The GB know it's all lies and wants to dismantle the WTS ... then what?

by Simon in

so imagine the gb have a sudden attack of honesty and realize "crap, this whole thing is lies - we're not god's spokespeople at all !".

how do you dismantle a religion that has +8 million members in a responsible way?

you can't just publish a watchtower saying "we were wrong" because that would be irresponsible - you need to let people down gently, put people off gradually.

A change could be very easy. Open the door from the jail and let the slaves go.

If they drop the disfellowshiping and shunning, it will went down very fast. Then it's easier to make a change, because everybody can say and do how he like. If there is no risk to wake up people, the revolution comes from inside. There enough people waiting for the right moment. At this time it's a hard job, to wake up some friends.

But first the shunning had to stop. It's the only thing which keep the people in the cult. I think this will only ends, if there a lot of pressure from the outside.

My First CLAM Meeting

by The Searcher in

i carried out my monthly "cover" visit to the k.h.

tonight.

as previously discussed on this forum, the clam meeting is just a rehashed, recycled, reshuffled, & rebranded ministry school and service meeting.

No, 3-4 people give an answer, the Rest is asleep. Boring.

But the little video was cool... 607 B.c. - a fullfilment of the bible. Crazy.

has anyone seen this?

when did that happen?.

It's only suggested. But the older people in my cong also buy tablets. It's funny to see. They helpless but got a tab. Most of them buy cheap android-tablets.

There's free wifi in the cong. So most of them without Internet download it at the kingdomhall. But you can only use JW.org other domains blocked. Only MS and up can surf free.

@Cogac: It replaces the old fs-report complete.

@ Dark knight: Theres no suggestion. Every stupid video from the bOrg counts. I think, if they show a good part and stop in between it will be o.k. There also come a video up, for inviting people to the memorial.

But the new FS-report is better for cheating. ;)

Most Poorly Written JW Book

by JW_Rogue in

so i was thinking the other day that the wt corp has produced thousands of books over the years.

although the writers have changed the style is almost always the same.

however, some books are just worse than others.

crazy_flickering_light

Imitate theit faith - absolutly the baddest actual book. What could be, what maybe be and so on. I miss something like: "Maybe they have a beer, look at the sunset and talk about the day." Well, maybe they do it, I hope so for them.

Up Helly Aa

by slimboyfat in

we were thinking about going to this next week, if it's still possible.

has anyone been?

is it worth going?

crazy_flickering_light

Did you see a "Clam" ever? If not, just go. It will be boring, because nobody give an answer and everybody look at at the watch. It's funny how they make it. So bad. Even, you not hear song 142, but it's funny. So the rest will be also evil. The bookstudy at the end will be a thing you have to see. In my cong nobody gives an answer (exept 4 or 5 person - the I-know-it-group). I only gives an answer if it's against anything they will hear. After this meeting you will know, why you pass the next weeks/months.

I've born in, and try to stay under cover - but this trash nobody can bear. Most times I thing after this trash, why I don't drop all this trash and get a life...

The WT in 10 years time

by Coded Logic in

a. in 2026 in what state do you think the organization will be?.

) 9million + members.

) roughly the same amount of members as today (7-9 million)..

crazy_flickering_light

A) 5

B) 3 - nearly none

C) 3 - nearly none

D) 3 - only every continent (shipping will be to expensive)

But it depends, what comes next. I think there a real big change will happen. If theres enough pressure to make changes about shunning, exspecially in the family (if they fight at the court, they tell it depends on every single person to shun, there will be no pressure to shun the family - so it's possible) then the people use this chance an run away.

Also more and more switch to tablet. It's easier to work with and you can read your mails or a book in the cong. So only some stuff for elder people and for getting new people to the cult will be printed.

But first they have to build there temple at warwick, and at the end of the year we maybe can't recognize this cult anymore.

"Crises of Conscience"

by Olivia Wilde in

i just finished reading chapters 11-12 of raymond franz, crises of conscience & i must admit, i am pretty strong person, however the way ed dunlap & ray franz were treated left me crying, i had tears rolling done my eyes driving home from work on friday... & how ed was kicked out by wt, left me feel soo disgusted & outraged.... it was very obvious he needed to stay at bethel because of his age & medical conditions but i admired he didn't compromise his conscious, it's sickening to me how cold & callous these men can treat a christian after all his service.... & of course ray franz situation was no exception either, the witch hunt they did to get him out was, well, there's just isnt enough adjectives to describe their disgusting motives against him... he was 59 yrs old trying to make a honest living with his wife & for them to go after him was devious & demon like.... i'm soo grateful i came across this book & i wished i had much much sooner.... i know god will reward both ed dunlap & franz plus many many more who have been unjustly & unchristian like treated during that time & this time, sooo sickening.....i still feel very much upset & emotional over the whole thing .... i never met any of them & then yet i feel deep christian love for them......

I agree, if you can read english, you got far more input. And the older light is unknown, or the crazy trash they write. So for example, that woman maybe getting mans in the new world. Also a lot of texts sounds in other languages not so crazy. Maybe they wrote it in english, a shitstorm came up and the translation was "optimized".

The languagegroups often far away from the typical congs. More fun, but often also full we special people. If a guy in a languagegroup do a little bit more, he gets very fast MS or elder. So there a lot of people looking for the expressway to the top.

You don´t have jwfacts in other languages, but nearly every bigger language got some sites with the main informations. A lot of stuff gets translated. So "Shadow of Sin" - you can look it also in german. It's harder to get a JW to look at theses sites.
