  The Jehovah's Witness religion has ''Jumped the Shark''

  what does jump the shark mean?.

  the phrase “jump the shark” is a term in pop culture that originated from the tv show “happy days” and is used to describe a decline in quality.

  it refers to the moment when a tv show or other product has reached its peak and starts to decline in quality.

  The carrot and the stick are wearing out.

  Like I keep saying, if they keep doubling down, they alienate more and more decent members, get in more and more trouble with the secular authorities, and run the risk of going broke…

  …but…

  …if they implement authentic mainstream reform (and take it to its inevitable conclusion), they eventually eliminate the very things they’ve been using to set themselves apart and “prove” they had The Truth.

  Eirher way, they basically neuter any remaining incentive to even be a Jehovah’s Witness.

  Shaking Down Satan - WT Sues Norway

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i wonder how many witnesses are aware that the wt and their team of lawyers are currently suing the government of norway for millions of dollars?

  i thought that the wt taught that all the governments were run by satan.

  when i was a witness, this would have really bothered me.

  Phizzy - “Another court case the Org will lose?”

  I gotta say…

  …at this point, it doesn’t feel like they gave their lawyers much to work with.

  Honestly, I’m starting to think that they just have a big bulls-eye board with their favourite ideas on post-its, and they take turns throwing darts.

  If they’re jumping the shark, it doesn’t mean they’re out of new ideas.

  It means they’re out of good ideas.

  Mikejw - “I doubt the three pictures with the goatie they were fake.”

  FedUpJW - “Perhaps a faked photo from a fake person in attendance and put on exJW sites for the sole purpose to ferret out anyone who might attach it and send it to someone who was PIMI?”

  Or maybe that’s just what they want you to think.

  Has The Interpretation of the Beast Changed?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my understanding* is that the un is supposed to be the wild beast of revelation.

  the un only came into being after wwii, so what was the beast before the new light came about?

  i can't see a speculative organisation like the wt not having an interpretation of the beast before the un came into being.

  Same here.

  If you were to read it back nowadays, it would look and feel so dated and Cold War-centric, you’d be thinking “WTF?” even if you were still in.

  Maybe that’s why they’re doing this thing in Florida (assuming they have anyone with the narrative chops to come up with something plausible in the Information Age).

  https://www.jwupdates.com/post/jehovah-s-witnesses-sue-norway-after-registration-revoked.

  the following article appeared on baptist standard's online edition in january 18, 2024. other christian denominations are starting to pay attention to the legal cases against the watchtower and write about it.

  like the watchtower did in yester years with catholic csa cases.. oslo district court in norway is home to an ongoing trial after norway deregistered the jehovah’s witnesses last year.

  It’s funny.

  That Concept they’re captive to has, arguably, been the Org’s greatest strength…

  …until it wasn’t any longer.

  At some point, they crossed a threshold, and allowed the Concept to dictate the majority of their actions over common sense…

  …with the Concept’s implied invincibility and destiny leading them to make increasingly short-sighted strategic blunders.

  Those strategic blunders, in turn, created long-term problems that they’re virtually helpless to address in any significant way without, essentially, undermining the very Concept they’ve been struggling to maintain.
