contemplating the watchtowers attempt at washing away 100 years of cult stink, i had another thought.
the wbt$ could be transitioning from a growth model to a retention model, particularly in 1st world nations.
the signs as i see them are:.
Oppostate - All they'll be left is with followers who can't think for themselves and don't live successful lives and are uncomfortably stuck in low paying jobs. These folks may be easier to control, but they require more maintenance, more attention, more commendation, more guiding, more counselling and even more reprimanding, The final outcome may likely be toxic and untenable for the WTS.
It will be untenable. Social evolution is killing them slowly.
last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.
our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.
me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.
Great thread.
If Christians knew the bible they would either stop believing or double down. That is the nature of cognitive dissonance. It is not just for JWs...
Btw, don't ever tell a person under CD that are are experiencing it...It will really piss them off, if they understand what it is!
Viv, I am glad I am with you on this subject...I know I would not want to debate you!

Good OP. I agree with 100% on a high level.

one or two of you have noticed that i use derogatory terms when talking about matters religion.
i offer no apology.
you do, however, deserve an explanation.. my father, bless him and now dead, was a survivor of belsen, the german concentration camp.
You don't know when to quit...
You call names, spread hatred, and again, piss off atheists and theists.
One last time...GET LOST!!!
this may have been posted before.
however, if you want to read the article about jw shunning and denial of this practice, then have a read.
there is mention of redefining "charity" in terms of how that operates.. http://www.smh.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html.
Good article. I hope Australia is successful in the removal of tax-exempt status for the WT. This is the type of thing that will cause a domino effect. Not likely to happen in the USA first, (due to a dogged misrepresentation of our constitution by a certain political party), however a more progressive country such as Australia can be successful at getting things started.

One more point...I was spot on, (as was she), with my comment to Sparrowdown. You are here to make trouble, and that is it. She is just a lot nicer about it than I am.
Most people here are ex-JWs, and probably most are ex-Xitans. You have proven you have no reason to be here other than troll so fuck off.

d4g's post is a typical religtard ploy from a typical religtard.
Read my posts. I am an atheist. Either you cannot read or are very, very slow...
Get lost fucking troll. You manage to piss off theists and atheists alike with your bullshit.

Sparrowdown -
When you first came to this site and explained the definition of your user name I wondered if you thought we were all fools worthy of study?
True to form, you nailed it.
Not really sure why else a never been a JW would care to be here.
