Trapping them young is also a hallmark of the Mormon cult. This is especially true in the past 20 years, with the advent of ex-Member support groups. People are waking up to the BS of these cults, and they are hemorrhaging. The youth of today aren't swallowing this tripe.

Assembly with the branch representative
by LaFrancia inwe had the meeting with the branch representative this weekend.. the air was different than usual.. bearded ushers at the parking lots welcomed the brothers warmly.. lots of sisters with dress pants or not, nothing scandalous.. the representative of the italian branch made his debut on stage with his full beard.. location: roseto degli abruzzi (italy-europe).
some interesting statistical data can give a little food for thought after the numerous changes that have occurred in recent months (the ten-year or five-year plan, if you prefer, seems to be producing some small results).. attendance has increased since the last meeting.. our constituency includes 1725 publishers and those present in the morning were 1553, a little better than the november 2023 convention.
perhaps the new changes have brought some back to attendance?.

1. Welcome!
2. Please, PLEASE - Keep your mouth shut!
3. You can't trust cult members, so see step #2 above.
4. Learn to use the word "No." Repeat as necessary, and do NOT offer any explanations. You don't owe them any, no matter how large their sense of entitlement and imaginary authority is.
Q: "Want to study this Tuesday night?" A: "No."
Q: "Want a ride the Sunday Meeting?" A: "No."
Repeat in the mirror until you've got it down. Turn and walk away if in person. If on the phone or email, state "No", then deflect away to another topic or ask them a question about something else to throw them off.
5. DA'ing is playing by this dumbass cult's rules. No need for that. Fading is the safest, most effective way to cut ties with cults.
6. Best of luck to you.

RE: The Disfellowshipping section:
Apparently, the recent changes happened so fast (due to Japan and Norway decisions) that they weren't yet incorporated into this release. Hence, the changes in the GB Update will be covered thru the already released Elder's Correspondence and then at upcoming annual Elder's Meeting / Training session, wherein they'll be directed to write things in the margins.
So this tells you just how sudden this "90-day DF'ing, then repentance and let back in" change was.
"Directed by Holy Spirit", my ass!
WT HQ is 100% re-active at this point. They were never pro-active, but before they had things in que they were going to do slowly over time. (frog in water, anyone?) Now, their backs are against the wall, and it's severely affecting membership and lastly, but most importantly - MONEY!!!

With all of the changes in the Borganization in the past few months, Lloyd's newest video is on "Biblical Inaccuracies: Part 1"?
A. This subject has been done to death over many years and many YT channels.
B. This is a multi-part series? He really is still like JW's with their multi-part "Symposiums" at Assemblies.
C. Again, so many recent changes to make videos about......really, it's like the Org is giving him GIFTS with this many subjects to talk about. He could go on for 6 months with these recent changes, but instead crickets are chirping and he's putting out boring ass shit? lol.....total MORON.

Ronny fled to Laos after witnessing The Great Neck-Bearded One "dating" a young lady-boy. The horror was too much. He left. -

I still say you're all making a stretch thinking he "dated" Thai "girls."
I'd bet 12 bottles of Tony's finest Macallens Scotch that he travels there soley for the Lady-Boyz.

JW Expanded Volunteer Activities?
by doinmypart ini think the gb needs to expand publishers' volunteer activities beyond door knocking.. gb has shifted away from door-knocking to more varied forms of witnessing and no longer counting time for publishers.
my prediction is that the gb will start encouraging jws to participate in broader community volunteer efforts: clean-up drives, food banks, senior citizen support, and other non-proselytizing activities.
this move could help them gain goodwill with government agencies and the public.. expanding volunteer activities could significantly shift how jws are perceived by the wider community.

At WT HQ during 9/11, they justified locking the doors as just in Noah's Day, when the Ark doors closed up to the worldly people about to be killed in the great flood. It was only after some real himing and hauling around, that they were finally pressured into opening up enough to hand out some measeley bottles of water.

Charity and outreach? Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! GET REAL!!!
WatchTower is it's own favourite charity. No JW need to give time (or more importantly) MONEY to any other charity besides THEM.
That shit will NEVER happen. EVER! Mark my words. That is nothing more than wishful thinking.
