"8 Ways To Give Us Your Cash" - the desperation in the latest Watchtower is tangible!

by cedars in

i know gayle has already started a thread on the latest november 15th watchtower article that mentions the article on donations, but i thought a thread with a more specific title might be in order just to drive the point home for any lurkers.

i hope gayle doesn't mind!.

i've been banging the drum for a while now about what i view as the obvious signs that the watchtower is in a state of decline.. i have written the following blog articles on the subject.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/branch-closures-and-fire-sales-a-growing-trend-for-the-society.

I believe Mr. Sedition is employing an ironic device...

If a brochure that exists for the sole purpose of instructing adherents as to how funds may be donated - up to and including the event of their demise - is NOT solicitation, then pray tell WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS?!

The biggest enemy the Watchtower Corporation faces now is "The Truth"

by Finkelstein in

thats my opinion because the wts really has been preaching false information now for so long about the end times and armageddon soon.. also the doctrine that jesus chirt has taken a position over his earthly and heavenly kingdom in 1914 .... etc.

its been a winfall marketing scheme for such a long time, which now really doesn't have much leg to stand on.. time in conjunction with reality has made the wts's doctrines redundantly weak or useless more or less.. i'm even believing the leaders of the wts are even starting to know this for themselves.. the wts future and its main supporting pieces of literature, the watchtower and awake magazines may eventually be tossed aside.

for some new doctrines as well newly named pieces of literature .

It's funny... both "The Truth" as well as the actual truth are now serving to work against them. Maybe that's why they lie like mofos.

im kind of new here.

i was a former member of this site, a little over a year ago.

had planned on writing a backstory of what happened in the past year but decided to keep it simple.

You know, it's funny, after years of a losing battle with doubts about "The Truth", I once thought to myself, "Being a trapped JW with doubts you can't shake must be like being a gay person trapped in a loveless straight marriage". I can only imagine what a gay person trapped inside the WT must have gone through.

Welcome.
