NotFormer - “…The CO was using the stick; the WT needs more carrots…”
Hmph.
Personally, I think at this point, the Org’s carrot and stick are pretty much indistinguishable.

That’s the type of tactical blunder True Believers make.
They’d convinced themselves they were God’s Chosen, and therefore never in a million years thought they could be wrong…
…and even if they did, Armageddon would come and bail them out, anyway, so why worry?
i have a question about this article.. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jw-education-school/.
higher education can lead to moral and spiritual dangers.
a bible proverb says: "the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.
Initiating programs for kids - i.e. the next generation - implies long-term planning.
Which is impossible if the End of the World is imminent.
Further evidence that the policy-makers are True Believers.
what if the truly unthinkable happened and the tower went down?
perhaps the irs swooped in and claimed fraud and padlocked the headquarters and kingdom hall doors?
or the gb took the money and ran to a nice non-extradition country to live out their years?
NotFormer - “…It would be pretty hard to argue that it's God's earthly organisation if it was suddenly not there anymore.”
This.
If the Tower fell, it would be undeniable proof that it wasn’t God’s Earthly Organization…
…because if it had been, that wouldn’t have been possible.

NotFormer - “…on the one hand, they want dumb people that can't defend themselves from the WT's distorted doctrines, but on the other hand, they want smart people who can defend them from the consequences of those distorted doctrines.”
Damn, I wish I’d caught that.

here i will quote a post written by "littleone" on another forum:.
when that original congregation apostasized, it formed the roman catholic church.
was it that the roman catholic church was jehovah's organization?
Why would He need one?
@ NotFormer…
Some of us suspect that if they hadn’t complied with federal directives and tapped the brakes on the door-to-door work during Covid, the WT’s charity status / tax-exemption might have been at risk.
So, how many are left in that town, now?
Holy shitballs. 😳
This bit really jumped out at me:
“…He yelled at us throughout the entire meeting because we're not doing enough to stop the exodus…”
Clearly, he knows something they don’t.
