Whole society is making big changes in technology and robotics. 5 year's from now we probably see Macdonald with much less employees. The organization can recibe donations online. If they keep counting hours for pioneers, it can be done online. The real preaching work for years now has been done by JW.org. Door to door has been mostly the big campaigns to invite the public to assemble. They invited everyone in the district. But when you visited the assembly, you saw mostly JWs there 😁

They not going back to before pandemic. Organization has been going downhill from abouth the middle 90s. This is there opportunity to make drastic changes. They lost control of elders and going online will give GB more control over congregation. They can sidestep the elders that way. Plus they been complaining for years abouth DFing people for small things. If they go online basically congregation arrangements will stop to exist, no need to DFing people anymore. CO arrangement haven't improved anything in congregations. They most likely remove it. Who knows what will happened if they go online. If it's gonna be good or bad. Continuing like they have before pandemic will destroy them.

This Discussion Board
by minimus inwhen you look back the last 20 years , what a transformation!
back then witnesses were putting out poetry and most were singing the praises of the organization.
slowly and gradually, negative thoughts were allowed to be expressed about doctrines, elders and congregation life.

Big Cull of Foreign Language Groups and Congregations
by eyeslice ini overheard mrs eyeslice listening to '2021 governing body update 3' yesterday.
apparently, they have started ditching foreign language groups and congregations as these weren't exactly roping anyone in.
of course there is a positive spin on all this - '4,000 plus elders freed up to serve in local language congregations' and of course there has been immensely positive feedback from various branches about the benefits of this.. i suspect though there will be an awful lot of elders who were serving as king pins in these congregations who are going to have their noses put out by going back to local language congregations where they will barely be used.

Elders in does congregation not gonna be happy. But it's another step of going online, and use webpage to preach with information in different languages there.

Daily text 15.4.21 Unbelievable hypocrisy. Don't be the master of another's faith
by Diogenesister inyoutuber "king of fader's" caught this unbelievable piece of cant from watchtower in thursday's life and ministry 'daily text'.. (based on 2 corinthians 1:24 " not that we lord it over your faith").
"jehovah has not given us authority to make personal decisions for others.
someone who makes needless rules is not protecting his brothers safety - he is trying to become the master of his brothers faith.

Do you believe org gonna go back to regular meetings in KHs? I highly doubt that. Reason is, pedophile situation. They appointed person's in congregation base on hours service every month. Anyone can cheat there. A child most have two witnesses to confirm he/she been abuse. Rules like that make org a haven or paradise for child abusers. This have gone in for decade's and decade's. There must be so many, that's it's probably impossible for them to go back to having meetings in KHs again.
