I don't think that the "Sunday school" is going to work, the youngsters are way too smart; they are born with a chip built in.
jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.
i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?
where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?
having been out of the cult for a few years now, i can finally sit back and accurately access the good, bad and the ugly, especially as it relates to education and having a sense of self-worth and realizing your potential.
in my opinion, religion is a total crock, but at least in some religions there is at least some value that you can translate your experiences and education gained in such into the real world.
for example, the mormons have their own accredited university where you can obtain a degree and you can actually put that down on your resume and use it in the real world.
In all honesty, prior to 1990 when a face to face interview was a requirement the WT training was a plus; many employers were impressed with the ease of the JW candidate to communicate with others.
Today, you will get to a face interview when you are about to be hired. What will open the door for you, will be that little piece of paper. For that reason the majority of prominent elders are giving their children a College education and even "mother" is sending some of the privileged ones to get higher degrees.
this morning, my wife showed me this online article (written yesterday evening july 11, 2016) from dutch newspaper "trouw":.

to me, this seems to be one serious step further, and together with the convention bunker video's it will surely fuel the persecution-syndrome and expectations of the great tribulation even more than it already did!
The WT loves this, they need "martyrs and persecution".
looks like chelmsford is going ahead after all.
here is the text of a letter to be read out this week:.
to all congregations in britain and irelandre: branch relocation project updatedear brothers:we rejoice to inform you that in june of this year, the governing body gave approval for thebritain branch to relocate to new facilities that will be constructed just south of chelmsford.

I don't know if people will see the irony of the WT going back to the original operating system under the Pastor, started as a business and is now going back to its original roots.
some internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.
- in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.
- which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.
i'm speechless.
i know this guy.

His father was for many years the Pillar of that Congregation, very fine man; I don't know if he is still alive. This will be a Megaton Blast in the area.
