Smurfs, Cabbage patch kids, going to the gym, LOTR, Harry Potter, have all come into the JW radar over the years.
I’m just curious but was going to the gym, seen as been un-theocratic. Or was it just a thing confined to my local area.

I’m in the same position with my aged father. To be honest I really don’t want him to wake up, and in my opinion is better of left in there. It can be frustrating but it’s the point of status quo, where although not perfect, it’s manageable. Maybe this is what might work for you.

I agree with bluesbrother, that physical meetings won’t be abandoned. There would just be to many long term loses, for the short term monetary gains.

To be fair, I think it was a good thing that the distanced themselves when they did. With all the controversy, both when he was alive and when he was dead, all the bad press that would of resulted.

Be interesting to see how this changes them. I think DF will become more a personal thing rather than the official line. Perhaps DFing could be seen as a damaged relationship between the wrong doer and Jehovah. Day of judgment. The only thing That changes WT is when it hits them in the pocket, so I’m trying to get into their mindset.

At the time I had just learnt on the internet how the org was using quick builds/ refurbishment to get the titles of the Halls e.g Menlo Park. Coincidently there had been a recent refurbishment on a hall in the Local area. I thought “Right I’m going to get to the bottom of these apostate driven lies.” So I actually phoned the elder in that cong and asked him what the situation was with the title of Hall. His reply astounded me. Although he seemed to recall something about the title been changed over. He had no idea of the ramifications, and was really vague and sketchy on the details. It was to the point where I thought the guy had no idea of just what had happened or what he had done. He didn’t seem to think there was a problem. I remember after having spoken to him of what a total F*c& wit he had been. Sadly I was like that once.
