  I would give the information, but only through a message. In fact, I have connect with several through twitter, facebook, and linkedin, but I don't want my name searchable through this site. Certain things need to be confidential.

  one reason for the dumbing down of the org

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a lot of us have said that theres been a dumbing down in jw land.

  its just not like it used to be especially a few decades ago.

  it seems to me that if jw are right and the end of the world is near, the spiritual food should get tastier and more nourishing as time goes on, but it's getting more and more bland and less nourishing.

  For lack of a better way to put it the dumb down because that it their target market. You don't see them publishing in peer reviewed academic journals, because that is not their market.

  The problem with dumbing down is that there is only so far you can go on the dumb down scale.

  BTW, I never understood the "simplified english" version of the Wt. Who are they targeting this version to?

  Between Rub a dub and the trip down memory lane with "take a walk on the wild side." This thread had moved from PG-13 to R rated. Is that allowed?

  org is dying

  by lambsbottom in

  i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.

  i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.

  the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

  Everything, including religions have a life cycle. I agree the the organization hit its peak decades ago. Selling corporate assets is a sign that it is in decline.

  That being said, many organizations figure out how to sustain a life after a decline. So the question really should focus on whether or not the organization has the ability to create a new life cycle. This what seems to be happening with jw.org and the trolly witnessing. Lets see what happens

  Kicking the "Gay Habit" at the IC

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  heard from a reliable source that this was part of friday's program.

  they even interviewed a "former gay man" who "kicked the gay habit".. evidently kicking the "gay habit" is difficult, not unlike quitting smoking or avoiding sugary snacks.

  the persons who related this to me found the whole thing to be laughable at best, but honestly seemed quite disturbed by it (which is good!

  Billy, great comment. I concur - what it is about being gay that is a habit. I have more than a few habits, some are related to what I like regarding sex. However, sexual orientation does not constitute a habit. It constitutes who you are.

  Looks great, I am curious why you do not include 1975 in the floating dates around the head of the person in the pix.
