's a 5 man committee that the borg flys from different bethels in different countries a few times a year and they are the ones behind the financial changes and they have the GB's ear. The idea about the new Kingdom Hall construction funding came from this committee. The main accounting office in Brooklyn has had some lazy habits develop over the years that the GB got wind of, and this was one of several reasons they formed this committee. None of the GB are on this committee.

  Now, I can't speak to the other changes but financial/donation arrangement changes there you go.

  *facepalm* don't put words in my mouth this sounds like a verbal circle jerk which I don't have any desire to be part of.

  If you want to believe something that makes you feel good and doesn't hurt anyone, then by all means knock yourself out. But don't try to enforce those fantstictical(often ridiculous) beliefs on others. If you want to follow a teaching that gives your life meaning, whatever.

  We should be making important decisions in life and as a society only based on things we can prove to be true.

  Also, love how they gotta keep telling themselves that they "Have the Troof" with articles like:

  Are You Convinced That You Have the Truth? Why?

  Some real winners here:

  Is it wrong to desire privileges in the congregation? Not at all. According to 1 Timothy 3:1 , “if a man is reaching out to be an overseer, he is desirous of a fine work.” Many Christian men apply that encouragement and make spiritual progress to qualify for privileges in the congregation.

  And if your kids have doubts, it's because they are lonely losers with no self esteem(wonderwhy???):

  5 In the meantime, though, what if your children begin to express doubts? How can you shepherd them and help them to see that serving Jehovah really is the best way of life and will contribute to their lasting happiness? Try to determine the underlying cause of their doubts. For example, does your son really disagree with Bible teachings, or does he just lack the confidence needed to defend them in front of his peers? Does your daughter really have an issue with the wisdom of God’s standards, or does she just feel lonely or excluded by others?
