i recently came across the above watchtower article which spoke about conducting bible studies which lead to baptism.
it progressed to say that if the bible study instructor does not see growth within the student or the desire to work towards baptism, then the studies should end.
@Longlivetherenegades,
It’s interesting because Jehovah Witnesses speak of themselves as being so righteous. They state that lying is a sin and that a white lie is still a lie. Isn’t it a white lie to tell a future Bible Study Student that they can engage in Bible Study without being pressured to become baptized?
i think he will have to deal with the attorney general of new york amongst other things.
i do think he will not simply go away quietly ..
@Pistolpete,
That was hilarious. I was not expecting to see that.

@Longlivetherenegades,
What Jehovah Witnesses say amongst themselves and what they say to their Bible Study Students when beginning Bible Study is very contradictory. I am sure that if Jehovah Witnesses were to tell their future Bible Study Students that before they begin Bible Study, the goal is for them to be baptized, many future students would not agree to the study.
@Biahi, it amazes me that someone would be shunned for not continuing with Bible Study. After all, people have a right to not continue with the study. Furthermore, Bible Study Students are not Jehovah Witnesses so what is the logic in shunning them for not continuing with the study?

@Overrated,
I remember that. When the pandemic began, the belief was that we were living in the end times and there was an attempt to get those who were disfellowshipped or faded to return to Jehovah.

@mickbobcat,
I never pioneered. Therefore, I don’t know if there is a demand for a study. However, I did notice that approximately two years ago, the congregation that I used to attend was teaching on ending unproductive Bible studies. There was a video that was shown. Now, they have returned to discussing ending unproductive Bible studies.

@Longlivetherenegades,
I am no longer a study. However, when Bible study was first offered to me, what I was told was that I could study without pressure. It wasn’t up until I progressed in my study that I came to realize that the goal was for me to become baptized. By the time I reached that realization, I was already having doubts about the religion.

@DesirousOfChange,
Two hours? When I was a study, my Bible study conductor progressed to having four hours of Bible study with me once per week. It was a lot and became overwhelming for me. At times, I would zone out. Not only was I engaging in Bible studies, I was also attending the weekend and weekday meetings consistently. Eventually, I started reaching the conclusion that those four hours of study were more for her than they were for me.

My previous Bible study conductor was doing Bible Study with an elderly woman for many years. She died without having been baptized.
so did anyone catch the january jw broadcast?.
it's the "spiritual content" of what would have been introduced in the october annual meeting, had the october annual meeting taken place.. morris, splane, and jackson introduce a new jw study publication: "live forever eternally - an interactive guide".. details were sparse, but apparently it is a 256 page book (when in actual printed form), primarily designed to be used in its electronic form, stuffed with links to videos.. it is designed to be "just one book" to be studied prior to baptism, where "all 60 questions that baptism candidates have to know" are found in just one place.. the purported reason is to make jw "bible" studies more "productive", i.e., lead to more baptisms.. splane brought out the governing body's "great concern" that 10 million+ "bible" studies are conducted by jws every year, but the number of baptisms has been stuck at 200,000 - 300,000 per year for decades.
so the thinking is, this new book + a "new method of conducting studies" (again, no real detail, but apparently it involves more "discussion" and less "question and answer").. want to know my thoughts?

I am wondering the likelihood of a Jehovah Witness willing to end a Bible study? After all, doesn’t it count towards field service and how likely are they to obtain another Bible study student?
