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".
Over on the Reddit forum.
There is a thread about disfellowshipping is the "linchpin".
I do believe that this policy is one of the ""glues"" or "'catalysts"" holding the borg together
Without it,,,all PIMOs everyone,everywhere all at once would make a mass exodus simultaneously.
Probably,,,I would venture to bet,,,that there are only 1 million hardcore,,or PIMI loyalists.
Removing dfing would be the silver bullet,,death knell for the Borg.
i heard on the meeting about apps called nwpublisher and cartsmart.
new world publisher (nw publisher) is a free apple ios and google android app created by jehovah’s witnesses for jehovah’s witnesses.
congregation publishers can install new world publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.. cartsmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts.
Clearly not the religion we grew-up with in the 1980s & 1990s.
Completely unrecognizable.
i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.
i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.
amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.
They've totally replaced Jesus with the hijacking of the ""faithful and discreet slave" parade from Matt 24:45-47.
Its all about this " faithful slave" doctrine and equates blind obedience to now the governing body.
Spot on! Its about worshipping the gb!!
i just did a google search to see if i could find out if my old kingdom hall was still there, in the town i grew up in.
google has generated questions.
the first question asked how much jehovah's witness elders get paid.
No elder is paid anything,,it's just free labor.

I see what you're getting at.
Perhaps a "softening" of the policies,,or along those lines.
Yes,,thats feasible.
The Borg is apt to finagle their way around policies.
Good post.

The 3 cornerstone policies the borg will never remove without collapsing in on itself are;
1) the evil blood policy
2) the shunning policy
&
3) the 2- witness rule.
The borg is bound to the hip with the above. There is no possible way they can now remove any of these.
I'll stand to be corrected though.
heres a business opportunity for someone.. jw clothes.
mens suits etc--with that discrete blue j,worg label inside.
order online..
They just idolize the governing body.
They sing and dance in front of them.
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?
ZZ top anyone?
LoL.
Or the Sheepdogs.

""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.
