any elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.

i hope that they will never ask me that question.

any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.

maybe there will be a mass exodus from jws when thinking people read feb 2017 watchtower telling them the governing body stuff up, shouldnt expect correct/ perfect information and basically make up guff as they see fit.....ya reckon?.

No.

The rank and file JW are happy. There is no need for change when you are in a comfort zone.

Even if 1914 would change to 2014 and every JW would get a heavenly belonging, no one would left.

It's all about the comfort zone, not about the theology.

Who would vote to disband the JW organisation?

by Half banana in

from their history, it is evident that jehovah's witnesses are just another doomsday cult.. cults are run by autocrats.

on purpose they are ideologically fixated and they demand that their devotees hold the same absolute certainty of belief without regard for evidence.

the suspension of critical thought is encouraged and by focussing on the objectives of the cult belief in a like minded community, it gives both a sense of direction within a sort of ‘family’ and a hope of paradise perfection.. the leaders have everything to gain by controlling their followers; all the income goes in their direction.. democracy has strictly no part in a running cult.

A big NO for me.

Every religion attracts it's own kind of population.

It's a regulation system for people who need support and maybe some control and hope for the future.

It keeps them busy and gives them a purpose for life.

Hence, most of the effects and output of the Watchtower believe are positive for those who need it.

And:

The society policy and the corporations acting is according to the rules of law.

(if they are not, they would be sentenced).

So if you want to be a JW, be it, if you won't be a JW, don't.

Disband the organization is hurting people and overdone.

Elder wants to stop by with the CO for a visit .

by NikL in

so i got a text from an elder who i consider one of the good guys and a friend in his own way.. he asked if he could bring the co by for a visit.

he said it would be "just a pleasant call and visit and will hopefully encourage my wife".

he says that "he knows she is dealing with a ton of pressure".. in all my years around the organization, i never had a visit from the circuit overseer.
