  What other Shenanigans can we expect to see in the next 2 years?

  its been a little over 2 years since i left the watchtower.

  in that time the magazines have been cut, the birth of jwtv, jw-org.

  carts for preaching, removed district overseers, cut assemblies, demand all the money from the congregations, stop construction and layoff bethelites, change the format of the tmschool .

  Or maybe they will find a way to give a title to someone who gives a tithe so they will be called a modern day Nazarite

  Don't be surprised if in the next couple years there is a feature length Caleb and Sophia movie released at one of the conventions.

  You mean like Star Wars and the return of the Jedi/Sophia

  I wouldn't be surprised if they started announcing at the meetings (or passing one of those "unanimous" resolutions) that there was a deficit at a recent convention and that they needed to send some amount of money to the branch to help "offset the cost." This will then be broken down to a per-publisher figure and suggested that they donate to offset the money that they're already sending to the branch.

  OEJ, I hope Lett isn't listening to this conversation.

  They actually covered oral and anal at an elders training just a few years ago.

  Not again,

  I was around in the 70s-80s when they said it was wrong for married couples. I saw a lot of divorces because it was considered fornication. Heck, I still know some old sisters who were divorced by their husbands and kicked out into the curb and then the men married younger wives. The sisters are still single.

  nicolaou

  A major change will come not from the Watchtower but from our side... it's only a matter of time before before the Apostate community responds in a way beyond forums, Facebook groups and YouTube.

  Real world interaction. It's coming.

  I never thought of that.

  If the GB do encourage this then they could also deal with issues re. married couples doing oral and having sex for pleasure by saying that 'New Light' shows us that sex should only be used for procreation.

  I'd better stop now ... I don't want to be giving them ideas

  Yes stop, one of my young jw friends would hate you because he just married someone that looks like this;

  I think she has flashes of awakening

  Thanks for that, I know I can't give up hope. Something might happen to wake up those we love.
