  Can anyone come up with a morally acceptable reason for waiting thousands of years to end wickedness?

  i can't.. some bar-bet between jehovah and satan balanced against all the evil allowed just doesn't wash..

  what the Watchtower is saying is that because currently much less than one percent of the population of Earth is serving Jehovah

  .1% of the worlds population to be exact. 99.9% of the rest of us will be bird food. Mmmmm good shit to believe in! NOT!

  What will happen now? No more guilt trips, no more fear of the JW elders, no more oppression!!! Welcome to the rest of your amazing life!

  They'll announce it at the SM announcements part, they don't like doing the dirty work at the 'public' meeting.

  What are the names of the current GB members? Do the R&F know the Names?

  i never knew who was controlling my life.

  i didn't know who they were, how they governed, what they personally believed etc.. granted the wtbts never put any of that out there but there are people who knew them and would of course relate "experiences" of meeting them and from that you could derive certain aspects of their personality.. i never thought to investigate the leadership until i started asking questions.. so how many are there now and what are their names?

  i would like to ask my family if they can name them by heart.

  Ahhhh WoW memories! I cancelled my account about 2 1/2 years ago, got the Death Knight to lvl80 and then it was just more of the same as lvl60, 70 caps. Booooooring!

  Anyway, that is a hilarious reference in the game!

  What Would Bring The Watchtower Down?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  randy/dogpatch has posted some interesting material about troubles in the organization.

  this info generated a lot of skepticism about the possibility of watchtower fragmentation.

  frankly, it is very easy to be skeptical considering everything that ordinary witnesses are willing to believe or put up with.. i think it would be useful to realistically consider what sort of event(s) would bring the watchtower down or cause its fragmentation?

  Let's focus on one point, right now, there is no 'head' of the GB with the departure of Jaracz has left it headless, who really do you think will step up to take the reigns and be the bulldog within the GB?

  Barr may be the oldest and most experienced, but he has one foot in the grave. What about Loesch? I'm just throwing ideas out there, I have no 'inside' knowledge.

  Anyone want to add to what they think is going to go on with the leadership? Even in a 'committee' type setting, there is always one that is the de facto leader. Or did GB1.0 replace hardcore brown-nosers, no leadership skills, 'yes' men with GB2.0?

  I really think for anything to change drastically in this cult, it will have to be top down as it has always been.

  MLE, actually, you said it. If I was made a perfect human being, why in the hell would I want to sit around petting animals? Collared shirts? Why is every freakin WT article have males in khakis and button down shirts or polos and females in skirts? Seriously? You want me to live like that? HELL NO!

  Perfect mind, perfect body, perfect world, I'll be engineering a space ship and getting off the JW fairytale world ASAP!!!

  Those questions asked in the OP were the exact same questions I asked as a kid growing up a JW. I would stare and analyze the Paradise™ pictures for a long time wondering, how are we going to travel? How are we going to get electricity, water, clothes, are we going to have super markets? I can't grow, raise animals all myself to sustain my family, why not have supermarkets...

  What about lumbar? Sawblades, fuel to run the dozers and excavators... the list was endless. My mom just told me, 'there will be new scrolls opened in the new system and we'll get further instruction on how to live then." I was like, wtf? Why? We know how to live now, we'll be perfect right? So we can engineering clean burning energy sources. We can harness nuclear fission, efficient solar cells, batteries that never die out.

  JW Paradise™ IS a pipe dream. So many millions are sucked into that fairytale...
