They also took away the ability to give talks on the ministry school that allowed research and coming up with a theme.
Yep it’s all about control

I love to pick apart the idea that “if our house sells Jehovah wants us to move”. If you want your house to sell lower the price or do some expensive upgrades and include them in the price. If you don’t want to sell your shack, place an astronomically high price tag on it.
What I find interesting about it all is how many jws do business with other jws. If someone well connected has a house/car for sale you’d be surprised to see how many jws jump in to buy, sometimes at a high price.

CO said; “Friends (plural) who’ve been raised in the truth are beginning to have doubts regarding their faith”
by pistolpete inhere is what a co said at the elders and ms meeting.
it goes to show that no matter how hard the governing body tries to instill fear of apostates, it's just not working on the young crowd of jws.. it's a new generations of born in jws--------and they don't buy this shit anymore.
it's really over for the watchtower.

Born ins are there for the social aspect. Most don’t believe enough to actually put forth much effort.

Since You Have Left The Religion Are You Happier?
by minimus ini realize that some activist exjws really don’t seem to be happy in life.
they finally got away from the organization and yet seem still negatively connected to it.
some exjws are always upset because of what the “truth “ did to their lives, which is understandable.

When one leaves or ceases to believe they go through a grieving process. It takes time to get over the loss and heal from the years of mental manipulation. I’m happier knowing ttatt

A lot of marginal employees get the axe
This is a valid point. I’m an employer and I wouldn’t hire many jws. Why would I hire someone who refuses to work overtime(we pay 1 1/2 times regular pay) when we have a busy week or have a customer order to fill. I even allow some of the guys bank their time and get extra time off on weekends or in the summer. Maybe the boss had enough and let these guys go.

It’s very similar to how the USSR fell. Nobody believed in communism anymore and one day they just all stopped pretending.

Is Your Best Good Enough?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inw55 1/15 pp.
there is a proverb that speaks of four things as never being satisfied, as never saying, “enough.” sometimes jehovah’s witnesses, as they listen to congregation servants discuss field service, may think these servants could have been listed as a fifth class that never says, “enough.” it may seem that they are never satisfied, as they urge better meeting attendance, more home bible studies and increased door-to-door activity.
to have servants who say “it is enough” before the work is finished would be disastrous to the congregation.

20 Years Occupying Afghanistan, Nothing Achieved
by Simon inso the occupation of afghanistan is coming to an end and, as predicted, they achieved absolutely nothing in that 20 years apart from:.
the death of 2,300+ service personnel and tens of thousands more seriously maimed or injured.. handing $billions or even $trillions of taxpayer dollars to defence contractors (so the military industrial complex wins, even if the military doesn't have a clear victory).. has this lengthy but short-term military occupation really changed anything in the country?
it doesn't appear so.. i said at the time that the us wouldn't have the staying power to enact real change.

I don’t think the PCR tests are 100% accurate. Lots of false positives and negatives. The Microbiology lab can decide how many replications to do and that affects the results. Why are there so many asymptotic cases of covid? A shitty test. Government policies ruined a lot of lives.
