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?.

They could easily change the date or get rid of it all together and most of the fucktards would be none the wiser or care. But some will leave some will notice . When the 1995 change in the generation teaching took place a lot of JWs did leave but times have changed most haven’t a clue of deeper doctrinal issued.
Its now mostly a feel better then everyone else because I’m in gods organization club. We’re better then you because we have the truth, gang.
i’ve just got off the phone with the head man from the sda church.
it’s really been bothering me this membership numbers.
so i went straight to the source.
I don’t believe 35 million but I must say the SDA churches are much nicer then the Kingdom Halls and some even have schools attached. Same goes for the Mormons agian it’s hard to tell their numbers but when you look at all three it seems to me the JWs have been lying about their numbers longer.
how many think they will announce in the annual meeting they just gonna have one meeting a week?
if they dont it will be astonishing, amazing and other things..
They will say “ Jehovah’s chariot is moving so fast we’re seeing such growth. Armageddon is eminent stay the course your salvation is almost upon you”
the wt for this upcoming sunday 10/07 is especially precious in its standard double speak.
aren't we so grateful to the f&ds who directly mediates our relationship with jesus christ and give us the food we need at the proper time?
i dunno....maybe i have anger issues with the the wt?.
What thier saying is their god is less powerful than Satan because he can’t stop the attacks on the reputation of the organization. And he’s so weak that as the propaganda gets around the world the preaching work will be completely useless because of these lies. Poor weak and puny Jehovah.
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.
Start preaching the love ideas that are written about concerning jesus as thier main focus.
Make dfding only for gross offenses like pedophiles.
Make the blood doctrine a conscience matter.
Drop the titles and the ministry and time keeping stating that informal is the best method now.
Use the Bible to say that celebrating holidays is a conscience matter which it does anyway.
Focus on association more and maybe have only one meeting per week.
Actualy do some real charity work.
stop talking about end times and focus on being judged by good deeds and faith in Christ.
In general become more like a traditional Christian Church that’s more about fellowship then dogma.
In this way you’ll be able to hold on to the young and maybe even win back those on the edges as well as stop loosing so many.
But they won’t do this infact their doing the exact opposite becoming more and more culty and will loose more because of this and getting new ones is now almost impossible.

Trump has always liked to tweet things but he’s so narcissistic that that wasn’t enough. Now he can message out some of his crazy saying to most of the country.
one of my best friends is in the security business.
he told me the other day of how the watch tower has been in contact with his good friend and business associate.
evidently they are inquiring about putting cameras into every kh so that they can do 24 hour monitoring.
If some pedophile freak happens to rape a child at the hall the scum bags at bethel want to be able to watch.
guys, i've always wondered about this ,.
all the money grab,selling, consolidation of kh, real estate scam , who is the one who benefits from this elaborate scam, what's the deal ?
who is the mastermind, do the gb or whoever really runs the show really believe what they sell.
The real estate scam started in the Rutherford area and has been part of the JW program ever since. They have been scamming the JWs every possible way possibly excusing their actions by explaining to themselves that since they don’t tithe then what else can we do? The organization I don’t think is run by a group of men behind the scenes pulling the strings instead it’s an organization that has evolved over time run by narcissists and based on what’s has happen to them and the organization the cult is where it is today. Inept corupt and just plain crazy but they can’t see the trees for the Forrest.
did jesus ever utter the name jehovah?.
and if he didn't what are the implications?
nwt answers don't count but feel free to use the kingdom interlinear.
Jesus would never had said Jehovah but the book of Revelations says Jesus is the great Amen and he was a god.
so my jw mom messages me on facebook last night and says she wants me, for a month, to read the bible, but first pray using the name jehovah and in jesus name and then read it with an open mind.
she is so ridiculous!
first of all, i do pray but i usually just say father and i always pray in jesus name and i find it ironic that she is saying i should have an open mind when hers is closed.
Here is some good key scriptures, what is the good news? 1corthinans chapter 15 answers this.
What must one do to be saved john chapter 3 and chapter 6 says just believe in Christ, no works needed. Ephesians chapter 2:8-9 says works are only for boasting.
The gospel say that jesus taught that we should not judge , do not exalt ourselves and that a true Christian loves everyone even his enemies.
Jesus did not shun anyone.
There are plenty of scriptures that teach that god does not show “favoritism” in the books of Acts Romans and such.
There also a plethora of scriptures that state all who believe and do the will of god are gods children Mathew 12:50 is a good one . These verses and subject I mentioned completely show how then JWs are wrong and can no way be the true religion. In fact the New Testament doesn’t say anything about having to be part of a sect or organization or cult to be right with god and be saved. Good luck to you!
