  JW light Elders?

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so many elders are now saying no to pretty much everything.. they are saying no to assignments and away talks.

  saying no to jobs in the cong.

  the cos and the super fine elders are using scripture and the elders manual to try to persuade them to step up.. many are coming off as an elder, but even more are simply saying the cost of living or other reasons they are just finding it hard to fulfill all their assignments.. if you say you want to come off the public talks list altogether they still try putting you down for some and making a fuss saying you have to give some public talks.

  Never underestimate the power of passive resistance.

  It’s effective even when the resisters don’t even know they’re resisting.

  Few JW leader have children

  by slimboyfat in

  2. beliefs

  it’s been discussed before that few jw leaders, past and present, have had children.

  this is in contrast with other groups, such as the mormons, whose leaders have had a lot of children.

  i wonder if this has impacted jw growth.

  Yup.

  They’ll bend over backwards to avoid even the hint of something like that…

  …because once your brain starts to head down that particular rabbit hole, there’s no going back.

  Journeyman - “… if the R&F had been given a more ‘balanced’ view…”

  That would have run too much risk of diminishing the sense of End-Times urgency.

  The Coming Global Salvation - (Not Universalism)

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the overwhelming majority of the early church leaders (fathers) were premillennial and believed in a literal 1000 yr. kingdom.

  today, 2/3 of christians are amillennial.

  i do not want to imply that amilennialists, are not christian.

  Predictions for the next decade?

  by jehovaxx in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as it’s nearly the new year my prediction over the next decade or so will see the sense of urgency dwindle.

  then some huge huge changes.

  for example by 2034 in a decades time, they will have address the 1914 issue and will come out and say we can’t be dogmatic.

  Prediction for the next decade…

  …Warners and Disney will merge.

  And we’ll finally get the Justice League / Avengers crossover nobody’s been asking for.

  they’ll call us apostates.

  “…we just had the courage to think for ourselves…”

  By the WTS’s internal logic, that’s “apostasy”.
