Will Governing Body stop preaching work?

by neat blue dog in

at this year's annual meeting (2016), david "mark" sanderson asks the audience the question, "are you determined to keep on preaching with us until we say the work is completed?

" to which they respond with applause.

do you think that stopping the preaching work will ever be a part of the gb's long range plan?

Gorbatchov

End of preaching work = end of control system, the end of "keep them bussy" and the end of recruting.

A big NO.

It's all about money.

And WT is not scared for making dirty deals.

All KH's in Holland (a few hundred) are heating with Gasprom gas. A Russian firm with close ties to Vladimir.

So, WT is not that narrow minded when money is involved.

The best deal what ever it takes.

recently attended a special assembly day.. guest speaker was thomas chicky, a member of the us branch committee and the head of the us ldc (which has replaced the rbcs).. the last talk of the day is scheduled for an hour.

it was the usual boring mumbo-jumbo.

he appeared to have blasted through his hour-long outline in just about 45 minutes, so he "treated" us to informal comments on recent developments.. he commented on the new wt complex in fishkill ny.. then he dropped the bomb (well, to anyone with ears and at least 2 functioning synapses).. the following is not a word for quote, but presents the gist of his comments:.

I think there are Cayman funds. It's a cash cow.

one day at art class, we were told we were to draw a naked woman.

i knew as a witness this would be wrong, but i awaited the lesson in anticipation, it would be the first time i had seen a naked woman.

i remember sitting at my esal waiting ten or fifteen minutes for her to appear.

Free thinking weekends with wine and dine with a JW who studied on a University and others.

And then... reading Ray Franz with them.

It was 1995, then, when the 1914 doctrine changed.

It all came together.

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.

Mass JW exodus

by stockholm_Syndrome in

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?.

Gorbatchov

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.
