So, where is it all headed, a watered down non trintarian, more mainstream protestant, online cult with regular automatic tithing?

(How) Will The Slow and Subtle WT Internal Shift Affect Us?
by Solzhenitsyn inas 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.

The "abused" becomes the "abuser"
by stuckinarut2 ina thought occurred to me about the perpetuation of jw abusive culture.. (i do not mean sexual abuse - i am referring to emotional, or behavioural abuses).
most jws are raised in the oppressive and abusive culture of jw life.
they have been raised with low self esteem.

I too have noticed this Stuckin, but I did not really understand it until I began to study the deep things of islam, they have exactly the same issue but to a truly horrific extent, two key factors are the internal verses external locus of control and the pain and repetition of being a high control group.
Nocolai Sennels, Danish prison psychologist explains it very well, worth a read - https://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/09/nicolai-sennels-psychology-why-islam-creates-monsters

Dec 2018 Watchtower Third Heaven & Paradise
by Listener ina qfr in the watchtower asks ".
n what sense was the apostle paul “caught away to the third heaven” and “into paradise”?—2 cor.
they've been flip flopping regarding this, stating that it is paul talking about himself to paul talking about the congregation and back again to paul talking about himself.it appears that three years ago david splane gave a talk during the convention explaining their latest ideas and it has taken all this time for it to get into print.

The greatest con man that every lived - mohammed read this verse and knew how to cash in, he promised his followers that if they participated in jihad by killing un believers, they would go direct to the Seventh Heaven where they would have a permanent erection and be serviced by 72 young girls (and boys) who's virginity would be miraculously restored every day.
The number of people in the world that believe this out number us (dubs and ex dubs) more than 1000:1 Think about this.

If we are to believe the bible accounts then many of these ancient characters were remarkable people, even worthy of being named after – despite the names being pretty kooky in this day and age.
What you should be alarmed about is all the kids being named Mohammed. Most popular baby boys name in the UK last few years!

SimpletonSimplified version of the study WT goes the way of the Dodo at the end of 2018 and the mainstream one will be made "more readily understandable" (to simpletons).- More cost savings or have they just realised that any normal people capable of reading the big words would not be bothered reading this publication?
