this topic i digress about why the watchtower relaxing the rules of disfellowship is essential for its survival.
many things i'm going to say are not my ideas, some are, the point is, i'm condensing everything in a logical and concise way.. the first thing we have to keep in mind is that the wt's main objective in instituting disfellowship has always been not to lose members because of the damage that a dissident could do, or to avoid gaining new members because of the bad reputation of a confessed sinner in the his/her region.
in the end, the more active members, the more money to the coffers.. in this case of disfellowship due to apostasy, to avoid any spark, texts were sought out of context that even prohibited saying "hi".
""I’m really starting to wonder just how far they’ll be willing to go to keep their tax-exemption...""
if the borg's tax-exemption goes,,it is the end of the borg as we know it.
expect them to spew more hateful, demanding rhetoric. the borg could become more demanding,more cruel. remember that Jehovah = Organization to the $heeples minds.
as long as that mental hook is there....it's cringe worthy. to think what the borg may demand of it's followers.
a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.
elder: 'yes.
i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!
""We believe in free will,,people have a choice. But we dont shun our families or loved ones for making a wrong choice".
so, first the turning in time got axed, now beards are okay, what is up next?
women wearing dress slacks to the meeting?
birthdays becoming acceptable?
DoC:
Thats what most JWs dont know!!
Is that if a JW takes a transfusion & the eldubs know about it & if the JW is ""truly repentant" by the eldubs standards,,,he/she can be spared a dfing or a judicial committee.
This is what most JWs DO NOT know. That is unless,,, they know about the leaked contents of the evil "Sheppard the Flock of God" book or videos on youtube talking about it.
Thank God for the internet age and God bless the leakers who dispense this information. There are ""good ones"" in the Borg.

"I'm going to donate blood today."
Now,, that's something you would hear most people say with very well minded intentions. All the time.
But hearing that from a JW would be out there like Pluto. Gone.
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'.
....or anyone to do the microphones or anything at this rate.

Whats up with this Ramapo thing?
Is it even going ahead?
this afternoon just after lunch.
i spotted 2 of the nicer elders in the congregation walking up the drive.
i didn’t answer the door.
A game of cat and mouse.
And don't answer the door if you're home alone.
Sounds like a plan if you dont feel ready to talk with the eldubs

Anytime they come hounding you with 2 or more,,be extremely careful what you say.
Could be a set-up.

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.
