  Excellent analogy, I've always thought the same thing cult to go brought to you by manipulation.

  Jehovah's Witnesses May Have Peaked in Membership at 8 Million (+/-)

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't have all the details of their new "service year" numbers, but i have read enough on jwn to state my opinion pretty strongly.. memorial attendance for 2015 was down.while they kept saying they were going to build a bunch of new kingdom halls, and everybody is still in recovery from watchtower taking all the local money away, they say pretty much that there isn't enough money to build new kingdom halls.putting gb members on the videos at jw .

  org has allowed people to really put a face and personality to these guys and remove the mystery of how they should be such deeply spiritual serious men.

  instead they see silly thoughts about tight pants and, really everything that comes out of lett's mouth is delivered ultra-goofy, along with the money reports.. the gb lost credibility a little more with every new light that shone down, with the strangest one being "overlapping generation.

  Agreed nothing but contraction here on out. The internet, young people maturing faster than ever before and the already mentioned bumbling moves of the GB do not bode well. Stagnating wages and high cost of living are such that most people now make informed rather than emotional decisions before committing to anything. There is no cost benefit in joining such a demanding cult. If one were to want to find out 'What does the Bible Really teach' they can do it on their own in the comfort of their home on the computer without having to deal with any strangers or weirdo's.

  Building layoffs & JW calendar 2016 theme

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.

  all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.

  a strange correlation again.. gorby.

  What used to really get under my skin were the pictures of young shapely babes in construction outfits sporting ponytail hair styles and looking yummy. I think they do this on purpose to keep males in the org, the promise of sex and marriage for geeks even.

  Correlation decline JW numbers and JW broadcasting?

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read some impressive figures here about the decline of the jw numbers in 2015.. could there be a correlation between this decline and the start of jw broadcasting?.

  hence, that there would be an negative impact because the gb is standing so nearby, you can experience the idiot reasoning of their doctrines sitting in your own living room?.

  the lett effect?

  Last assembly I was at this summer everyone was clearly uncomfortable when Lett came on air. That and the giant screens on both sides of the stage had me running to the bathroom in a fit of panic ( an actual panic attack ) Went back for one more regular meeting after and called it quits. Was invited for a CO visit I said to myself screw it made a clean break. A cool guy elder came by once I laid it on the line he agreed with me on a couple points never heard back don't really care.

  Oh went for a med renewal this evening at practitioners ( the WT gave me high BP, was normal before the 'truth' ) and told the Doctor to annul the transfusion prohibition mention that I had asked for in my in my file years ago.

  I met a df'ed JW when we were both in our early thirties. He's born in, and all heck broke loose with him during that period. I remember him accusing me of being weird for not hitting the strip clubs.. Some people just need to be told what to do 24/7

  Make your predictions!

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more specific the better :) here are mine:.

  i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..

  I know many apostates and many others that have simply stopped going. The ones still in have too much invested, brought their whole family in or are waiting for parents to pass so as to get that nice inheritance. I know of two cases at least big $ at stake ! Money and social status talks loud.

  Is it true? Heard a rumor WT postphones Disfellowshipping until further notice!!??

  by Olivia Wilde in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.

  i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.

  has anyone else heard anything like this recently?
