Ten Years From Now .......
by Phizzy inwhat with the very low baptism rate, many leaving, many waking up and staying in for now, but not "zealous" any more, the wt/jw religion/scam is without doubt moribund.. i do not foresee a sudden end to the wt but what will it look llike in ten years time ??.
the late teens/early twenty year olds of today will i think be very thin on the ground as 30 year old jw's, so my view is that in ten years time it will be mainly old hardcore ones ,50 yr old and up, and even they will be aware that the org.
is dying..

The ones with access to the funds will be in the process of siphoning off their share before they disappear off the radar.
This will be triggered by investigations into the shell corporations to find where the assets have been hidden to avoid having to honor the judgements against the organization, taxes due after their tax exempt status has been revoked.
Their control of information will be gone decreasing their retention and conversion rates, the blood and shunning policies will be eased but it will be too little too late as the decline accelerates. The communication technologies the Watchtower were slow adopt will allow the younger and born-ins to compare thoughts and notes unmonitored. This exchange of information will allow an organized resistance among the members, either forcing change or a spiral toward extinction. The enforced abstination from higher education will provide easier to control members but reduced donations.
The scandal from the disappearance of funds will cause the collapse of both the central printing operations and central control, will result in schisms in each geographic areas where the remaining adherents will have commonalities and the local leaders will have less insulation from the remaining members, but absolute unity will be a memory.

It was just dreamy.
Care to see the scars? Free funny story with each one.
When a belt, strap or switch was used I was glad the punishment session would be brief; much preferable to the screaming, kicking, and slapping that seemed to go on forever until they were exhausted.

The "Secrecy Policy
by Celestial ini've given this recent lawsuit quite a bit of thought and come to sound conclusions.
after examining other organization's child-protection policies (namely churches), what i've come to realize is there's a one-size fits all solution that's socially acceptable; all information obtained through witnesses and confessions by organizational personnel is be used to aid and abet law-enforcement.
there's no in-between or anything short of this objective that's socially acceptable.

This case reveals why the Watchtower Society offered a settlement in 2007, “for the sake of the victims,” not to “cover anything up
—----------
This whole line of reasoning falls apart at the summation when the reader is aware of the FACT that the settlements also have a gag-order attached.
This only serves the "sake of the WTB&TS" and helps "cover their mistakes up"!
