  What changes would stabilize JW membership?

  by StarryNight9 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  This is determination of discreet in dictionary.

  careful not to cause embarrassment or attract too much attention, especially bykeeping something secret:

  Wonder how slav class is 'discreet' in view of recent development.

  They have to change a lot from top to bottom to have a future.

  it's just a week or two away and still no sign of the usual hype?

  very strange.... anyone heard anything about it?

  perhaps from those still in to some degree or from relatives/friends still in?.

  Study Watchtower confirms shunning spiritually weak. How nice!

  by Isambard Crater in

  it really hurt to hear brothers and sisters commenting about this at the meeting yesterday.. "as in solomon’s case, one of the greatest threats to spirituality is friendship with those who do not understand or respect jehovah’s standards.

  some may be associated with the congregation but may be spiritually weak.

  others could be relatives, neighbors, coworkers, or schoolmates who are not worshippers of jehovah.

  JW org collapses

  by I Faded Twice in

  ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.

  honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.

  to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.

  This all depends how you view it. If its from wordly cooperation view point, they doing bad.

  If its from a belivers bible view focus on bless or not. Its over for Them.

  You will not find this sort of support in the New System: JC Elder

  by Diogenesister in

  so that statement was made by an elder to a disfellowshipped brother, during a reinstatement meeting.. this statement is made here at around 4.

  10 mins in.. the full story of this man is incredibly sad.

  in fact i've rarely listened to an exjws story that has affected me quite so much.

  You are wrong when you say videos like this would affect jws so they would abandon organization. They usually don't put that much attention on meetings and such. What JWs don't like is donating or helping other financially. Put like other religions a tilth 10% of salary goes to donations and JWs will run and hide.

  hi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.

  today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.

  they say people in warwick were commenting on this.

  (How) Will The Slow and Subtle WT Internal Shift Affect Us?

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.

  the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.

  the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.

  There's been a shift in organization wise to be more loving to attract people from district. But they are focusing on getting the shift to younger ones. The olders ones think most of hours and showing up at meeting. They or a lost case and don't think the organization see any future with them anyways.
