A few old timers on here often refer to the dumbing down of the JW Organisation. What examples can you think of from over the years? (I ask as an interested outsider who was never in)

Highlights of DEC. 2023 Watchtower
by was a new boy inis watchtower nervous about including pictures of current governing body members that may have to be deleted one day?.
6 anointed christians cherish that hope.
one of them, brother (false prophet) frederick franz, said from his heart: “our hope is a sure thing, and it will be fulfilled fully to every last one of the 144,000 members of the little flock to a degree beyond what we have even imagined.”.

They continually predict things on "Jehovah's" behalf, if not specifically in his name. Of course they are false prophets. 🙄

MillennialDawn: Interesting to see some nostalgia. How do you feel modern COs (since DOs have been rendered obsolete) compare? Do you think that there is a great "dumbing down" of the Org, as many here have observed?

Are Elders prepared to take the fall for WT/GB misdemeanor's / crime ??
by smiddy3 ini have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.
to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.
to break the law?.

Anony Mous: Not only should they not be destroying such records, surely there are criminal penalties for doing so? 🤔 Do the elders realise how much trouble they could personally get into if they are seen to be wilfully destroying evidence of a crime?

Vidiot: sometimes problems become so ingrained in an organisation that you need fresh sets of eyes to even see them. I'm surprised that in an echo-chamber like the WT that anyone would even acknowledge that need. Not surprised that the old guard would resist any innovative or radical solutions. "Jehovah's earthly organisation has never needed to do this before!" 🙄

It's counterproductive attention seeking. Well, it's had the reverse effect on me: I will cheerfully ignore anything he posts from now on because of the sort of person he's shown himself to be. As far as I am concerned, nothing he writes from now on is worth my wasted time to read.

Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!
by JT inyes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.
i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.
as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

I wonder how the assembly went with the hurricane going on?

Punky: I must admit that Fisherman's temerity in using your suffering to troll on behalf of his idiot mates at the Kingdom Hall took my breath away. Ignore him, bro! Prat's gonna prat! 🙄

JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inmy grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.
he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.
he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.
