That's exactly what it is. A religion which controls people by fear.

I'll agree it will be a slow hemorrhage of people leaving. You tend to see it talked about or shall I say mentioned with this past summers' Regional Convention releases. Such brochures such as ''Return to Jehovah'', has to make a person guess that the Borg knows there is a problem with apathy or something to that effect. -

cantleave;
There is no such mass exodus because of 2 big reasons and here is my theory;
1)The shunning policy. The real threat of losing immediate family and friends who one may have had for 25 or 30 years.
2)Mind control. Imagine being told you've been in the ''truth'' for 40,50 even 60 years. No matter what a person is told they just want to believe what they want no matter what. That's how hardened a person can become. That they just can't be told something otherwise.

Holy Crap!! Just finished reading the letter in it's entirety posted by Cedars on jwsurvey. Deeply shocking letter, if this is not false that is. Cedar mentioned something on his post about if the only good nugget he gained while in the Borg was that of developing public speaking skills. This is especially taking something away from women in the congregation where they could develop communication skills. -

Impression of Leaked Letter Regarding Annual Meeting
by freemindfade inthe letter that watchtower free put up was very interesting.
here is my impression.. the watchtower is becoming more and more geared towards idiots.
the midweek meeting has a stupid name, and the parts sound equally dumb.

With the scrapping of the Ministry School, that's got to be a major let down(when after it's announced). I mean think about it, that's the only place where one can really develop their public speaking skills. -

Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects
by James Jack ina good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

You got to feel really bad for those who have worked at Bethel for say 30-40 years and then sent away with next to nothing for marketable skills, sad. -

Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick
by sir82 inheard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.
apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.
so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

if my memory serves me correctly, a few weeks or months ago I can recall reading somewhere on here or another site about construction coming to a halt and a moratorium on building spending. -

I just want to say ''Thanks'' to the person who leaked this. Like others have said before, this letter leaked more than a week in advance, its understandable that only a handful of people would have access to that letter.
It must have taken great courage to leak this letter. I (we) all appreciate these leaked letters, it really serves as a heads-up so to speak as to whatever comes down the pipe. We know the Borg monitors this site, and I must agree that the Borg must be just livid now that they know this has been leaked.

Going back to that May 2015 when that guy was talking about money. He seemed so adamant about more money going out than going in. It just seems so strange or weird that the Borg has the rank and file listening to religious broadcasts like these to only hear about money. Just the poignancy of that May broadcast was right off the top.
