  Re. Pistolpete‘s post...

  And why would “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization” capitulate to the commands of “Satan’s World”?

  And where are all the black-clad NWO stormtroopers? Don’t forget those guys.

  I prefer the term “authoritarian high-control group”.

  A bit wordier, but break it down into its individual components, and I think even the most die-hard loyalist would find it difficult to refute the label.

  In fact, every decision they make...

  ...every decision...

  ...is tailored to some degree towards reinforcing the Organizational claim.

  @ Phizzy...

  It’s less about the money, and far more about maintaining the fiction that the WTS is “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”.

  Signing up to the redress scheme is tantamount to publicly admitting the problem did, in fact, exist, and that the vaunted “Biblical” policies they used to deal with it were fundamentally flawed...

  ...both of which would too deeply undermine that claim in the eyes of the rank and file.

  Predictions of The Org in one year.

  by Overrated in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i predict that in a year kingdumb halls will be replaced by zoom.

  they will still have assembly halls but will charge a heavy entry fee.

  baptisms will continue to be so low that would not be worth counting.

  you cannot make this up: financial help and the hand of jehovah complete project.

  january 2016 jw broadcasting..... video starts at 35:30. a local design construction department manager named travis brooks tells a story about a building project on the island of yap, micronesia.

  a small kingdom hall needs to be expanded because the facility wasn't big enough for those in attendance.

  why crown of thorns

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  most here know that story elements in the jesus story are drawn from the ot.

  countless elements of gospels are cut straight from the descriptions of ot characters like moses, joshua, samuel et.al.

  an interesting suggestion involves a passage that was the very last straw for me years ago.

  “A crown of thorns”...

  ...the most hardcore metal thing in the Bible.

  Or the title of a long-lost George R. R. Martin novel.

  Jeffro - "...if understand it right is JWs inactive being kicked out of congregation..."

  Seems that's not actually what it means, but you know what's weird?

  Since I first came here, I've theorized that on some level, the WT leadership would actually like to passive-aggressively DF or DA long-term (and maybe not so long-term) inactives (we're a "security risk", after all).

  There has been some mild rhetoric supporting the idea.

  Jeffro - "...Can't imagine org wanna suddenly drop what could be 100000s of members. I think they are that many. Think of the donations org will have to do without."

  The number's probably even bigger, but don't kid yourself.

  Inactives don't donate all that much.

  you are what she wanted to be!please, let us remove any blame to anyone right up front.

  what happened to petra was not the fault of mark o'donnell, listener, corney, mike and kim, or anyone else.. constant rejection and shunning even at an early age, the depression was storing up inside of her.

  she was shunned inside the hall and outside the hall.

  Depression can kill, same as cancer.

  Glad to hear Petra's getting the medicine she needs.
