  Prediction: no more changes for a long while

  i’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.

  so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.

  maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

  ThomasMore - “…definitely on a list of 'wants' by the Rank n File.”

  The rank-and-file have a “wants list”?

  News to me.

  Was it Designed?

  the jw website is currently featuring a piece: the shell of the diabolical ironclad beetle​—was it designed?

  it is part of their regular tedious 'was it designed?

  ' series that purports that very very specific animal species must have been specifically designed because of some seemingly amazing feature.. but they seem completely unaware that this directly contradicts their notion that only very broad 'kinds' were required on the mythical 'ark'.

  To accept evolution is to accept that the WTS is really wrong about something really big.

  Once you go down that rabbit hole, there’s no coming back.

  Trust me, I know.

  One thing seems certain…

  …the days of XJWs despairing that the Org is unbeatable are all but gone.

  How the Society can change anything they want

  it's been a long time since i last posted here.

  however in light of recent changes i have thought a bit about things and have come to the conclusion that the society might.

  .. use the "evil slave" argument.

  On some level, they gotta be aware of all the potential blowback.

  My guess is, if they really are expecting the CSA scandals to sink the Org sooner rather than later, this is just to try and put off scuttling the ship for as long as possible.

  Bingo.

  That’s why I have trouble imagining that authentic, full-on mainstreaming can truly work in the long run…

  …it would have the net effect of neutering everything they held up as “proof” they alone had “the Truth”, up to and including the claim of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”.

  Any remaining incentive to stay would be virtually nonexistent.

  Case in point; the “Plain Truth” guys.

  Seriously though, I’m inclined to believe it, too…

  …simply because just about every authoritarian regime in history, when facing extinction, opted to go all-in at the eleventh hour, come hell or high water.

  And they overwhelmingly choose to crash-and-burn rather than concede victory to the “enemy”.

  No empire-wannabe has ever stopped wanting to be.

  If they’re gonna try and play the “evil slave” card, I’d suggest Jaracz.

  It’s his iron-fisted legacy that’s caused most of their problems, anyway.
