  surprised its creating a buzz in the jw community as it would be completely censured and classified as spiritual pornography, unless they are ignoring instructions?

  Hi Grags, another Brit here, London based, would be nice to see you stick around on here, there are many excellent members here who will be only too pleased to assist and guide you on your journey, the jw's may not seem all they are cracked out to be though.

  What the GB/Lawyers Should Be Worrying About

  perhaps this was touched on in another thread so i apologize if it was ( i don't get to read all of the posts on here all the time) .

  who leaked that october letter that was read about the midweek meeting restructuring and reduction in magazines?

  it only could've been someone fairly high up in the organization or someone in the it department that converted it to pdf format, or someone from a branch that is in charge of digital correspondence, translation, etc.

  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?

  its not beyond the realms of possibility, they haemorrhage members, and even the lunacy of their leadership might be waking up to the fact ; the more members they lose the less $$$$$$$$$$$ comes in.

  I would guarantee that out of a 100 ex Mormon activists 100 would say the church is in decline, possibly an idea would be to take a look at both sides of the argument, I would have thought that the leaders in Utah have a fair idea about their churches growth or decline. Didn't The Worldwide Church of God some years back make some absolute radical changes to its organizational structure as they were losing members? at least they showed some honesty. I'm not a fan of seeing any religious group expanding and look forward to the day they all sink without trace, especially radical Islam, our world in the 21st century would be a better place without any of them IMO, a lot of groups have had a boom and bust cycle, IMO the WTS is in large decline and the CoLDS seems to be growing.
