i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.
too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.
maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?
Changes at WT land?
Getting rid of regular preaching.... let's say, stop bothering homeowners in a regular basis...and make a big campaign only by Commemoration time. All duds in good standing should participate, that means less paperwork. Concentrate efforts in all the rank and file, make the thing less rigid and more social. Tell them you're gonna testify by living an exemplary Christian Life.
Maybe by 2075, if they still around.
Don't give them ideas BTW.
last week was awful for the stock exchange..... do you guys think something like the 2008 crisis could happen again?

from bbc news "five jw's from the kirov region detained with about $ 7,500 accused of funding and organizing meetings....they found literature...and two hand granades and a landmine".
the russians are such idiots planting evidence....and quarrelling with the neutral and sheepish jw land...and of course inflamating their persecution complex.

jehovah's "failure".
we humans never seem to consider god in terms of anything but power and ability.
the idea of 'failure' is preposterous.. .
Maybe the conception of 'God's failure' is a problem, you know, because of the Western civilization and the more or less Christianity it has. Other's cultures thoughts about God are very different. Maybe we should just think how to make a better world in this vast universe. Maybe God just like to play golf.
according to the pope that darn old devil is attacking the catholic church.
i am sure when the dubs see this news they will get all excited and see it as the start of the final attack on false religion.
naturally they will ignore all their mounting in house problems of the same type of sexual abuse and cover up.
For the feverish and indoctrinated JW mind this could be the sign. There's a California victim too who is suing the Vatican so as the names of the worlwide abusers priests be released. Just imagine the cascade of lawsuits that are gonna follow. So they are probably gonna claim : "the political powers as the beast are attacking Babylon the Great...."
opening prayer and welcome br ciranco .
babylon the great has fallen - how?
br robert wallen.
Public magazines eliminated, both Awake & Watchtower ! Emphasis on simplification and reduction !
Just kidding ,,😅
i've seen many topics about how things are changing or might be changing in jw doctrine/culture.
some have extrapolated how those changes would result in declining jw membership.
i'm curious to know what changes others think would stabilize those numbers.
Proclaim that the paradise has arrived! Then do the house to house trying not to get any home more like one or twice a year, a.k.a don't bother people. Be more social to keep the bonds of the flock together, made a festival, bingos, potlucks, a place for the little ones. But, wait, with all that two or three congs in one KH that's a dream.
just a hypothetical question.
if the society was right and armageddon came a knocking would you want to live in a society run by the org and bully elders.. would rather die at armageddon.
i would.
Not gonna happen....but a man made or nature made it's possible, I guess I'll buy a Kentucky Knob Creek whisky 1.75 liter ....
i asked the question on quora: .
if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

They said "we do not try to find a symbolic meaning or future fullfillment in every Bible account" back in ws 3/2015, when they were talking about types and antitypes. So I agree, 1914 is gonna to begin to disappear from their 'up to date' publications. It's maybe the last Russellian thing.
guys, i've always wondered about this ,.
all the money grab,selling, consolidation of kh, real estate scam , who is the one who benefits from this elaborate scam, what's the deal ?
who is the mastermind, do the gb or whoever really runs the show really believe what they sell.
Who benefits? The human beings that sue them and their lawyers....
