  In previous years where UN or some nation condemned the Vatican, JW's start jumping into conclusion the end is near the great tribulation is starting. Governments are attacking religion and they will soon ban them.

  This front page news titles: Wars of Religion. Is just talking on how the Muslim jihadist and extremists are attacking minorities including Christians and how the Wetsern countries need to stop this from happening.

  So i am guessing the same reaction will now be observed by the WTS/JW. They will say: Governments are now seeing how religion is causing problems and governments will intervene to stop them and result in banning religion hence the GT.

  What do you think? Would the WTS/JW's take this opportunity to increase efforts and maybe new magazines or talks discussing that these events are foretold into he bible and now they are happening?

  Also do you agree that at some point governments will ban religion, hence the prophecy is fulfilled?

  As others mentioned, i don’t like the label. I prefer they let us go without losing our family.

  So in the current situation, YES i care since there is too much on stake, family wise.

  i was baptized in 1968. last meeting 2010. i have to say i was never 100% in.

  there were times i absolutely believed, but i never really gave it my all.

  never liked service, assemblies, meetings.

  At some points in my life i was 150% in and never asked why. After some major life changing events i started looking at things differently that’s when i started being just a number for the WTS.

  I am still in, but definitely not 100% and don’t think i will bounce back to 100%.

  who else thinks something is afoot with this?

  is the gb deciding to go back to pre-1971 times with perhaps the cobe as the man in charge and the rest just ministerial servants.

  so for this reason they want younger men in those postitions?

  Our COBE is non English speaking and he was couples school graduate.

  I think they only people who follow the big boss (CO) and do what they are asked. No more we have done this for 40 years and we are not changing how we have done it!

  I dont contribute at all.

  But i was wondering if the above is true, then wondering what are the implications on the other congregations.

  my mom has not been to any meetings or participated in field service since august 2013. she cannot walk due to all her medical conditions.

  she is either in bed or sitting in a wheel chair.. our family hired a caretaker monday - friday to help her eat, take her to the bathroom and sit with her in case she needs anything.

  in the evenings and weekends, we have family members take care of her.

  It is all about numbers and looking good.

  They are have asked me to hand in 1 study, 4 return visits and 4 hours for studying with my child - told him politely i am not doing it . Teaching my child (whatever that would be) is my responsibility and not statistics to inflate the numbers!

  Didn’t take it nicely, so this elder every month reminds me about and recently sent me the KM reference on why is should do this.

  Recent refinements / changes in WTS

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we had our co visit and on his second talk he mentioned we need to be a pillar and support of the truth.

  we can do this by accepting and working with all the changes, refinements and the speed of jehovahs organisation moving forward.. he listed the refinements and changes that occurred in the last couple of years:.

  1- study edition of wt - allows the society to use more meaty articles and not worry about non jws understanding them.. 2- public edition of wt and awake.

  WTS/GB is run as a corporate. Managers should be young but it does not matter for the Board!
