That’s OK.
Means something to us, and that’s enough.
the kingdom hall is still empty.
even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.
the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

Yeah, just sounds to me like the Org’s little temporary stopgap tactic of (over)consolidating halls to give the surface impression of higher growth/attendance is kinda working in this instance.
the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.
.
so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.

if the watchtower really wants to move more mainstream they need to take a lesson from evangelicals in the united states.
they seem to say there are "essential beliefs".
a handful of core beliefs that are necessary to be considered true christians.
I just had a fucked-up idea…
…wouldn’t it be a kick in the ass if actual moderates on the GB were genuinely trying to use that “core belief”…
…to make the transition to authentic mainstreaming more smooth?
(i.e. essentially use the slaves’ obedience to free them?)

“Wait…
…we can stay home, not have to knock on doors, not count time…
…and grow facial hair???”

All the extra-Biblical requirements were a big part of how they distinguished themselves from “The World”.
Dumping so much so fast suggests more reform attempts may be on the way, but also smacks of quiet desperation.

They want almost completely mainstream…
…and shattered into a bazillion pieces.
Hardly anyone even remembers Herbert Armstrong, anymore.
I guarantee you the Org was watching and taking notes.
