  Why disfellowship must be eliminated for the survival of the WT itself

  by TheScientist in

  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".

  If the new "light" gets any ""lighter"",, there won't be anything holding the Borg down.

  ie) like maybe allow Holidays and birthdays?

  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.

  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.

  NWPublisher app

  by Rattigan350 in

  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.
