now that some reasonably big changes have occurred in a short time frame, whats next?
will the gb let the dust settle for a bit, or will they keep dropping bombs this year?.
iloowy.goowy - “They did warn about not freaking out about decisions which would seem ridonkulous from a human perspective…”
Thing is…
…these changes are, arguably, sensible from a “human perspective”.
It’s from an ideological standpoint that the rank-and-file are having a tough time wrapping their heads around it.

let's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.
if they are going more mainstream.
i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.
Theres’s no way the consultants came up with the overlappers… it would’ve been way before their time, anyway.
I’m talking about the recent “mainstreaming”…
…dropping time-counting, beards, pants suits, 90-day probationary DFing, that kind of stuff.
Some women find it a turn-on.
For some guys, that’s all the reason they need.

stan livedeath - “why did the org pay an outside consultancy (if true) to show them where they have gone wrong?...we could have shown them-for free.”
Oh, oh, I just thought of something…

LongHairGal - “…I also have to laugh at some of the suggestions here and elsewhere - whether they are made in jest or in all seriousness…”

Haven't you been paying attention?

It takes a bitch-slap from “Satan’s World” to help ‘em realize “God’s Way” has changed up?

LongHairGal - “…They are probably propping up the religion…”
With what? Pensions and duct tape?
