  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  Suggested a few posts back about "apathy".

  It has been commented several times over the years and YES,, agreed upon that ""apathy" is what is working against the most.

  Apathy is whats doing a number on the Borg.

  JWs And Superstitions

  by NotFormer in

  prompted by a mention in a different thread.. cracks in the sidewalk, a pinch of salt over the shoulder, black cats🐈‍⬛; do jws have such superstitious beliefs.

  are they allowed to?

  would they be counselled if the elders became aware?.

  The """everything is demonized"""

  It just affirms their "us vs them" mindset.

  The depression card is sometimes the way to go.

  The eldubs may give you the benefit of the doubt and leave you alone more.

  When 2 elders come knocking unannounced,,,it is to precede with judicial action.

  They want you to inadvertently admit to something.....using that 2 witnesses rule....& your fate is sealed.

  With an unfavorable outcome.

  When two "want to meet"".

  Everything you say will be used against you.

  Geez,,I sound like an officer here.

  But what I'm just trying to say is,,anything you say they can use to "their" advantage. And a JC can be formed to blindside you.

  If you want to avoid an eventual JC with unfavorable results,,continue to be evasive. Not at home or dont answer or whatever. If they do corner you,,,just play dumb,clueless.

  Do these things and cultivate a life,,or friends outside of the Borg,,until you're ready for an unfavorable outcome.

  Ive seen females wearin a jean dress at the kh over the years on a handful occasions.

  As they pass through the aisle,, you would not believe the dirty,stink eye an elder would look them up and down as they pass down the aisle.

  So as to avoid making eye contact. If looks could kill.

  Ron W;

  Thats the exact reason why 2 elders want to come ""visit and encourage" you.

  Its NOT to encourage you,,but to mess with your head.

  And to see if you're gone 'apostate'. 2 want to meet so they can report back to the elder body and say ""yes,,,so and so said this and that""

  The importance of coming in ""2's"". We all know it,,everyone knows it. How they follow the rule of 2 or more witnesses straight to the very top!!
