  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.

  Stuckin2 - encourage more births...

  They shot themselves in both feet on that one with the 1987 (?) district convention script talk " responsible child bearing in this time of the end".

  I personally know many who remained childles because of this.

  "Become more youth fucused, losing 66%..."

  That one has always really puzzeled me Joe, they are willing to expend such huge time and effort to locate and convert randomes and when one of there own blood trip and falls, they are left like an army that shoots it own wounded.

  i asked the question on quora: .

  if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

  Has anybody graphed the occurance of the term '2520" in the publications against year printed, this could be intefesting. I don't have the tools just now.

  I can see every congregation becoming a unique legal entity very soon. Who would want to be an elder when you would loose your house over something like this?

  shocking information near the bottom of this report from a watchtower lawyer definding the organization in australian courts.focus on the information under the heading: "the faithful and discreet slave".

  quite the shocker... the society's lawyer statesthere is no true physical body of people, but only a theological arrangement.

  the jws in the crowd gasped.

  Muslims take priority Zeb. 5 Years ago I dismissed the whole White genocide claim as pure bunkum, it's getting harder to hold that line.

  How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.

  i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.

  i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

  Good point Data Dog, charity work would actually make people feel useful, it would do wonders for the depression epidemic.
