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".
TheScientist;
No. These changes are not trivial in JW land .
These are actually U-turns,,180's,,or whatever you may call them..
Lives have been impacted over the decades by such heavy-handed mandates.
Now they are totally flipped. What gives?
The Borgs fight for survival probably.
library.
books & brochures.
enjoy life forever!—an interactive bible course.
What FedUpJW 1st comment was,,,pretty much where it is.
Because they only care about $$$,, and their own in 2nd place.

In order to maintain its 501c3 status,, look for the Borg to soften on the LGBTQ community
They have to.
On SixSreens last nite there were comments about that.
Because times are a changing & the Borg needs tax flow. What its all about.

The WT is its worst enemy.

Vidiot,,,you're totally on track!!!
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.
""Hooked and relying on it""
Ahaa!! There you go. Thats when they get you.
Sunk cost fallacy. When you're vested into it.
Thats how the borg gets you.
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.
""Fading"",,usually the less traumatic way of leaving the Borg.
Not as devastating to family,, friends & what nit.
But,, it does take planning & hard work.
Shunning people these days,,,yes totally unacceptable. Especially over something as pity and trivial over a change of religious views.

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.
