Yeah. We know how much the Borg stands behind this "two or more witnesses" thing.

by Phizzy inwhile having my first strong black coffee of the day, i was thinking about what may be to come next as the org.
rapidly goes mainstream, and this is what i came up with :.
1) they will introduce for sunday, the after meeting fellowship, a time for just chatting but with the added bonus of coffee and snacks.

Disbanding HLCs?
Probably due to legalistic issues.
Legal issues,,,,thats when we see the Borgs true colors & what they're really all about.

When did JWS start disfellowshipping and why?
by lettersfromthevoid ini know this question has been discussed, but i can't find the topic i was just looking at, so.... one thing about this is that the other posters here didn't mention, that i noticed anyway, that there was this member of the gb in the 40s and early 50s (but possibly during rutherford) who was at odds with rutherford or knorr, and they wanted to do away with them, so they accused (falsely) that person, then they declared that the punishment for that sin was something they invented, or at least once iteration of, what we know as the modern disfellowshipping practice among jws.. so, that is why they invented that doctrine; they.

"Shunning" began I believe in the early 1950s.
Why?
Thats an even tougher question. I think its just a measure to control people as the Borg seen fit. To reinvent itself as they want to. You know make it up as they went along.
Like when they doubled-down in '81 to include those who disassociated,,, to be shunned & treated as such.

Thoughts on Likely Upcoming Changes in the Org.
by Phizzy ini am thinking that the "ten year plan" that some have spoken of is the most likely scenario.
the org.
has to both attract new members and retain as many existing ones as possible.. so i think they will let the recent changes "bed in" for a while, maybe a year ?

""I kept asking so Armageddon isnt coming in the next two or three years max?' ""
Ironically,,, this 1995 change rattled my cage enough and ruffled my feathers enough to crack my indoctrination in my inherited beliefs.
This led to about a decade worth of doubts from 1996 - 2006/07 & waking up fully in 2007.
Combined with the cliqueyness and lack of love in the congregations,,,fully awake in 2007 & since then.
Pandoras box,, its lid blown right off.

""Fair point.
How many would truly want to stay if they didn’t have to, though? ""
Probably only the old school ones.. A mere handful.

1914 & talking about it less,,less,less & less,,,??
Yes. Bang on.
It can be forgotten about. The less its mentioned,, it can be forgotten.
The more something is mentioned ie) governing body,,organization,,slamming higher education obedience etc...just to name a few,, it has a reverse reaction. Its reinforced. Solidifying!!
Yes. Mind control.

The coup against Tony Morris in order to make major changes?
by Badfish init’s been a long time since i’ve kept up with anything jw-related.
but just a couple days ago, i heard about all the new changes—beards, shunning, etc.
i was surprised, so i asked an old friend who i hadn’t spoken to in ages what happened.
