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.
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…”

so as they say one picture is as strong as a thousand words and here you have it guys in the latest study edition of the watchtower for october 2024 that has just been posted on their website a middle aged jw window cleaner dreaming of the new system where things will get better.
why does the watchtower need to talk now about jws on minial self employed jobs?
“Yes, massuh! We’s happy winder-washers!”
i remember reading somewhere a reference to ones at bethel being removed for suggesting that the governing body was the faithful and discreet slave, years before the org.

Okay, despite (or maybe because of) the veritable tsunami of marketing for this thing over the past 4-ish months, I haven’t updated this thread…
…until today, after seeing this:

“Is that a calculator in your pocket…
…or are you just happy to see me?”
😏
Seriously, though…
…I’m starting to think that gay men have much more active sex lives than the rest of us.
Maybe that’s the real reason sexually repressed ultraconservatives have such a problem with it…
…it ain’t ‘cause the equipment is being misused… it’s ‘cause it’s being used so often.

Balaamsass2 - “…Knorr gave a 10-minute announcement that 30+ Bethelites had just been summarily disfellowshipped and evicted for homosexuality…”
Rampant buttsex at an institution full of young, energetic, and attractive men?
Say it ain’t so.
