as there has been some discussion calling bs on this topic, .
i will paste the text from my 10 year plan post and i will critically evaluate how i feel things will turn out.
i will add bold italics my thoughts.. the governing body has a 10-year marketing plan to remodel the organization to become closer to a mainstream christian religion.
Multiple plans like a business?
Short term? Long term?
And a 10 year plan?
WT members are victims. The Borg perpetually leads them on that the end is " nigh",, but behind their backs ""these long term plans" but forever dangle this carrot in front of them.
so the wt society is going to contest the recent norway ruling.. jehovah’s witnesses to appeal unconstitutional ruling in norway (jw.org).
their true colours are shown in the statement: "the decision to deregister jehovah’s witnesses denies us the financial aid and other benefits that the government provides to over 700 registered religious communities in the country.
additional consequences include losing the right to appoint and authorize ministers of jehovah’s witnesses as officiants for weddings.".
Yup
I remember having my morning coffee on Tuesday March 5th reading about Norway ruling on the Borg.
I was thinking "" the Borg will appeal this within a month"".
Well it took 25 days.
A week short of a month.
I guessed right.

Im actually hoping the Borg is stupid enough to appeal to the European Supreme Court.
Likely the higher court will uphold the lower court.
The Borg gets their asses handed to them too.
Then the Borg will likely have burned down all their bridges with all the countries in Europe.
but i wonder: how many jw's went to prison during the years that the wt did not allow them to perform community service as an alternative to military service?.
anyone care to take a stab at the numbers?.
On this subject of Alternative Military Service.
In case you haven't read Raymond Franz book Crisis of Conscience there was an excellent chapter on this whole thing.
How its affected the lives of thousands of JW men tremendously. Only to have the Borg change its mind later,, with ni explanation or apology.
Ray Franz books. Crisis of Conscience & In Search of Christian Freedom. I suggest you get them. Outstanding reads.

No we haven't heard of Terry lately come to think about it.
I believe he has been one of the longest posters on here going back this forums infancy,,,well before the youtube era in the early age of social media.
Hope he's ok.

Its no longer a "suspicion",, its evident
The Borg is its worst enemy.. Managing to pull itself into a bind,,,again

Ironic.
The Borg puts itself in with the organization it condemns to get government funding,perks and tax breaks.
They rely on governments and such institutions which it condemns, for its longevity and survival
They exclaim all the time ""no part of the world"" ,,,"unity"" & then they depend on such organizations.

"I hope they lose this appeal"
Not only that. But I hope they're stupid enough to appeal to the European Supreme Court. Lose there too and then every country in Europe will want nothing to do with the Borg.

Like I always say.
Whenever it comes down to $$$$ or legal issues,,, we truly see what this Borganization is about.
We really see them spring into action. Mobilized.
All the time.

"Holy spirit confusion".
This is an example of any man made organization getting their 'wires' crossed.
