no need to to confess anything to elders.. w00 6/15 pp.

16-17 pars.

They’re making it harder and harder to ~~disfellowship~~ remove wayward ~~members~~ adherents for two reasons…

a) …the courts are able to effectively demonstrate just how truly injurious and heavy-handed it is to individuals, and as such, it’s putting their charity status at serious risk, and…

b) …the longer a ~~disfellowshipped~~ removed individual remains out (or, rather, the more heavy-handed the discipline has been), the less afraid they’ll be to start looking at “apostate” material on the Net, and the less likely they are to ever come back.

The Org can no longer afford either.

What would happen if the religion just straight out gets outed as bad? The ORG admits to it and all the members get told to disperse

by Starlight.vee in

like the org just gives up and comes out saying that all of what they are saying is untrue and that there is no armageddon, nothing.

how do y’all think the the members still in it would react?.

there be a mental health crisis i perhaps.

Makes you wonder if Uncle Tony’s complete vanishment off the face of the planet (admittedly very effective, credit where credit’s due) is some kind of beta-test for that very contingency.

KerryKing - “It was mentioned on here before how the WT could claim the GB are evil slave, secretly retire them all in nice little villas somewhere to keep them quiet, and install a new bunch, then carry on as normal…”

Well…

…they could try…

Mass formation control and the Organization

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

mass formation control.

most of the changes in the organization have been doctrinal and as a rule jws would not openly discuss these for fear of being labeled an apostate.

examples include overlapping generations and types and antitypes.

ThomasMore - “…I agree that they know what they are doing but there is nothing sophisticated in their strategy…”

Yeah, if anyone thinks there’s some grand long-term master plan at work, they’re very mistaken.

For one thing, the Org’s entire theology precludes long-term planning.

ThomasMore - “…Reports from the field prove that members feel that the load is too heavy…”

Assuming you’re talking about the ministry, it’s ironic, given that that particular load became so heavy only because they needed the Mississippi-sized paper trail to qualify for charity-status, instead of doing actual charitable acts.

Has the Organization threatened to disfellowship those who state views countering those of the Slave?

by Vanderhoven7 in
