  DNC - That hypothesis probably warrants some investigation.

  Do you wear your mark proudly....

  at times in histroy the ruling classes have used marking or tatooing as a mark to notify the public of how to respond or be warned with regard to the individual bearing the mark.. in some cultures this marking practice has caused more problems than it solved.

  these individuals have banded together and gained influence among the populace, some for good purpose, some for bad.. i would like to think that our collective purpose is good.

  our purpose should be educational, informing those who are in, and out, that this organization has lost god's approval if it ever had it at all.. inorder to do that we must not shrink away from those who are in when we see them in public.

  Crisis of Confidence...GB vs. Legal/Support

  by Momma-Tossed-Me in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is a division of confidence amoung the above two bodies.. the gb feels it has no need to worry since they have god's spirit.. the legal/support departments see the writing on the wall or the reality inwhich we live.. someone has to balance this between the two parties inorder to maintain the stability of the wtbts.. it appears at this time the support staff is winning by using the facts concerning the lack of liquidity that the org is experiencing now.. at some point the staff will have to deliver the bad news to the gb that they can no longer cover up the loss of adherents.. hopefully some time soon.. mtm.

  The GB feels it has no need to worry since they have God's Spirit.

  The Legal/Support Departments see the writing on the wall or the reality inwhich we live.

  Someone has to balance this between the two parties inorder to maintain the stability of the WTBTS.

  It appears at this time the support staff is winning by using the facts concerning the lack of liquidity that the Org is experiencing now.

  At some point the staff will have to deliver the bad news to the GB that they can no longer cover up the loss of adherents.

  Hopefully some time soon.

  How successful are Watchtower leaders at keeping their own children in the religion?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower leaders are not a particularly fertile bunch.

  (russell, knorr, franz and many gb members being without offspring, as far as we know) but to the extent that they have had children i thought it might be interesting to investigate how many watchtower leaders have managed to keep their own children in the religion.

  they have not been slow in handing out advice to others about bringing up chilren to stay in the religion, but how successful have they been?

  Where is the Society headquarters these days?

  by rory-ks in

  i actually find this whole matter a bit creepy.

  i find it very hard to think of the watch tower society as a cult in the same mould as jonestown or the branch davidians, and yet their out-of-town facilities increasingly take on the appearance of a cultish stronghold.. where is the society headquarters these days?

  is it up in wallkill?

  Really the WTBTS has a headquarters in every active JW's mind. It matters not where the physical location is as long as they can go the Kingdom Hall and receive information from Momma.

  Inorder to do that we must not shrink away from those who are in when we see them in public. Walk with your head held high and if you are happy then smile. Convey to them from your body language that what the Watchtower writes about us is incorrect.

  So wear your mark proudly and if possible express it to them if they initiate conversation.

  Theocratic Warfare is easier with the advent of cyber warfare.

  by Momma-Tossed-Me in

  with the advent of cyberwarfare on the rise among nations with little to no reprecussions because of the hidden nature of the enemy the wtbts should be building an aresonol of software.

  surely they are doing this to combat enemies of the true religion.

  WTBTS do no wrong in the eyes of believers?

  by Momma-Tossed-Me in

  the wtbts has enjoyed a well insulated capsule of people for a long time.

  the amount of adherents that left was minimal because of the thick wall of fear.

  they are riding on a sharp edge that with one great movement one way or the other could ruptre and cause great hemmoraghing.

  Shopaholic - if the "true" witnesses remained i would venture to say the reduction would be significant for the fear factor is the only thing holding a lot of them in.

  I think that there is a certain element of suprise that the news media offers when any number of scenarios works themselves out. It could be a report on a significant drop in membership or an at the top scandal that is too big to cover up.
