I think that morale is lowering but enough die harders" are still around to keep whipping up the masses into a frothy, whipped confection. In my congregation all except for 4 of the elders out of 11 on our body are pioneering. They breathe, speak, eat, and shit WTism. The Coordinator is such a WT man that he watches and counsels any elder or servant that doesnt follow instructions from mother to the tee! Among the lay people I do agree about morale slipping a bit but the threat of being socially ostrasized keeps most in line. I do agree with the poster that each successive generation of children born to WTites will take it less and less seriously. Unfortunately things will likely change very little in our lifetimes.

JW morale reaching new low
by kneehighmiah inmany friends i've spoken with are becoming discouraged.
because of this it's becoming tempting to privately share my views with friends, but i know this is still too dangerous.
most witnesses in my circle are intelligent free thinkers.

A friend of mine called me yesterday and he told me about a special meeting up at the assembly hall in Newburgh, NY regarding the Warwick project this passed Saturday that all elders and ministerial servants living within a 55 mile radius were invited to. He told me a lot of stuff but the gist of it was:
1. Volunteer to work
2. If you can't, send money
3. Don't be critical of those who are
a. volunteering
b. sending in funds
4. Open up your homes to volunteers who need a place to stay for days, weeks, months if needed.
Scheduled date for completion is December 31, 2016
He told me a lot, but most was WT propoganda designed to guilt you or fool you into supporting an unnecessary and ill conceived project. I gave you the main points that he stated to me.
So lame....we have this project and you idiots need to give up your time and money to support it. What was wrong with Brooklyn?

"in mentioning “this generation,” Jesus was referring to two groups of anointed Christians."
How do they know that he was referring to two groups? Because they say so? lol

I am inclined to believe that there is a god, but I wouldn't be shocked if un refuteable evidence surfaced stating otherwise.

by BluePill2 inbefore i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.
during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.
as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

How men become homosexuals...
by Calebs Airplane infinally, i've found the reason why some men become homosexuals.. the 1976 book "your youth: getting the best of it" explains it here in great detail.... .

Thry have changed the stance on homosexuality lately. In a DC talk about 2-3 years ago the speaker pretty much said that they were born with such desires but with Jah's help you can resist giving in to the desires. I paraphrased it obviously but I didnt mistake the point. This may even be alluded to in a WT article as well but don't have the respurces now to check.
