This picture is a internal PR illustration. The real GB meeting room was drawn in a recent Watchtower, placing it on top just below Jesus meeting room.

"But the Basics haven't changed"

by Phizzy in

a couple of days ago in town i met a jw guy i have known since he was a kid in diapers, he is now an elder and must be 40 yrs old, still a kid to me, though.. he gave me the spiel about "we would love to see you come back " , i said that i could not come back to the religion i had left as it no longer existed (a line i got from my friend bill), this elder replied that there "had been changes, but the basics remain the same".. i just was not quick enough with this one, i just sort of nodded at that and went on about what i simply could not swallow as "truth".

overlapping generation etc etc.. what he was meaning by the basics being the same is that nothing has changed on the "what jw's don't believe in" front, i.e trinity, immortal soul etc.

the reality it is that the basics of jw/wt teachings about what they do believe in have all changed !.

The Big Mistake: celebrating 100 year of Kingdom Rule (1914)

by Gorbatchov in

the watchtower society has announced the celebration of 100 year of kingdom rule since 1914.. in recent history, more dictorial regimes has celebrated their years of rule.. i see the society's celebration as the big mistake.

it's a boomerang, a double edged sword.. during and in the aftermath of the celebration there is a change that the institution, the watchtower system, will breakdown.. just like the german demoratic republic, celebrating their 40 years of rule!

in a few month's time the gdr was gone.. gorby.

Just like the German Demoratic Republic, celebrating their 40 years of rule! In a few month's time the GDR was gone.

Rumor: New light comes from outside marketing consultants

by Londo111 in

this is a rumor i heard back in november, it comes to me third or fourth-hand.

feel free to poke holes.

i have many doubts about this myself.

Gorbatchov

London111 I believe there is a truth in this rumour. There will be big changes in the near future. There are cliffhangers used for implementing these changes.

All changes are made to keep the organization fit for future. They do it with a theological flavor.

A multi bilion corporation uses externel advisors and consultants thats a fact.

They must have a 20 year strategic plan.

Yes is's a corporation selling religious dreams. Like Disney for children, there is Watchtower for the family.

(And yes, there are some benefits living the Watchtower life)
