You’re probably right. They just have to bring the changes slowly enough so that people keep donating. The governing body are lazy like everyone else on this planet. They want to keep their job easy enough so that the money keeps rolling in and to do that they need to trim expenses.

67Real reasons behind this change?
by Gorb injust a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.
a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?
maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!
by BoogerMan inthis is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

Maybe they will lower pioneer hours to a number that most can attain. Let’s say 10 or 15. That way they can maintain a social caste system.
It will also affect family worship and born in baptisms. You don’t need to study with your kids each week to count your 4 hours. Other publishers won’t need to study with your teenage kid to get them to baptism if counting the hours don’t give them any social credits in the congregation
This is bigger than we think it is!

Interesting announcement about cleaning the Kingdom Hall. Lol
”even if you do not feel qualified, the brothers may be able to train you and your children together.”
This tells me that many are using the excuse of they are not qualified to do menial tasks to get out of cleaning the Kingdom Hall.
They are just tired of being micromanaged and treated like literal children and having their time wasted.
Mrs Hoser did rbc and got shit on for exposing a structural error tha one of the higher up male elders made on a Kingdom Hall. After that anytime we’re asked to do something at the Kingdom Hall she said we’re not qualified

The org: Coal calling the kettle black! #2
by BoogerMan in"the generally accepted definition of propaganda is this: an organization for the propagation of a doctrine or system, the purpose of which is to cause the membership of the system or organization to increase or enlarge.
religious organizations engage in propaganda, because each system of religion tries to increase its membership.
the work of jehovah’s witnesses for his kingdom is entirely a different matter.

The org either is oblivious to their hypocrisy and don’t honestly can’t see themselves or their actions……or
They fully know the mental manipulation that they are employing to deceive and entrap millions of people into their scam.

My most memorable was Wayne Johnson. He was so stuck up and made a whole bunch of rules for other to follow. A real ass. I heard he was later removed from his lofty DO throne. He served in Canada and particularly in Ontario
I remember him. I was too young to know what kind of a prick he really was but older people have filled me in.
Larry Erickson. He made grown men cry. One elder actually stepped down before Larry’s visit because he knew he was out (shift worker) and didn’t want to endure being bullied by Erickson.
Terry Attick. Manipulative prick. Obsessed with talking about the dangers porn with the elders and ministerial servants. I think he was viewing it secretly and projecting. That guy would interfere in everyone’s lives and broke up many boyfriend/ girlfriend couples. He belittled my wife and children to their faces. Not a pleasant person to be around. -

They lied about not reporting as well.
They told the media they reported but in fact didn’t.
Do jws think the police are stupid?

They are masters at begging for money.
By turning a legal, fiscal requirement into a religious event they can guilt the attendees into $$$$

Retirement savings
by TxNVSue2023 inwhat's the current jw stance on retirement savings?
i know it changed.
pre1975 it was an attitude of "don't worry about retirement, this system is ending soon".

I see many Jehovahs witnesses that earn more than sufficient income but can’t manage their finances. They spend it as fast or faster than they earn it.
I think part of the problem is the “We’re in the last, last, last part of the final part of the last days” bullshit that the governing body spews from their pie holes. One thing of certainly is this: The governing body, circuit overseer, body of elders don’t give a shit about your financial future or retirement. What they care about is your meeting attendance, field service report and time that you donate to building kingdum hauls. It’s nothing to do with you but all about them.

I would actually go as far to say that the org pads the numbers at every level to appear to be more charitable than they really are and to keep the person above you off your back. I just can’t imagine the hassle the circuit overseer would give to an elder body with low hours.

Knowing what I know now if I were in that situation I would vehemently deny having sex before marrying, referring to the two witness rule.
Honest people get to eat all the shit in life while abusive con artists like your ex husband screw you over in more ways than one. I would have thrown him under the bus for what he did to you
