80-90 percent. However if you were to estimate how many believe that the WT Org is still on the right track then that % would be less I think. Doctrinally it all sounds good, but many JWs are begining to realize that the org is screwed up.

Evidence For Impending Change Re: "Loose Conduct" to "Brazen Conduct"
by DarioKehl inon another thread discussing possible changes to the nwt, the post refered to a 2nd-hand report of a co leaking possible changes to 5 verses where "loose conduct" would be replaced by "brazen conduct.
" although it is merely speculative at this point, i would like to remind those of you who did attend the 2012 dc this summer about some important evidence that supports this theory.
if the program is still available on jw.org, feel free to see this for yourselves.

At the last km school they specifically stated that this is not to be done. Congregations are to not have any website, email address, twitter account, or Facebook page period! They are going to get a "spanking" from their CO.

Were You Ever Comfortable Going From House To House?
by minimus inbecause i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.
(weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.
at the end i hated being there..

Is Today's Jehovah's Witness Religion The Same As It Was When You Were A Member?
by minimus inin my day, you were proud to be a jw!
you knew you'd get "persecution" and it was all good.
when you abstained from blood, you read the ingredients of a candy bar!

Minsterial Servant about 18 months ago.
Elder about a year ago.
Body of elders consist of:
men in their 50's and 60's
Most aged 45 and younger.
Most are good men but a couple are what I like to call Stepford-JWs. I swear they have a factory out west where they put these Skinjobs together..
WT is mother, WT is father, Long live WT. BING! WT is mother, WT is father...

Interesting speculations. All I can comment on is that the last few CO visits the CO was constantly promoting use of electronic media, to direct people to the website to download and read magazines. This was mentioned several times so I am guessing that there is a change in the way the preaching work is done and it involves the less placing of literature.
I totally agree that they are bleeding money with literature placements. I dont think anyone does that little speech at the end "....and if you'd like to make a donation to our worldwide work, I'd gladly accept it" anymore that they were really stressing back in the 90s. How many do you think are really donating for literature at the KH... very few.
Also I would place money on the recent court losses, 28 million is a huge loss. Whatever it is I will be there to take it in.
