Not representatives of the society? You report your hours to the society, the branch formally appoints pioneers and elders.

How is it possible that you can be formally appointed by an entity and yet not be a representative of the same entity?

many people will scoff at the thought that the org will collapse.

i agree that it will never collapse but the crumbling has begun.

think about the following.....they have a serious lack of potential future leaders.

Please keep our buddy SD-7 in your thoughts (and prayers)!

Sorry about the lack of paragraphs. I posted from my phone and the format is goofy

They have a serious lack of potential future leaders. If you get a chance and know any elders that went to recent week long school, ask to see their class picture. It will be evident that the majority of the current pool of elders is made up of men in their 50's and up. More and more talks and articles are being prepared to try to encourage young men to reach out. They won't because they can see that the "privilege" is nothing more than a life sentence to organizational servitude. The printing industry is dying. The society needs a product to sell. Historically it has been magazines and books. These are quickly becoming obsolete forms of communication. What are the pubs going to sell in 20 years? A peek at a tablet video? Who is going to contribute for that? The theology is stale. 1914 was a 100 years ago. Nothing has happened. The world conditions are improving instead of getting worse. The # of anointed is increasing. The policy of shunning is not sustainable in the age of Facebook. Some people just aren't listening to the counsel to avoid df family members. This weakens the arrangement. This practice is increasingly being exposed in the press as extreme and fanatical. It is. No one wants to be perceived as a hateful religious nut. That's why if you ask a witness, "do you shun family?" they will always lie and answer "no" even if they really do. (there are some here who are being shunned by family. I hope that the next few years brings a change to that situation) Lastly the Internet is a major problem. Anyone can go online and research Jehovah's Witnesses and see the truth about the organization. They can do this from a pc, tablet or phone. More and more news articles about the society have comments enabled. These comments have links to critical information. Witnesses will inevitably see the truth about the truth. To sum up The crumbling has begun......

It's simply a scam that attempts to be self sustaining. Zordino is right that collections are down due to the changing model of the publishing industry and recruitments are down due to the Internet. What else does the society have that can be converted to cash? Their product doesn't sell, the publishers are tapped out, so th only thing left is to sell the real estate portfolio.

hello all, i've been on this site for a few weeks (reading for longer) and i have to say this site has helped me a great deal.

i see from reading all the posts that many many people share my views on the whole jw thing and i'm so glad i can express myself without getting into problems with getting reported to the elders or something.

i am currently in my late 30's happily married to a jaydub with 2 kids.

Things in the past that show you that your doubts started earlier than you thought

by sabastious in

i was just talking to my wife this morning about underlining or highlighting the wt paragraphs.. when i was 13 years old i would fight with my dad because i refused to highlight the answers.. the reason was because i wanted my comment to be genuine.

i felt that highlighting the "answer" made me lean on just using that as a crutch and not truly putting it in my own words.. i still hold that argument now, and i am 26. the only reason you would ever have to highlight something in a study book would be if you needed to remember it, maybe it is fairly complicated or subtle information that could be easily forgotten.. so many times in the wt the "question" has the same phrase that's in the paragraph!

it's literally like playing connect the dots.. so what i would do is not highlight during the family study.
