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.
"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: .

montana jury awards two women $35m in sex abuse lawsuit against jehovah's witnesses .
a jury in northwestern montana awarded two women $35 million wednesday in their lawsuit against the local jehovah’s witnesses congregation and its worldwide headquarters.. .
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.

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.

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.

good news or bad news first?
i'll do bad.. my grandmother is becoming more and more strict as i turn closer to 18, which is in 3 months.
i ask for the most simplest thing and it's like "let me think about it" i don't wanna seem as a complainer to you guys but i just want to be normal.
Ditto the girl next door, Your sister really need help right now and who better than you, somebody loyal and trustworthy for both of you. It will have difficult times with the young kids and their needs but it will help you mature quickly and if it works out you two will be closer than ever before.
does anyone else feel overwhelmed on what to believe?.
i've been doing lots of research on beliefs, evolution, creationism but i feel no further forward about what i truly believe.
for example i looked at the fossil record and tiktaalic and thought great it proves a lot but then i've seen counter arguments on youtube of people basically saying its a load of rubbish and doesn't prove anything.
